But with hypnocise it's really different, it puts all the thoughts and motivation into your mind and gets you ready to exercise. It's crazy, I can feel my body preparing itself. I'll think about doing crunches and it will feel as if I've already done some.

Danielle said: 'At the time I lived with my friends, when I started putting weight on, I was probably in my late teens. I had a job and I had money for the first time and I lived on takeaways, all the worst kinds of food. 'I would have breakfast and then a snack and then dinner and then I'd snack through until tea, which would probably be a takeaway. It was always convenience food. I was going through that time in your life when you suddenly have a job and money and I started to go out with my friends and drink. I always used to feel like the ugly one but now I feel incredible It was all a novelty, it was all new and exciting. And the weight just slowly crept on. I just didn't realise what was happening, I didn't see it creeping on. 'I didn't realise at first and then people started to make comments when I was in my early 20s. I think the first one I really remember was when I bumped into an old school friend and she said she worried about me because of my size. 'She wasn't being mean or anything, I do think she was genuinely concerned. I was putting my life at risk and in the end I realised something had to change. My mum just made it so much easier for me because I found it hard to be motivated. Now I love going out with my friends and showing off my figure. I always used to feel like the ugly one but now I feel incredible. Bev, who is using the technique with other clients, said: 'I was worried about Danielle's fitness- her weight was reducing but she still wasn't anywhere near as fit as she should be. New woman: 'I always used to feel like the ugly one but now I feel incredible,' she said after being hynotised into loving exercise The HypnoGastricband helped her achieve her weight loss but I needed to get her motivated into exercising. When I did her first Hypnocise session I incorporated a short workout which we did together, then I repeated the same under hypnosis. But I also inputted positive subliminal, motivational suggestions to encourage her to repeat this every day and enjoy it as well. I put together a CD which took her through the workout under hypnosis- she then played this every day. I have never seen anyone change so dramatically. I added other exercises and extended the length of the session so she could endure more. Now she does 30 to 60 minutes every day. She is fitter and more energetic than ever and looks fantastic and I am so proud her.
