Sendning me to sleep

What I've not told a lot of folk is I've been attending hypnosis sessions, well I wasn't going to but pain in butt sister had booked and paid and then couldn't attend.
More thank likely she didn't want to but couldn't get money back, and she thought,I know who can go, and if it works she would at a later stage!
I know how she works!
Nice guy, have had hypnosis before and didn't work.
He puts you under to make you think you've had a gastric band put in.
Also messages in your mind about things you adore to eat which are bad, in my case chocolate.
First week he did it, the smell, the look of the stuff made me want to vomit.
Yep that big a reaction.
Was telling him to day it's ot as bad now, but my mind has decided, it's so not risking it in case it makes me sick!
I've not even got as far as looking at ice cream, too scared.
Today was the follow up, last visit with him, and in the 4 weeks I've lost 7 lbs, I think he guessed my disappointment it wasn't more. But keeps telling me slow is best! He's right, but you know wouldn't it be nice to be a dress size smaller for the birthday? ( can't do it, it's just 8 days away,lol)
Last time he gave me a cd and I told him all it did was send me to sleep.
He laughed and said I'm not the first.
Then I said because its a generic cd, my mind isn't going LOOSE weight.
It's switching off and sleeping.
So today he decided he'd teach me to put myself under, without a cd.
As I've 101 apps with sounds, he said as I seem to like them use one in the process, forget the cd.
He then put me under to reinforce stuff,I herd his voice the whole time I carried out a task, but you think I could remember what was said? I am convinced I went to sleep! But, I wasn't aware of nodding off as I could hear him.
But what did he say?
Am I going to look at chocolate and run away again?
He did try to help me by teaching me stuff I could do whilst n the MRI scanner in a few weeks time, to harness the noise and visualize stuff, which I may hopefully be able to do.
It could be a first, some one falling asleep in a MRI scanner!
Also I am hoping this new technique will hel me sleep better, as that's been kind of rubbish.
I've to text him next week, seemingly I can get all the support I need via text or e mail.
I can go back into the "office" and see him but as he said then it becomes a consultation and starts to cost whilst phone, text and e mail doesn't !
Maybe that's why I like this guy, he's got a o nonsense approach and he tries to cut the cost down by cutting to the chase! I've seen people do this and it's costs £500+ ( ok if sister had paid that) so its refreshing for someone not to drag this kind of thing out . Also his wife's favorite colour is purple ( he asked my favorite colour to help visualization after stating what his OH's was, and I can guess she might have bought today's shirt as it was purple as was mine!)So lots of purple in the session.
Fingers crossed , positive vibes folks, so this works.
Will being thinner make me happier? Who knows.
But it might.
