Lose Weight - Better than atkins!

[stephbob]

Riiiight! I just saw a commercial for a live hypnosis show on TV on January 9th which is going to make everybody thin!

It's...different, I guess! But unless it hypnotizes the world for so long that they starve themselves thin, I'm surprised theyre even allowed to advertize BS like that on TV!

I found it funny, because the only reason I looked up was cause I was typing on here and heard this man say "Eat whatever you want, however much you want, because its Christmas! Because on January 9th, I'm going to make you all thin"

Does Paul McKenna know the meaning of the words FALSE ADVERTISING?!

Sounds ridiculous!
Does anyone believe that hypnosis will bring a lifelong sustainable change to their eating habits ?????

By the way Steph, your current photo looks hot! Congratulations on your progress!
(Take that as a compliment - P.S. I'm not a creepy stalker :P)

Re: Lose Weight - Better than atkins!

haha thank you! I will be highly amused if people believe commercials like that, but also deeply saddened that there will be people so desperate to lose hundreds of pounds (like the people featured in the commercial) that they'll try something as ridiculous as hypnosis!

Re: Lose Weight - Better than atkins!

And what a fantastic word "twonk" is! LOL

Re: Lose Weight - Better than atkins!

I was just thinking that lol. I think I shall work it into my vocabulary. Set myself a goal. See how many times I can say it on the phone to customers tomorrow haha (needless to say, my job is tedious!)

Re: Lose Weight - Better than atkins!

I work on the phones alot too. And quite regularly me and my colleagues give each other words to sneak into conversations.

One of the words I recently had to sneak in was "plethora", I learnt that it means full (or something like that). So I said to a lady on the phone that we offered a plethora of training courses!

I need to know how many times you get "twonk" into conversations tomorrow, and then kindly report to me via PM's how often you did it LOL

Ooooo, that's my favorite word!!! It means "a superabundance; an excess", so your use of it was spot on, Rich!

I used self hypnosis CDs in addition to Atkins. Worked great but I didn't continue doing it.

Re: Lose Weight - Better than atkins!

I got THREE twonks in today!! Go me! haha My colleagues and I also give each other random words to mention (who ever said call center jobs were boring?!)

Our latest words have been:
-Broccoli
-Clouds (kinda boring)
-Leprechauns
-Cabbage
-blasphemy
-squirrel

And surprisingly, it's not too difficult! lol So if any of you ever call Travel City Direct for a holiday, don't be surprised if we start talking about what we had for lunch or mystical creatures

I've had a few friends inadvertedly sing to their clients too...embaressing for them, humerous for us haha Thats what happens when the person next to you takes your client off hold without you knowing haha

Re: Lose Weight - Better than atkins!

I know what you mean, its so easy to get a random word in to the conversation if you have to.

In what context were your three "twonks"!
