This is silly (then again.. when isn''t it?).. have you ever been hypnotized?

I have been hypnotized 3 times. Two private once with a group. All for weight. It is very strange. I don't know if they worked really or you just get the reassurance you need that tells you that you can do it! You are in full control the whole time you are 'under' that is why unless you 'want to do something' you won't do it or be successful. If you are committed to dieting you will be successful without hypnosis. I lost many times (and am down 30lbs right now) without it. I did find the tapes that you listen to before sleeping a help. They are very relaxing and remind you can do it! I think it is more a matter of willpower. No magic, if you want to eat you just have to choose the right thing. Just remember any craving only last 3 minutes so distract yourself or snack on something good for you. I'm enjoying frozen red grapes right now. You can do it!

Thanks! My FW is trying to lose weight for our Wedding. She's very concerned about it. I tell her that in my eyes, there will never be a more beautiful bride than her to me (no offense to the many beautiful brides on here.)

It's a struggle for her. She exercises.. does a lot of walking.. eats right.. she has the tapes.. and I'm slender and can go to McD's and have a Big Mac. Sometimes I am not the best influence because I can be lazy. Not good. But I'll work with her & help her. Besides, I do need to bulk myself up a bit. Get stronger.

I appreciate your kind sentiments. Thanks!

Thanks Bellz!

Hey I realize that I write a lot of off the wall stuff on here.. but when it all comes down it.. I know there's only one FW for me.

And I pray to God.. if I'm lucky enough to spend the next 40-45+ years with her, I will have lived every dream I ever had.

Thank you very much!

Ahh.. busting on the DH.. LOL... But I have seen him on here and from reading his posts..

I KNOW he's a good guy!

And I also know...

It's less than 2 months for FW and me.. wow...
My countdown says 52 days.
Still so much to do.

I actually joined LIW very early in my engagement. But I never posted. I remember when my coundown said 600 days. God knows.. where the heck did those 550 days go? It's been SOOOOO quick!
