Hypnosis

I saw an ad in the paper the other day for a weight-loss class at a hypnosis clinic. Since overeating is one of the coping mechanisms for people living with BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) I'm getting fatter and fatter as the years go by. The way I see it, since my overeating is the direct result of a problem with my brain, why not confront my brain directly and see if I can solve the problem?
The class is only four weeks (once a week) and is supposed to start after Easter. The "hypnosis consultant" sent me a brochure and some information. I have to admit, there was a considerable amount of what I consider to be hippie technospeak but I'm still willing to give it a try. After all, it's gotta be better than putting unknown drugs into my body.
