Everyday people are bombarded with ads that proclaim this diet or that pill or my exercise program will allow you to lose weight and keep it off permanently. Yet for all of these books, diet programs, pills and exercise equipment, people struggle to lose and keep the weight off permanently. It's frustrating. Because of this more and more people are turning to hypnosis as an alternative method to help them lose weight.
Studies have shown that hypnosis is a very effective method of both losing weight and keeping the weight off. It can work solely by itself. It works with any diet plan. It works with any exercise plan. So what makes hypnosis so effective?
Hypnosis works from the inside out. Diets and exercise programs work from the outside in. By this I mean that diets and exercise programs assume that losing weight is simply a physical issue. Hypnosis works in the opposite direction.
Hypnosis starts with the mind. Hypnotists believe is that the body is a reflection of the mental image we have of ourselves. Once a person changes the mental image, the mind must create the physical representation of this image.
Here's an example of how a traditional diet without hypnosis works. A person believes that they are fat. They go on a diet telling themselves that they are fat and need to lose weight. This person goes on the diet, loses a few pounds. During this period the person continues to tell themselves that they are overweight. The person struggles, gives up and feels like a failure. What happened? Simply this, the person's mental image was that of an overweight person. Because of this image the mind did everything in its power to maintain the physical representation of the mental image. Yes it let the body lose a few pounds but when the weight lose became too great and the physical body began to differ from the mental image by too much, the mind stepped in and began to create the urges and desires to eat more food. The mind created the struggles that led to the person giving up the diet and returning to their previous weight. It's called yo-yo dieting.
So how does hypnosis overcome this? The first step is the most important and that is to create a new image of you. In a state of hypnosis it is very easy to imagine anything you desire. So in this state a person imagines an image of themselves that is at the correct weight and shape that they want. They create this image in such a realistic fashion that the mind believes that this in fact the self image the person has of themselves. And through hypnosis it actually does become the self image.
After the new self image is firmly established the second step occurs, the mind must create the physical representation of this image. Now instead of causing the person to eat too much or eat the wrong types of foods as happened with the overweight person, the mind does just the opposite. It creates new beliefs about food and eating that are in alignment with those of a slim trim person. And the best part, it does this automatically.
People who use hypnosis to lose weight find that their eating habits change without their even thinking about it. They find themselves eating less. They find themselves eating better foods. They find themselves exercising more, all of this and without them even having to think about it. They no long even think about counting calories at a meal. They no longer have to think about which foods to eat and which to avoid. They no longer have to force themselves to go to the gym. Because of the new mental image they have of themselves, the mind creates these new programs and they run automatically, without any conscious thought. This is what makes hypnosis effective and it is what makes losing weight with hypnosis so easy.
If you struggle with your weight, find a good hypnotist in your area and end the struggle. Use hypnosis to change your self image and your physical body must follow.
