Boost Your Weight Loss Willpower With Hypnosis

One of the first things we hear from our clients time and time again is that they have no willpower. They have tried to cut down on their snacking, their portions or the types of food they eat but no matter how much effort they make they end up reverting back to overeating. This cycle of trying to cut back on food and then overeating will have occurred many times in their life. No wonder if you have a problem like this you feel exhausted and feel that nothing can help. Yet in most cases the people we see will not have done everything they can to address the problem. In fact it is highly likely that the only thing they will have done is gone on repeated diets and frankly they just don’t work. Hardly any of our clients will have got to the root cause of the problem so this is where we come in.

Here are some of the reasons why hypnotherapy for motivation and weight loss can help:

Habit – In many cases there is no actual deep seated reason for the problem instead it is just a habit. I have just finished a session with one client who has a habit of eating a bag of maltesers at the end of her evening meal. I know and she knows that she is not hungry at this point and that she really doesn’t need them but a part of her looks forward to them every single evening. When we discussed why it turned out that in childhood her family would always have something sweet after a meal and so she has continued that habit. No wonder it feels wrong when she tries to resist as literally years and years of conditioning makes her want that chocolate. With some hypnosis and habit reversal training we should be able to get this to stop.

Sugar – Whilst we are on the subject of sugary foods many of my clients actually have an addiction to them. They eat something sweet to boost their energy levels and this sugar high lasts for a really short time. An hour or so later they are doing the same again until they are in a cycle of sugar highs and lows. Hypnosis for sugar addiction can help to reduce cravings and get you back into balance.

Associations from Past – Ever eaten a particular food and been instantly transported back in time through taste and smell. Perhaps an apple pie to you means comfort, love, caring and home. Now think about why you might want to eat apple pie when you have had a rubbish day at work. Your brain has simply learned that when you have this treat all the bad feelings start to reduce and you are given a food hug! The problem is that before you know it you are not doing this once in a while but every time things are not going your way. Hypnotherapy for motivation and weight loss looks at these associations and then helps you to break them.

Starvation – How many of you have gone on a diet and resolved to eat as little as you could? Surviving on starvation rations and going to bed with hunger pangs. This kind of extreme diet does not work simply because it makes you crave food more. Our brains start to become obsessed with the foods that we are missing until we crack and then eat ten times more than normal. This is why dieters often put on more weight than they originally lost after a diet has finished. Hypnosis helps to address this problem by getting you to eat normally again.

Emotional – Believe it or not many people overeat because they use food for comfort or to deal with a problem such as anxiety, anger, guilt or worry. In most cases they will not even recognise they are doing it because the patterns will have been set up in childhood. Hypnosis is a great way of finding out what the underlying emotion is so that the real problem can be addressed instead of using food for comfort.

Prioritisation – Of course sometimes it is a matter of priorities. In order to make change happen you have to choose to focus on the issue. Allow your mind to think about everything else and that is exactly what it will do. We want our clients to come to our Lincoln Hypnosis clinics fully ready to tackle their problem and to make it their focus. If you have twenty other things on your mind it is probably not the best time to start a life long weight loss and motivation problem.
