The hypnosis is working

Guys, call me crazy but I went out for lunch yesterday with the team at work after listening to my weight loss hypnosis recordings all morning - and it was incredible.

There was the most delicious-looking loaf of bread on the table, more than enough for all of us, and soft salted butter. It looked amazing, but my mind just said 'I do not eat bread anymore'.

I had vegetable soup and a salad, and I didn't crave the bread at all.

Then I was asked if I wanted a dessert, and I said, parroting the recording: 'I do not eat dessert anymore'.

I didn't even want dessert. Some delectable-looking chocolate cake arrived, and everyone tucked in, but I sat there serenely drinking green tea.

I didn't worry, as I generally do, that I should be joining in with everyone else - that somehow I was lacking team spirit. I just enjoyed my soup, salad, water and tea and felt happy that at last I'd found a weight loss strategy that seems to work.

I've got four stone to lose, but I really think I can do it this time.
