I apologise in advance to the guys on my flist, for this one.

So. I just booked some therapy.

Hypnotherapy, that is.

This biatch gon' slim her ho' ass down. Yuh huh.

I thought about it for a while, and I know - I fucking KNOW - what my problem is. It's not being able to take shit seriously. I get bored, I keep procrastinating and telling myself, "Yeah, I'll go to the gym next week. It doesn't matter if I eat a pizza today - I'll just be super-strict for the next week" - and you fucking know that ain't happening.

So, I'm enlisting the help of a hypnotherapist in Angel (the place, not the show, non-Brits). I know I can't lose the weight on my own because I don't have the will-power. But I really need to lose the weight. I may not look obese, but the fact is that clinically speaking the nurse at my surgery is probably right. And £90.00 isn't much to pay.

I know some people will probably think, "But hypnosis might not work". In which case, that's my loss of £90.00, but at least I tried.

I've got three items of clothing which are my measure of losing enough weight:

purple and black combats;

denim skirt I bought at Reading festival (I think) when I was seventeen (?);

'Angel' jeans - faded size 12 (UK) Hustlers with the London Underground sign for Angel Islington sewn on the back, and 'BIONIC' biroed on the hip pocket, from back when I was sixteen or seventeen.

When I can comfortably fit into those, I will be happy. It's actually only two and a half dress-sizes.

I don't want to be thin - I want to be slim. Healthily so. And when I am that size, I'm going to reward myself with the heart tattoos on my hips.

(For those I teased about that, the reference is "falling apart to songs about hips and hearts".)

Hopefully, at this point much of the ridiculous boobage will be gone and I can start buying pretty bras from high street shops, as well. That would be so nice. Just to be down to a size D... that's more than enough. That's like six cup sizes, though. I don't know if I'll be that lucky.

But yeah. I told myself 2007 was going to be a year of change, and now I'm actively doing something about it. I'm proud of that.

I really just hope it works.

Hey good luck with that and let us know how it goes. If it works I will definitely give it a go. I need to loose the 100 pounds I packed on when I moved over here!

Sure thing. I'm sure I'll either be doing squeeful or depressed updates over the next few weeks. There's one woman on the website for this guy claiming she lost two stone in four months - which is pretty impressive. I don't expect it to go that fast, but wow.

I lost that much in just over two weeks just by using apple cidar vinegar - £0.69 a bottle...

Ahh here is the link I meant to include with my response.

I had just come back from the doctors and discovered I had lost about 2 stone in just over two weeks from the last visit - through the use of Apple Cider Vinegar.

Damn. I shall give that a go! Two stone would be awesome. I could do my parachute jump, then.

Just be sure to take a multivitamin every day and to up the potassium levels with supplements. I eat extra bananas myself on top of the vitamin. You must drink loads of water, but you should see the results if you're doing it right. Also check with the doc so that they can keep an eye on you. Eat healthily and dont overindulge and you should be fine.

I fell off the wagon big time over the holidays and Ive paid a price. Getting back on it now.

Good luck sweetie!

Thanks - you too.

We should be diet buddies and keep an eye on each other! :)

But right now I'm heading to bed - night night.

I think hypnosis totally works if you believe it works, btw.

Good luck! Both my parents stopped smoking through hypnotherapy so I hope it works for you, too.

I'm proud of you, Sis. Mom and I joined Weight Watchers on Thursday and we're helping each other out. We don't want to be skinny, we want to be healthy.

-huggle- Bon chance.

Let me know how you get on, hon, okay?
