Before Miami Valley Hypnosis

My name is Dave Gregorovic. I am 38 years old, a husband and father, and I came to Miami Valley Hypnosis at the beginning of January 2000. How appropriate to start a new century, a new millennium, with an exciting program which is changing my entire physical and mental outlook on food, exercise, and life as a whole. My story is probably not too different from many people across this great land. But it is a story to share, because changes, enormous changes, in your lifestyle, can and will occur, if you believe in Miami Valley Hypnosis.

In the almost 16 years since I graduated from college, I had added 75 pounds to my 5' 9" frame. It took a long time to build up to this weight. It did not occur overnight. When I was in college, I played baseball where I was on a very regimented training program in terms of exercise and diet. After graduation, the proper eating and exercise habits that I learned gradually wore off. As the years passed by and pounds added with each passing year, weight maintenance became a gruesome, tiresome, and eventually a futile battle. Every once in a while, I would get on one of those fad diets (I tried the Rotation diet) that would work for a short period of time, but soon after would balloon back to my original weight and then some. The poor eating habits that I had developed led to an ever-increasing waistline. Looking back, I can say that my workouts and exercise sessions became fewer and fewer, the number of cans of soda pop became more and more, and the number of times I ate and snacked during the day approached double-digits. My favorite meals were pizza and pasta. I could not stop eating even after I was full. I had to eat more at a meal than was needed. I could hear my mother telling me to clean my plate, "There are starving children in China". My worst habit was the classic "late night snack"... leftover pizza (if I hadn't already ate the whole pie at dinner), chips, pretzels, you name it. I was eating all the time. Even before dinner I would eat. I would stop at a Wendy's to get a cheeseburger and a coke just to break up the one-hour drive I have each day from work. It was as if I was on a one-way street driving the wrong way.

I needed to get on the right path right away. The situation was becoming increasingly critical. Prior to coming to Miami Valley Hypnosis, I was downtrodden and depressed about my weight. The more weight I put on, the more I ate. The more I ate, the more weight I put on, which made me more conscious and depressed about my weight. It was becoming a vicious loop. It truly affected my attitude, confidence, and self-esteem. People at work were noticing and saying things to me. All of these habits, or traps, that I had fallen into, were causing me to be physically and mentally weak. Trying to remain active in some sports, I realized that I couldn't perform at the level I desired. My weight was also becoming a health risk. Coupled with the stressful job that I have as a Purchasing Manager, I had to do something right away.

What I needed was exactly the program at Miami Valley Hypnosis has to offer…a life style change that is forever. Through education, relaxation, and positive suggestion techniques, I LOST 60 POUNDS IN 7 MONTHS without gaining any of it back. I began losing the weight immediately. And the best part this program is that it is SO EASY. Miami Valley Hypnosis has helped me remember the things I already knew but forgot by making good eating and exercise habits second nature. Through the nutrition class each week, I learn all about how the body reacts to food and what the body needs and doesn't need. These classes teach me how to lose weight through proper nutrition, supplements, and exercise, and the relaxation sessions reinforce the lessons taught. I eat better foods that taste great, like fruits and vegetables, and I eat only what I need to give my body energy. I now find myself leaving food on my plate without guilt. The cravings that I use to have every 5 minutes are gone. It is so easy for me to pass on a pizza and order a salad topped with chicken with some fresh fruit and vegetables. Coupled with the nutrition classes, the hypnosis sessions make a powerful one-two punch in releasing the awesome and unbelievable power of the mind in creating change and reinforcing it to an ever-lasting way of life.
