"Last year, during an extremely stressful time in my life, I used food to comfort myself. Food became my best friend. As a result, my weight shot up 20 pounds and then I realized that food had become my worst enemy.
When I first listened to Trina Swerdlow's weight loss CDs I felt like she was holding a mirror up to me and I hated what I had let myself become. Just like she says on the CDs, some people emotionally eat to push down sadness, anger, and loneliness.
Bingo—she named exactly what I was doing.
I worked with Trina in private sessions and listened to her weight loss CDs several times a day. Her CDs gave me willpower and inspired me onto a healthier path—a path where I now have boundaries regarding what, when, and why I eat. Committed to this new path, I hired a personal trainer, exercised, lifted weights, and learned about nutrition.
I've currently lost 26 pounds and lost six inches around my waist. Today, thanks to Weight Loss: Powerful and Easy-to-Use Tools to Release Excess Weight, I know that food is only fuel and that there is a direct consequence from what any of us put into our bodies.
We all need help sometimes, but many of us don't know how to ask for it. So, don't give up on weight loss—just get the right tools for the job.
Working with Trina and her CDs gave me a powerful foundation to reach my goals!”

“Several years ago, I went to see Trina with a goal of losing weight. I appreciate how she took me deeper in our individual sessions—beyond the ‘making healthy choices,’ ‘strengthening will power,’ and other self-hypnosis exercises that are on her weight loss CDs.
"During one of my private sessions with Trina, I discovered the link to my mother and grandmother's way of leaving life…by not eating. This new awareness beamed a light through a window that I didn't know was closed! What I realized was: I thought of dieting as 'not eating' and I thought of 'not eating' (unconsciously) as leading to death. For that reason—I couldn't diet. When I recognized the faulty connections in my conscious and unconscious, the overeating challenges disappeared.
"Now, as I continue to watch my weight, I quickly notice when my waistband feels tighter, and I realize that it's time for a booster shot of listening to Trina's weight loss CDs. I know I have the tools to maintain my desired weight and I have. Thanks Trina!”
"Recently, I went to Trina Swerdlow's workshop, Managing Emotional and Compulsive Eating, at John Muir Women's Health Center. I am feeling very optimistic as a result of attending the workshop and continuing to listen to her Weight Loss CDs. The relaxing self-hypnosis exercises on the CDs have helped me cope and I am grateful. Already, I have been able to stop turning to sweets for comfort when I am feeling stressed. This is a big step for me. Thank you for your gift Trina."
