Hypnotic Weight Release

I started a knitting and hypnosis study last night. A friend put me on to this to help out the woman doing the study. For those of you who are addicted to Ravelry, her group can be found there discussing how the soothing repetitious movements of knitting or crochet help induce a state of relaxation helpful to self hypnosis. My additional benefit for participating being that I could pick a category of improvement, (and as I am not a smoker etc) weight release was an extremely obvious choice (pun intended). Last night was the first session (I sat on my own couch, listened to my iPod while making myself a scarf, not exactly a hardship!) and I might just be convinced already. I don't think it is the cure all to everything, but even just listening to the affirmations daily will help me to keep on track, and anything more is gravy. I made smarter snacking options after completing the sessions than I was planning to before I started. An apple over finishing the last peanut butter cookies ( just to get them out of the house).
