Testimonials

Judith, Somehow there’s been a force that has got me where I am. I haven’t lost this much weight before, and I’m still eager and energetic to lose more weight and get back into shape, in spite of health problems. I haven’t lost interest. I do not get discouraged. I just stick with it. In the past, I’ve never been able to maintain the focus and concentration to stay with it this long, and it’s been eight months. I attribute this to the suggestions that are now in my subconscious…
Dr. Pearson. What I appreciated was the tapes. They helped me change my outlook. Weight control will always be a lifelong thing for me, but I do things differently now. For example, I now walk my dog for a mile every day. The program put me on a schedule. I needed that structure. It was wonderful. The one thing I learned: if you can control your mind, with a focus on the goal, that’s the trick. The sessions were very relaxing, like a mini-vacation. It was so pleasant. – J. B.…
I hear your voice in my mind. It’s self-talk that wasn’t there before. Now when I look at some fattening food in the store—like one day it was fried chicken and another day it was carrot cake—some food I shouldn’t eat, I say to myself, “You don’t need that.” – P. M. (Reduced 14 pounds by eighth session)
My association with you seems to keep me on track, whereas in the past, usually at ninety days into a diet, I lose interest and I give up. It seems there is some inner force guiding me and pushing me this time that is different. – G. J. (Reduced 16 pounds by eighth session)
Dear Judy, Thank you for helping me finally conquer my sugar addiction. Because I am pre-diabetic, I know sugar was my downfall. In just a couple of sessions with you, I was amazed that I just didn’t want it anymore! Now I can pass up that tray of donuts at the office staff meetings! I was totally skeptical—but not anymore! – P. A. (Reduced 16 pounds by eighth session)
Dear Dr. Pearson, when I last saw you, at the eighth session, I had lost 18 pounds. I want you to know I keep reading the workbook and listening to the CDs and now I have lost 40 pounds in the past year. Your program worked for me! – T.S. (Reduced 40 pounds at follow-up)
Judy, I can’t thank you enough! Your program was the boost I needed to stay on my diet and exercise plan! Even when I thought I would give up, your help made the difference! Thanks, again. – J.W. (reduced 25 pounds by eighth session)
