Are you a Yo-Yo Dieter? Don’t worry, that is not unusual.
Illustration by Chris Chuckry
How to lose weight is not always as simple as it appears it should be. Research shows that weight loss from dieting as a rule of thumb does not work, statistics show that –
Within 5 years you will likely have gained all the weight back plus more…
Willpower alone is unlikely to permanently overcome your subconscious habits and belief systems if they are deeply entrenched and serve a purpose…
Is this you?
Take this analogy; There are two people in therapy – and only one of them is me.
Not so long ago, I got bitten by what I thought it was a mosquito, (where I normally have three days of itching and scratching before it stops bothering me) however, my foot and ankle started swelling and going red/purple in a matter of days. It was cellulites. I went to the doctor who put me on antibiotics – 5 day’s supply. I went back because I had run out of medicine and nothing was changing. I was put on another antibiotic for another 7 days, that didn’t work either. I was then given a third strong antibiotic in the hope those would work.
What the doctor told me at the end of the first 5 days was that the antibiotic normally worked in most cases. Obviously that was not the case this time, nor the second time. After the third antibiotics my leg was still red, mauve and swollen and I went to the ambulatory section of the hospital to have intravenous antibiotics. The specialist there thought I was getting over whatever it was and gave me a leg stocking, telling me that it would still be swollen for another two weeks and not to worry, unless it got worse.
So really, that is the answer for you and other clients – some people change in 1 session, for others it takes longer.
We think I was bitten by a white tipped spider when sitting on a wooden viewing platform watching my granddaughter horse eventing.
The Facts –
Is it difficult to lose weight because:
- We don’t want to change our habits?
- We like the food we eat?
- We like the quantity of food we eat?
- We just like eating?
- We never feel full up?
Is eating is an emotional issue or a health issue?
- We eat when we are emotional or feeling hurt?
- We eat when we are feeling depressed?
- We eat when we are bored?
- We eat when we are celebrating?
- We eat because once we start we can’t stop?
- We eat because our brain doesn’t tell us when we have had enough?
Health issues or the Results of medication we are on can also play a part.
Other reasons?
The basics of hypnosis weight loss therapy:
- Teach you how to use your mind to lose weight…
- Work with your subconscious to lose the right weight for you…
- Release feelings and emotions that stop you from releasing weight…
- Up-front hypnotherapy to talk about your issues and the various methods of releasing weight that will include:
- Putting in a full-up feeling when your body has had enough to eat for a fit and healthy body and releases the urge to eat more than that…
- Share with you and tell you what will assist you to lose weight without it seeming a chore…
- Motivate you at a subconscious level to make these changes and do whatever it takes…
What Can Hypnotherapy do to assist?
Here are some therapies for you to choose from:
How to lose weight with ‘Hypnosis Gastric Banding’…
No surgery… No side effects… Motivation to exercise…
Putting you through a visualisation of a real gastric banding, so your stomach feels small and you can only eat small portions. If in hypnosis I ask you to imagine you are on a beach and hear the sound of the surf, feel the sun on your face, the sand under your feet… I don’t need to bring a beach into my office for you to imagine that. Likewise, you don’t need a therapist who sets up a smell machine and the sounds of a hospital. If you have ever been in a hospital, you know the sounds and smell of a hospital that you will be able to imagine when we do the work in hypnosis.
How to lose weight with ‘Exercising while you sleep’…
No surgery… No side effects… Motivation to exercise…
Suzie Gibbs had seen her weight balloon to 14st 7lb following years of avoiding the gym and a succession of failed diets. This method helped Suzie lose a stone in a month and eventually drop from a size 22 to a 14. Visualising exercising and doing sit-ups, reprogramming the mind to love exercise, caused the stomach muscles to become contracted and speed up the metabolism that burnt off calories quicker. The program was supplemented by listening to a hypnosis audio each night for a month.
How to lose weight with ‘A Gastric balloon in a pill’ helps patients lose weight without surgery or endoscopy…
Research
A new gastric mind balloon swallowed like a pill then filled while in the stomach, can help patients lose more that 37 percent of their excess weight over four months. By taking the pill and swallowing it, the balloon is filled up with fluid to about the size of a grapefruit. With the reduction of space in the stomach it changes hormones that control hunger and appetite. The balloon is emptied after 4 months.
Ninh T. Nguyes, MD, said “The device is not a permanent solution to weight loss, but has the potential to help those individuals who are overweight or have obesity and are not candidates for bariatric surgery. For many struggling with their weight, procedureless gastric balloon devices may serve as a treatment option that bridges the gap between weight-loss drugs and surgery”. Note* In hypnosis this can become an additional way to lose weight.
How to lose weight squeezing a tennis ball…
Asking your subconscious to eat, enjoy and evaluate if that was too much and Squeezing a ball in hypnosis causing your stomach to feel full and contract the muscles when you have eaten the right amount so you feel full up, through repetition in the session and asking your subconscious to do that so you feel the full up feeling is just as powerful as any of the above. Making adjustments as required, you are using your own innate inner wisdom to create the changes that are right for you. Eliminating or reducing what your subconscious knows is putting on the weight is easy when the subconscious makes the choice to do that.
