5.0 out of 5 stars First Time I've Lost Weight During the Holidays, January 2, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Slim Forever for Women: Subliminal Self-Help (Audio Cassette)

I bought this tape during the first week of December and listen to side one almost every night. I can't sit in a chair uninterrupted for 30 minutes like the tape says to, so I listen to it after I go to bed. I listen to side two, the subliminal side with music, whenever I can while driving to work, making supper, cleaning house, etc. I'm already a fairly optimistic person, but after the first ten days, I felt SO CHEERFUL! I also lost two pounds. I was amazed; I had always gained weight during the holidays and this was the first time I had actually lost weight. Now it's been three weeks, and I'm noticing an unfamiliar, delightful change in myself. Just today I unthinkingly popped a handful of raisinettes into my mouth, and immediately had no appetite for them. I had to spit them out. Again, I was surprised that I was having these thoughts of not wanting sweets, as I have always craved them. I've lost three more pounds. The tape is not just a bunch of suggestions to eat sensibly; it is powerful persuasion that rewires your brain to eat right without thinking about it, without even trying. I can see why the tape requires six weeks of daily listening, because years of bad eating habits takes awhile to change!

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't Force It, July 9, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Slim Forever for Women: Subliminal Self-Help (Audio Cassette)

Before using this tape, I was 5'6" and weighed 200 pounds. I would snack from the time I got out of bed until lunch, eat a substantial lunch, snack a little throughout the afternoon, and eat a full dinner. Then I started listening to the subliminal side of the Slim Forever tape as background music while I read books, paid bills, puttered around the house, whatever. I only listened to the self-hypnosis side occasionally. In just a week or so, I noticed that I was eating a "reasonable" (fruit, toast) breakfast and wasn't thinking about lunch until lunchtime. In four months, I lost 40 pounds without even putting forth any effort -- no "dieting," no calorie counting, no packaged foods, no pills, no calisthenics or aerobics. I just began to eat healthily without even paying attention. I didn't weigh myself daily; I didn't use any other aids, tips or plans. I knew by the way my clothes became too big for me that it was working. On the mornings when I did step on the scales to see what number it would show, it was a real esteem booster. When I thought I was "done" with the tape, I loaned it to a friend. Now I find I need it again -- or need some kind of maintenance program. I kept the weight off until I got pregnant, but I'm having trouble getting rid of the "baby fat." Time to order another copy.

I bought this tape to use in conjunction with my final return to Weight Watchers. I knew that my weight issues all had to do with my view of food and use of food -- I wanted to rewire my thinking. This was a good mental booster to keep me focused. Sometimes, I even heard myself repeating the lines on the tape when I was getting ready to eat for a reason other than hunger. It stopped me and got me out of the kitchen. I listened to it in the car almost every day for a year (even the tape tells you not to listen to side A in the car). Anyway, I am now 20 lbs lighter and feel like food isn't the demon in my life it always has been. 20 pounds isn't much, but for someone who has been on a diet since 2nd grade, finally feeling like you've got food figured out at age 35 is the real prize.
