I probably won’t report back until next week. My plan is to listen to the full program at least once a day in the evening for 30 days.
I will be travelling this weekend and I’m hoping that restarting this program will keep me from going completely off program.

I haven’t been listening much lately but I’m getting ready to start my push to the end of the year. I’m going to use this program the way that I intended to: to help me get through the holidays and into the new year.
So, I’ll be starting up again. My goal is to lose 5 lbs by the end of December. I’ll weigh in tomorrow morning.

So, this week, I’m really trying to be more conscious of what I eat. Honestly, more and more, this is key for me.
The more I focus on what I am eating when I am eating it, the less food it takes to satisfy me.
I’ve been consistently listening to the full-length program in the evenings and have managed to sneak in the reinforcement session in most mornings.

Yes, I’m still here.
I must confess I haven’t listened to my recordings much in the past month. I’m a part-time student and, since school started, I just haven’t been making the time to listen.
I am working on my attitude about my weight and all that is associated with that. Part of the reason that I struggle with dieting is that, mostly, I think I look fine. My bloodwork says I’m healthy. I’m strong. I run and lift weights. I’m just stuck carrying around quite a bit of extra weight. (Really, I am. And no, I don’t have a thyroid problem.)
I was hoping these recordings would help me shift my attitude about eating and, to a point, they have. When I focus on what I am doing, I am eating less and I am definitely snacking less, but apparently, I am still eating more than I need.
So, today, I’m back to the recordings and I’m also doing some journalling about where I want to be. I’m focusing on being that person who weighs 30-40 lbs less than I do today. For my health and well-being, it’s where I need to be.

It looks like the scale is moving again! Not a lot but I will take it. 
I’m down 0.5 lb this week, not bad considering I had to go out of town for a few days.
Time to get a new battery for my Azone mp3 player. I don’t know if this is typical. It runs on 1 AAA battery and seems to run out after 10-12 hours of play or about every 2 weeks? I really ought to load the CD on my iPod and see how that works.

The hypnosis effects do not seem to be kicking as easily or as quickly as they did the last time. I’m making an effort to listen earlier in the evening before I go to bed and that seems to be helping. (This, as opposed to putting on my headphones and going to bed.)
Starting today, I’m adding listening to the 10 min reinforcement session during the day to see if that helps.

I guess it’s better to be too busy than not busy enough at work?
At any rate, I’ve been maintaining these past 2 weeks. I believe I’ve identified the problem: I’ve been listening at night and I believe I’m falling asleep and missing out on the effect. So I’m going back to listening in the mornings.

The scale is starting to move again. A little bit.
4 weeks in, I’m starting to hear Don’s voice in my head while I’m eating again.
I’ve also realized that’s very important to listen to the recordings a little more consciously than I had been. My mind definitely wanders over the course of a session but trying to be a little ‘present’ seems to help.
Falling asleep during the session is OK but it’s definitely more effective if you do not. I definitely retain less on the days when I slap on the headphones and crawl into bed at night. I get more out of listening first thing in the morning when possible.
July 11, 2008
No change for me this week. I’m a little disappointed but honestly not too surprised. I missed a couple of days of listening and I can see that that had an impact.
Lesson learned, right?
