Weight Loss – are You Fighting With yourself to Lose Weight?
Have you tried to lose weight in the past but failed? You may have been fighting yourself to do it. I’ll clarify.
There are two main parts to our mind: the conscious and the subconscious. The conscious part of you wants to lose weight and look excellent this upcoming season. Meanwhile, the subconscious wants you to continue to eat all the foods that make you feel comfortable and pleased. Unfortunately for you, those tend to be collected of sugar and carbohydrates which only make your waist line grow. In a scenario like this one, the person ends up yo-yo-dieting because their “Will Power” can only last so long – literally. Will Power only gives you a small burst of energy. Once it’s gone. It’s just gone. The only thing left behind is your emotional stress and frustration which can lead to a vicious cycle of weight rebounding.
That is the reason why the problem of bringing up the rear weight needs to be tackled at the source of where the mental conflict is – in your subconscious. The subconscious is where all your habits and patterns lie such as not eating healthy, not liking to exercise and drinking only soda. Once you get this part of your mind in sink with your goals, change becomes simple because you’re no longer fighting with yourself.
Hypnosis Has Been Scientifically Proven To Work For Weight Loss.
Setting your mind to lose weight and motivating yourself to delight in healthy habits is possible with Hypnosis. A noteworthy number of studies (several of which are listed below), have demonstrated that adding hypnosis to a weight loss program significantly increases its accomplishment.
A 1996 study conducted at the University of Connecticut published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology found that, on mean, people who used Hypnosis were able to lose 2.5 times more weight than a person not using Hypnosis. The authors went a step further by stating, “The correlation analysis indicated that the benefits of Hypnosis increased substantially over time.”
As someone who previously battled with keeping extra pounds off, I know that you need to have the right frame of mind in order to be thriving. You may have experienced occasions when you’ve dieted and exercised but then your will power wore off. In the end, you slipped back to your ancient patterns and rebounded in weight. This continuous vicious cycle affects you not just physically but emotionally because as your self-esteem spirals downwards you start to overeat; you start eating calorie laden comfort foods again and you get stuck in the same pattern.
This scenario happens to countless of Americans who fuel the diet industry with their buys of diet pills and other fads in hope of achieving their weight loss goals. The problem, but, is that the more you rebound, the more you set yourself up for failure for the next time you try to diet.
In reality, the perfect equation for most people to lose weight is simple. It’s:
Weight Loss = The Right Mind Set + Healthy Eating + Exercise
That’s it. In life as in science, the simplest answer is often the right answer.
Hypnosis can help you realize the right state of mind by “cleaning up the mental clutter” that prevents you from holding a determined course to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle. It gives you the ability to naturally chose to eat healthy foods, to want to exercise and to be focused on achieving your weight loss goals. For some, it’s as simple as one session, while others see benefit from a series of sessions.
In a research article titled, Hypnotherapy in weight loss treatment, a group of researchers found that in a test group of 60 participants, those that did not use Hypnosis only lost .5 lbs while the group using Hypnosis lost 17lbs. Why? Because the people who had access to Hypnosis sessions were able to realize that weight loss amalgamation that eludes most people today.
More waterproof of the ability of Hypnosis to boost a person’s weight loss was shown in January of 2004, when Dateline aired “Bringing up the rear it: Dateline ultimate diet challenge.” The show compared some of the most well known methods known to bringing up the rear weight including the Atkin’s diet, Slim Quick, Weight Watchers, extreme exercise with calorie restrictions, working with a diet coach and Hypnosis.
The top two weight loss techniques that worked were Hypnosis and the Atkins diet. Unfortunately for the man who used the Atkin’s diet (Rick Burns), while he lost weight, he also became sick. “Rick developed a awkward case of gout, a condition he’d had before, that he supposed was a result of the diet.” His diet had to be modified.
Marc Merlis, the man who did Hypnosis along with exercising and eating healthy continued to happily lose weight.
“After three months under Hypnosis, his wife had a nickname for him. Incredibly, “droopy drawers” had lost the most so far, a staggering 40 pounds. That’s when droopy’s wife got in on the action. She went to the hypnotist to quit smoking. And guess what? Smoke free, stout free. Five months in, for the Merlis’s things couldn’t be better. And at their son’s bar mitzvah this May, lifting Marc was a piece of cake.”
As long as Marc continued his Hypnosis routine, he was able to continue his path of bringing up the rear weight. One of the things that I noticed about this weight loss challenge was how much the other contestants suffered by the calorie restrictions that they had to undergo. It’s hard to focus if you feel that you are starving. Hypnosis helps program your mind to reckon thin – this includes wanting to exercise and wanting to eat healthy so you’re not constantly struggling about what choices you have to make. An added plus to Hypnosis is that it helps you control your stress levels. This in turn helps you to lose weight.
Even highly respected consumer advocate John Stossel of ABC’s 20/20, who is known for debunking fraudulent claims, agrees that Hypnosis is no sham. In his best-selling book, “Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidty”, he makes a bold take on Hypnosis:
“Just when my skeptic’s antennae convince me I always know bunk when I see it, I get fooled. I assumed hypnosis in medicine was one more con game… “Hypnotherapy will help you lose weight!” C’mon, if it worked, there wouldn’t be all those overweight people around. Truth: Hypnosis works — if you let it!”
Smokers can also reap the benefits of Hypnosis for weight loss. A two-fold study stated that both nonsmokers and smokers alike experienced noteworthy weight loss as well as decline in their Body Mass Pointer compared to the group who did not practice Hypnosis. In fact, the group who used Hypnosis continued to show decrease post treatment weights. Non-invasive and relaxing, Hypnosis makes achieving your goals simple.
Hypnosis simply allows you to have better motivation and self control as well as a positive emotional association with your diet and exercise. You don’t just lose weight, you gain control of your own life, so that you can go out there and realize all the other things that are on your list of goals.

what do you do when you've lost the strength to fight?I have been struggling with an eating disorder for nineteen years. I am 28. I am in a relapse and I don’t have the strength to fight it anymore. I want so much to realize my goals and my dreams, but the need for the control (of weight loss) is so much stronger. I am facing yet another hospitalization that could mess up a lot of things in my life. Part of me wants to fight like hell, but a larger part just wants to throw my hands up in the air and concede.
I don’t know why it is so hard to make the choice to be healthy…
If you’ve been here, how did you manage to pull yourself out of it?
Reckon about the person you like and how it will affect them.Really reckon about it. It surely helps to make me stronger.References :
Different hell, here, but it may be from the same cause. My suggestion is eat protein – like tuna or salmon and, for carbs, 5 minute oatmeal – even if you eat it dry. Keep only excellent healthy food around the house – don’t even buy the terrible stuff. Keep bags of excellent snack foods handy, and realize that every time you don’t want to eat, it is a signal that it is time to eat.
I truly don’t know if eating disorders are one symptom of high insulin causing imbalances in blood sugars, but my reading about hypoglycemia indicates it is possible. Check out http://www.hufa.org regarding blood sugar imbalances.
It is a struggle. Hope this helps you to keep fighting. I am pulling for you.References :
Keep getting help! I feel for you and all women that I have met like you. I’am sure you are really gorgeous and just don’t see it.
You have a problem but you can come out of it. Find a way to like yourself! God bless you!References :
Well my dear.. a support system would be a fantastic place to start. Finding others that are going through the same thing will help you find your inner strength again. You can try the group online http://groups.msn.com/ThinningandGrinning and just maybe you’ll find someone with the same issues as yourself. Tell them small-sucker sent you.References :

. Did you know that every choice, every action you take is exerting control over a situation or person? Of course it doesn’t mean it’s negative control but every act is done for the purpose of reaching a goal.
Just reckon, you showed fantastic control by reaching out here to question for help, rather than just engulfing yourself in pain and in things that will defeat your goals. That took a lot of strength and a lot of courage. I happen to believe you’re incorrect in believing your need for weight loss is stronger than your desire to live and succeed.
I know you’re saying "yes, but I only place it off until I finished posting my question". Right, so what if you take this one minute at a time for now until it’s not so strong?
I know it’s hard. I know sometimes it even seems impossible. I know your brain wants you to reckon that. Guess what… your brain is lying to you.
You can do this, Honey. Just like you’re doing it right now you can do it. There have been times when things seem so danged hard that I do just throw my hands up and concede… until tomorrow… or the next 20 minutes. I basically go to my foxhole, and pretend I’m just giving up the fight, until I feel strong enough to try again.
I reckon I can sense you’re not going to quit for excellent. If you need to retreat for a small while, do so. My email and IM’s are open too if you ever just need to distract yourself a bit.References :
Generally speaking, when we have some disorder, or unhealthy pattern, it is the result of some unresolved issue. So to address the eating will not solve the problem as the eating disorder is merely a symptom. There are many alternative treatments out there which help you to get to the root of the problem and be free of it once and for all. I really recommend Bodytalk. It uses the body’s innate wisdom and has been really caring for me. Hope this helps. And, don’t give up!References : http://www.bodytalksystem.com
