50 Pounds & 3 Belt Holes Down*

During the past 4 months of doing hypnosis I’ve lost a total of 21”, and probably close to 50 lbs. I’m eating better while still enjoying foods I like. I’ve been able to completely cut out takeout & junk food. I am able to get into clothes at the back of my closet and have dropped 3 belt holes.
