Weight Loss

Making the decision to eat more healthily is a rewarding step towards a more energetic, nourishing, fit and healthy life. Hypnotherapy supports and encourages that decision and re-enforces the idea that you are able to control your eating habits. Ensure that you also have the encouragement and support of your friends and family if possible.


Achieving your goals

ü     Make a commitment to succeed.

ü     Write a list of the rewards and benefits of choosing healthy food.

ü     Visualisation – Imagine yourself on a beach and see yourself being the size, shape and weight you want to become, feel your body as you would like it to be.

 

Tip: Muscle weighs more than fat, so if you start to exercise, be aware that this may make you gain weight.  This is not necessarily a bad sign as we will remain focused on the goal of maintaining a size and shape that pleases you.


Consciously change the way you think

Your subconscious mind can be ‘hypnotised’ positively or negatively by the conscious thoughts that you, yourself choose to exercise in your mind!

Avoid using the term ‘lose weight’ when you are talking about setting your goals.  ‘Trying to lose weight’, is one of the reasons why you may have failed in the past. Instead, think about being a size and shape that would make you happy. Hypnotherapy requires your conscious ‘willpower’ to be effective; using hypnosis does not give you permission to overeat whilst in therapy! Success will require focusing your conscious mind, in addition to the work that is done with hypnosis in your subconscious mind.

As a rough guide it can take up to four sessions to begin to achieve and maintain a healthy size, shape and weight using hypnotherapy. It is helpful to remain focused on the benefits and rewards of changing your lifestyle. These are personal to the individual but can include;

·        Feeling and being slimmer

·        Enjoying having more energy

·        More confidence

·        Enjoying more control over your life

·        Feeling more mentally calm

·        Looking more healthy and attractive

·        Receiving congratulations and compliments from friends and family   

·        Feeling happier and enjoying life to the full

The hypnotic program includes suggestions for improved mental calmness, physical relaxation, confidence and competence. It also focuses on being more in control, choosing healthy food, sticking to your decision, and eating sufficiently for your physical needs.  

We will set the goal to achieve and maintain the size, shape and weight that pleases you.

The hypnotic suggestions encourage you to become more and more attracted to eating and drinking food and drink that is healthier; food that supports this goal that you have set yourself.
