| Why People Overeat
Most people overeat to fulfill a need -
real or imagined. Some people overeat to help deal with an
unpleasant past. Others eat excessively to reward or entertain
themselves. Some want to be noticed and may use a large body
to offset a small ego. Eating can be used to compensate for
lack of love, to offset fear, to overcome frustration, to
deal with boredom, or sometimes even to avoid sex. Sometimes
it dates back to childhood, when you may have been told many
times to finish your plate of food and not to waste it.
Helpful to the hypnotist are lists answering
such questions as WHEN overeating usually takes place - what
psychological or emotional activity is associated with excess
eating, and at what usual time of day or night. WHERE the
overeating is done is important - at home, at parties, in
restaurants, while watching television, etc. And WHY (for
what purpose or to satisfy what need) is also a factor in
understanding the problem. Once we know the nature of your
habits, we can give you the personalized attention needed
to alter them to better suit what you want out of life.
No Diets, No Changing Foods, No Will Power
We all know that the key to weight control
is to ingest only as many calories as your body needs. But
if this were as simple as it may sound, no one would be overweight!
The reason so may people have trouble taking control of their
bodies is that while their conscious mind knows what to do,
their subconscious is struggling to operate on a different
agenda. You can tell yourself you don't need to eat that last
slice of cake all you want, but some part of you will still
desire it.
At Positive Changes Hypnosis, we operate
on the belief that you cannot control your conscious desires
if there is subconscious resistance. Hypnosis can make weight
control possible where every other approach has failed because
it does not depend upon willpower. Instead it helps you change
the way your subconscious mind works, bringing it into alignment
with your conscious desires so that slice of cake truly is
the last thing on your mind.
In this way, weight loss can become as easy
-as natural- as weight gain seemed to be. You will be compelled
to eat less, to eat smarter, and to exercise more all without
much effort. You will feel energized each and every day and
develop skills and knowledge about yourself that you will
use through the rest of your life.
Changes in the mind lead to major changes
in life.
Programming for Success
Your hypnosis program will work in several
different ways. We will help you modify your food interests
and tastes to increase your desire for healthy foods and reduce
your desire for foods high in fats and other harmful elements.
In addition, we will give you the tools necessary to eliminate
any other factors like stress or anxiety that may be compounding
your weight issues.
Your self-esteem will be evaluated and fortified
as necessary to achieve a positive outlook towards your ability
to attain your perfect, desired body structure, at the appropriate
weight. Finally, greater self-esteem will help you remove
any potential beliefs that excessive food does something positive
for you.
It should be kept in mind that at Positive
Changes Hypnosis we believe the healthiest and most permanent
weight reduction takes place in a gradual fashion. Weight
should and will come off at a rate of about 1-3 pounds per
week on average. It has been scientifically proven that not
only is slow and steady weight loss more healthy, it is also
more permanent.
At Positive Changes Hypnosis, we recognize
that each person is unique. We therefore offer the most comprehensive
programs tailored to your specific needs. To offer you any
reinforcement you may need, every session you have with the
hypnotist will be tape recorded live for you to enjoy at home.
All that we require of you is for you to come in on a regular
basis to enjoy your sessions.
Through different processes, we will also
teach you how to be self-reliant so that once you get to your
goal you will be confident, independent, and in control so
that you no longer need us or a maintenance program.
You should also know that there are only
positive side effects to hypnosis, and many of our clients
report increased motivation, greater relaxation, and greater
satisfaction with their lives as a whole. Look and feel the
way you've always wanted - naturally and effortlessly
