Hypnosis For Weight Loss and Weight Management
Hypnosis May Be the Way to Lose Weight Call Toll Free 866-522-5886 Who is a good candidate for this program?This hypnotic program is designed for those people whose excess weight is a result of overeating. This program does not address those whose excess of weight is the result of physiological causes. If you fall into the category of overweight overeaters, your problem is not in your metabolic rate; it is, most likely, in your mind, your subconscious mind. You may have lost weight with lots of conscious effort. Your conscious mind served as a military force to keep your hunger habits from invading. But, as soon as you reached your goal and stopped dieting, your subconscious took over again. This is because the subconscious is a great deal stronger than the conscious mind, and you did what you were most strongly directed to do: You ate more than your body physically needed. This program is designed for those who want to improve their appearance, losing weight without medication or dieting. To Top Your SubconsciousThe reason you overeat may not be at all clear to you. That is, you may not recognize the culprit if it walks right up and sits down at the dinner table with you. And why is this so? Any motive that is capable of making you operate in a way that causes you long-term physical, emotional, social, or mental discomfort is a motive that has, most likely, been well buried in order to avoid recognition. Excavating the reason will not be as difficult as you may suppose, because there are only a few major causes. These are the most common reasons people overeat. To Top Determine When, Where and Why you eat: Do you eat to reward or entertain yourself?
Try "I eat when I need attention." The more you think about this one, the more it may hurt - Try remembering again. As a baby cries, he gets his bottle, or is picked up to be held by mommy. You make a candlelight dinner for a loved one to please him, to have him smile at you and be nice to you. When you are upset, you give yourself a treat - cake, or a cookie. The trouble is that this behavior creates a viscous cycle: The larger you are physically, the more you feel the social pressure to be thin and lovable from a social point of view. Unfortunately, our society rewards thin and scorns fat, which leads us to the next major cause. To Top Do you eat because you are scared?Scared? Sexuality, attraction, consequences, problems, decisions, relationships..... Situations that demand your attention and responsibility may be emotional and involved. But, if your present situation demands nothing of you because your attractive self is literally safe hiding inside the overweight body, and you may be thinking that there are talented, interesting, and overweight people who still have sexual appeal, and, of course, this is true. But the general rule is that you are not enticing, nor do you seem receptive. Insecure people encourage their partners to eat more and get more overweight, so they will be unattractive to their competition. Thus securing the partner all to themselves. Some cultures believe that it is unhealthy to be thin and therefore undesirable. If you have extra ferw pounds on you, you are less open to diseases and therefore healthier.
Your Worksheet: UNDERSTANDING THE CURRENT MODELS OF YOUR BEHAVIOR - When, Where, and Why You Eat The following exercise will help you to further analyze your eating pattern. To identify when you are most likely to eat, where you eat, and why you eat, indicate yes or no next to each item in the list below. Circle appropriate words: Circle the reasons WHEN -- I eat when I am: frustrated stressed nervous bored angry hungry happy lonely anxious other:____________________________________ Circle the places WHERE -- I eat: watching TV with company while reading at breaks at lunch with friends/clients traveling between work/home at sports events in bed other:____________________________________ Circle the reasons WHY -- I eat when I need: attention entertainment love reward companionship to occupy myself to think about something else when I need a change in my activity to relax to compensate for something unpleasant to feel more important to feel secure for sexual attention other: _______________________________________ After you have checked the times, locations, and reasons you overeat, you can begin to change your behavior model. Look back at the WHEN category. Which ones are checked for yes? Below, expand upon what you've circled. Under the WHEN heading, write, "I eat whenever I am (nervous, bored, and so on)." Follow the same procedure for the WHERE and WHY categories. Now you have three or more statements that are true just for you. CREATE NEW MODELS:
Now, give yourself time to think of alternative activities. Make sure that these activities genuinely appeal to you. They are ones that you will commit yourself to during hypnosis. Below are just examples of substitute activities (new options for old habits) to stimulate your thinking.
Old: I eat when I am bored. New: When I am bored, I read a book, I call a friend, or go for a walk, exercise, work on my hobby, I use my positive hypnotic suggestion, I do self hypnosis, I listen to my weight loss tape. Old: I eat when I am anxious. New: When I am anxious I take a few moments to close my eyes and relax with my deep breathing exercises. I exercise, or work on my favorite project or hobby, I take a bath, etc. I use my positive hypnotic suggestion for feelings of well being, I do self hypnosis, I listen to my weight reduction tape. Old: I eat when I am lonely. New: When I am lonely I work on my social schedule, I call a friend, write a letter, or entry in my personal journal, run an errand for someone who needs assistance, or interact with a neighbor who needs company, I join a social club, attend a meeting, I use my post hypnotic suggestion for feelings of well being, I do self hypnosis, I listen to my weight reduction tape. WHERE Old: I eat too much or snack between work and my home. New: On my way home from work I walk part of the way, go for a drive to a scenic spot, take a walk, I read, I call a friend, I use my post hypnotic suggestion for feelings of well being. Old: I eat in bed New: When I am in bed I do my relaxation exercises, review my accomplishments and good qualities before going to sleep. I read, or make a schedule for the next day, I use my post hypnotic suggestion for feelings of well being, I do self hypnosis, I listen to my weight reduction tape. WHY Old: I eat whenever I need a change in activity. New: If I am engaged in a sedentary activity such as sitting at my desk, I change to one which is mobile, such as doing sit-ups. If I am engaged in an activity which is mobile, I change to one which is calming, such as reading, I use my post hypnotic suggestion for feelings of well being, I do self hypnosis, I listen to my weight reduction tape.
To Top Your New Objectives
2. To maintain weight loss 3. To incorporate new habits into your life The third objective is really the key to numbers 1 and 2. As you already know, the amount you eat and the way in which you use food is a pattern that has been established in your subconscious. In order to change your negative eating pattern, a new pattern must be created. You need to reprogram your subconscious. This is accomplished through hypnosis and self-hypnosis reinforcement and audio taped hypnotic reinforcement. The Program is designed to help you think, feel, and act in certain ways. The hypnotic suggestions assists your personal reprogramming of your subconscious by instilling positive suggestions that you have designed. To Top What To Expect:
After you begin listening to the tape, you'll begin to accept a slimmer self and to desire healthier foods that contain fewer calories. In addition, you'll have begun to establish new habits for when, where, and why you eat. Though your behavior should change immediately, your actual weight loss, of course, will be gradual.

Hypnosis May Be the Way to Lose Weight
Determine your weight loss goal with consideration for your age and your bodily structure, and Allow yourself to lose weight gradually. Be patient and have realistic expectations. In rare cases, a person's weight gain is not caused by overeating. Instead, there is a physiological cause other than caloric intake. It can be caused by an abnormal retention of water, low thyroid function, or the use of a drug that disturbs the body chemistry. If this is the case for you, you will recognize symptoms such as puffiness (as a result of water retention) or general lack of energy (as a result of low thyroid function). Your reason for being overweight is best determined by a medical examination. Hypnotherapy assists you to discover and access your creative, unlimited potential, thereby allowing for the release of negative or limiting habits and associated ideas. We all experience doubts or setbacks. Resolving problems related to self-esteem, confidence or motivation is one of the most important and valuable capabilities of hypnotherapy. To Top |
