You
already know intellectually how to reduce your weight,
right? Eat right, exercise, and drink lots of water.
So why are you still struggling at it? You need to get
the message through to your subconscious mind in a way
that it can help you, not sabotage you! Hypnosis can
do just that for you, and more! How do I know hypnosis
will work for me?
"A
comparison of the hypnotically treated groups with the
control groups strongly indicates that hypnotherapy
for weight reduction is effective," according to
the well-researched, Handbook of Clinical Hypnosis,
published by the American Psychological Association.
The reason: your subconscious mind contains your body
image, habit centre, emotions, creativity, long-term
memory bank, survival instincts, and controls all your
bodily functions like your appetite and metabolism.
So it just makes sense to include it in your weight
reduction program. You have enough knowledge! Learning
to love your body, silence your inner critic, and fill
yourself up with positive self-regard instead of junkfood
will give you the best long-term results.
Imagining
yourself or referring to yourself as "fat"
helps create a self-fulfilling prophecy! For example,
your intellect knows that being overweight is dangerous
to your health. But if every day you look in the mirror
and imagine, "I'm getting fat, fat, fat",
repetitively saying that to yourself even when you were
thinner, then your subconscious will incorporate that
belief and act on it. You will get fat even though you
would rather be thin. Like when you are offered that
huge piece of chocolate cake from a "friend",
you might feel a little peer pressure... then say to
yourself, "Oh, what the heck, I'm fat. I'll start
my diet tomorrow". Sound familiar? Then you'll
continue to stuff those uncomfortable, guilty feelings
afterward with more unconscious eating. Thus, the vicious
cycle repeats. And you can never get enough of what
you really don't want!
Hopefully
by now you realize that "dieting", over-exercising,
or tweeking your metabolism with herbs or drugs doesn't
work in the long run either! That just
puts your body into survival mode, and you end up in
a hostile relationship
with your body. And what usually happens? Eventually
all the weight comes back, plus some...! Then it becomes
more difficult to release your weight later because
to your body FAT=PROTECTION.
Your
body is not the enemy, fatty food and refined carbohydrates
are the problem! Realize that we live in a toxic food
environment that panders to the overweight majority.
