 Helpf, Wonderdul, Amazing tool !
Like some people, I have to lose some weight for looking great and also for having a good health!! I have found this book really by surprise one day on Amazon. I have already read some book about hypnotherapy for losing weight (Paul Mckenna, Marisa Peer...) and I was not impressed. I have to say that I was not disappointed because I didn't give a lot of hope in this kind of book ... BUT that was until I discover Ursula James.
I have read her book for about three weeks from now. I took my time because I read this on my travel for working (about 5 pages per day on my train). Her writing was simple, her words were clear... I was really impressed by how the word went on my mind and deeply in. Her analyze is well done. Unlike any other book about the same subject, she explains how the past, the present, our environnement, our family, our life affect us deeply and allow us to have a poor diet life.
There is three phase on her book:
First one: The Past
Second: The Present
Third: The Future
For each phase, you have to read a track on her CD. She really explains when you have to listen each track. After listen a track, you have to take a day off (no reading further her book). And after that, you go on. Between her phase, she give you some tips, some advice. She tells you to do some "exercise": Like throwing away your old shoes, taking an appointment each week with yourself ...
As for her CD track; her track doesn't contain any music. And as for me, this is perfect. You concentrate on her voice. Her voice is really clear; the ton is perfect, she take time to use every word. This is hypnotic. I have to say, that for her track I don't really remember every thing she said. I am ashamed to say that I feel like I fall asleep. I am deeply focused. What impresses me is that I remember counting from 10 to 1 and after black hole ... and I come back when she counts from 1 to 10 and she ask us to "wake up and open you eyes".
I have listened to all three tracks by now and I have to say that I LOVE THAT. After a long and stressful day, I always feel low. But every time I listened to the CD I feel so refresh. I have so more energy and even my men told me so. I feel like I have spent a whole day in a thalasso or a long night of good sleep.
As for the contain of the CD, like I say, I don't remember. But since I begin to read and listen to the book I didn't crave for bad food, chocolates ... I crave for one thing: GOOD FOOD. It's amazing. I didn't think it but I buy more fruits and more vegetables than before. I also found me wanted to care of myself.
It's amazing because I didn't listen yet her third track twenty one times like she asks. But I feel some improvement in my way to live day to day. She has her great impact on me even if I had to say I didn't really believe in this before. I feel like I have a lot of compliment, good word. I feel positive. I feel like I have less stress which has an impact on me.
About this book, I also love the fact that she didn't give you any diet plan. I remember that in Marisa Peer's book, you have to stop eating carbs and diary. I think this kind of book is a help to lose weight. Of course you have to do something else, but what I really enjoy is that Ursula James helps you on an emotional level, she didn't intend to be a nutritionist and that's great. You don't want to hear, eat that not that! Ursula James helps us to feel less ashamed about our body; she helps us to love it... And love it mean take care of it!! She tell us so much POSITIVE things !!
I will update this book in a few weeks when I will be over the program to see how deeply this had been a helpful tool to lose weight. (I have more that 35 pounds to lose).
 Disappointed that CD not included
I bought the Kindle version of this book. I had the crazy notion that the "included CD" would actually be included as maybe an MP3 or Audible file. Guess not! The whole reason I bought the book was because it was accompanied by the CD to help with the self-hypnosis. I think Amazon is really missing the boat if they don't include audio content on Kindle purchases that are included with physical purchases. I won't be making that mistake again!
NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD HAPPEN
for a long time i have been trying to loose weight and like many others out there i have tried many diets and excercise.. now thanks to this great method of hypnosis i have finally managed to loose 20lbs. all in a month and i am so happy. i have definately changed the way i eat, no more snacks in between meals, drinking 6-8 glasses of water has never been more easy. i feel energetic and i find that i really want to do at least 30min. of exercise a day. i wake up in the morning feeling that every day will be a great day, and it is...best way to loose weight
The CD tracks are amazing!
The CD tracks are positive, and help you feel more positive and in control throughout the day. Although I've skipped a few nights of listening to the CD, I am now in a habit of listening to it before going to bed. Ursula's soft voice and pleasant accent relax me so I can sleep well.
I've noticed small changes happening that I didn't intentionally desire... so I cannot help but conclude that her suggestions are working. I particularly like her suggestion that my subconscious find what works for me and then do more of it. I don't have to try one thing after another after another. That alone is a big relief for me! For example I haven't been eating many sweet things. I didn't really notice because I never really wanted them. There are other things I've noticed, too. It's great!
I imagine I'll be listening to this CD long after I lose weight just for the relaxation it offers.
You Can Think Yourself Thin:Transform you shape with Hypnosis
Love this book. Easy to read and follow the suggestions. The hypnosis tape is wonderful. Ursula's voice is a perfect "voice" for hypnosis. Very different approach from other books I've read on this topic.
