WILL HYPNOSIS HELP ME LOSE WEIGHT?  YES!

 

The key word is “help.”  Hypnosis will not make you lose weight because it is not magic.  But hypnosis is very effective in helping you do some things vital to weight loss:  learn new thoughts and habits, remember them at the exact time you need them, keep your motivation up, and draw on some of your unused inner resources.

 

We don’t have to do anything in this world if we are willing to accept the consequences.  But IF you want to lose weight, there are certain things you MUST do, and which are under your control:

 

1.   Make a firm decision to lose weight.   This is the most important action, because you are focusing on an outcome, not on a method.  Different methods work for different people, but you are looking for results.

 

2.  Make a reasonable eating and exercise plan.  Weight loss requires you to change eating and exercise habits and the thoughts/feelings that accompany them.  Hypnosis might help here.

 

3.  Get rid of habitual self-defeating thoughts.  This requires planning and practice.

 

4.  Stick to it until it becomes a habit.  Thin people most likely learned these habits early in life.  Maybe you just didn’t learn them yet.  Now is a good time.
