I have been listening to Ideal Weight for about a month. I have great results with the other Parliminals, but am not having much luck with this one. I need to lose about 50 pounds, and have not lost any. I have not had an easy life, and have many issues tied up in questions of weight and food. I also have been listening to Self Esteem super charger, which makes me feel much happier and confident, but doesn't seem to effect my weight any, either.

Here are some issues that have come to light:

1. Part of me loves being overweight and not receiving attention from men, because they scare me..(abuse father, abusive former husband..yadda, yadda, yadda)

But I am a nice person and I deserve to look nice and feel good- be at my Ideal Weight. I really want to. It's a dilemna.

2. I am a single mother and full time student. Food is one of my few sources of relaxation and pleasure, and I don't want to give it up. Yes, I can take bubble baths and get my nails done and stuff, but nothing is like food for comfort.

3. My main caregiver that died when I was a kid loved me way too much with food, and that's how I connect with her now.

Does anyone have any advice? I keep listening to this Paraliminal, but don't feel like I'm getting anywhere. Oh, I also find myself vaccilating between weight watchers, eating whatever I want, and eating a whole foods/ healthy diet. The last one makes me feel best, but then I feel like I should be doing Weight watchers, and then I get frustrated and eat whatever I want. I'm very confused. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks for reading!
