Hello, my name is Edel Sykora. I am a hairstylist. This is my true story - How I relaxed away 33 pounds! - And how my dress size dropped from a 12 to a sleek 6 in just six months! It couldn't have been easier... By: Edel Sykora I had been overweight since my divorce ten years ago. I knew diets were not for me. I had seen too many of my friends try and fail with dieting. I tried many different exercise routines. The problem was, my eating was out of control. I couldn't resist the junk foods and snacks. A few years ago, I saw a television special about people who had lost weight and improved their lives with hypnosis. Then I saw Positive Changes Hypnosis in our local newspaper. I was so impressed with their results. I wanted to learn more. I immediately called to make my appointment for a free hypnosis screening. Instant Results! My free screening was relaxed and comfortable. The staff was caring and made me feel at ease. Nothing was pushed on me. I never felt pressured. I could tell the staff believed in what they were doing. Hypnosis gave me instant results! Within three days of my first session, I was no longer hungry. My clothing became loose. I melted off at least 5 or 6 lbs. my first week! I waited three months to actually get on the scale. Imagine my astonishment when I had lost 27 pounds! Cravings Vanish Before hypnosis, there were certain junk foods that I could not resist. Hypnosis eliminated my cravings for those foods in the very first week. I've had no ice cream and haven't missed it - not even once! I now realize how much food had controlled me. After being hypnotized, I am in control of what I eat. I am satisfied with less food and never feel deprived. My hypnosis program has taught me so much about health and nutrition. I enjoy food more than ever. I drink more water. I have experienced improvements in my health, well-being, energy and attitude. Doctor Recommends! My doctor was skeptical about hypnosis at first. After he ran some tests, and my results were better than average, his opinion changed. He discovered that losing weight with Positive Changes Hypnosis was good for my health. He thinks the Positive Changes program is great and is now recommending it to his other patients. Lifetime Benefit! I think people get more than they ask for with the Positive Changes Hypnosis program. It is a lifetime experience. The benefits stay with you for life. I have loads of energy. My health is wonderful. I feel great all over. Hypnosis is the easiest possible way to lose weight. You relax and lose weight at the same time. Honestly, it's that simple! People stop me in the street and tell me they saw me in the paper. They can't believe how much weight I have lost. A 10+ Program! I recommend the Positive Changes Hypnosis program to everyone. Positive Changes is the best investment you can make in your future - and it's surprisingly inexpensive! On a scale of 1 to 10, I give Positive Changes Hypnosis a 10+! I give them so much credit for my success. The staff has a great attitude and is well educated. They are dedicated to helping people and believe in their program 100%. I have kept my weight off for a year and a half without even thinking about it! Weight problem? What weight problem? g y More Success Stories "My eating was out of control.

The following is the winning entry by Brianna Forbes of Georgetown: Dear Constable Laurel Barnett, My name is Brianna Forbes and I am 10 years old. I really look forward to my summer holidays each year because one of my favourite activities is bike riding. When you ride your bike you should always follow the bike safety rules. I learned about bike safety in school this year. Here are some of the rules you should remember to follow when you ride your bike. 1. Keep both hands on the handle bars 2. Never ride double 3. Always ride on the same way as the cars 4. Use your hand signals to let people know where you're going 5. Pay attention to traffic signs 6. Walk your bike across the street 7. Don't wear long clothing; it could get caught in the chain 8. Don't ride with sandals or bare feet-- you could hurt your feet badly 9. Always ride single file 10. Make sure your bike has reflectors 11. Keep your eyes on the road Even if your friends don't think it's cool, remember to use your own head and always wear a bike helmet that fits. Following the rules doesn't mean you can't have fun. P.S. If I were lucky enough to win the Minelli mountain bike I would definitely keep following the bike safety rules. --Const.
