Lose Weight for the Last Time
By Jessica Bergkvist
You can cut calories and lose weight. It is simple math...you take in less calories than your body burns and that equals weight loss. Add exercise and the results are even better. So why does it seem so hard to lose weight and keep it off? Why is it that the diet industry brings in BILLIONS of dollars per year, and about 95% is repeat business?
Answer: Diets simply don't work. If they did, you would never have to diet again. Sensible eating habits and exercise DO work, so why doesn't everyone who wants to lose weight just eat right and exercise?
The answer to that question may be found in how you think. When you picture your body, what do you see? Do you see a naturally thin person who is getting better everyday? Or do you see "fat?" When you think of your body, what thoughts come up most often? Do you think more thoughts of having the healthy, lean body you want, or do you think mostly of what you don't want?
Your body cannot do anything without your brain telling it what to do. What the mind sees and thinks, the body tends to follow. If you constantly think about and picture yourself being "fat," then your body automatically does what it is told, so chances are that you will have a difficult time losing weight and keeping it off. If you train yourself to think of and imagine yourself the way you want to be, chances are that your body will follow those directions and help you to create new habits that will allow you to lose weight and keep it off.
If you want to lose weight and you imagine yourself as fit, lean, and healthy, it helps to subconsciously and automatically motivate you toward that goal. If you imagine yourself as fat, you actually become motivated toward exactly what you do not want.
So just how do you change what may be a lifetime of "fat thinking?" First, it takes awareness and practice. Awareness of your thoughts and then practicing replacing them with new, healthier thoughts. Sounds easy enough, right? Not always. The subconscious (or unconscious) mind contains these "programs" of old thinking and behaviors...and remember, these took years to create, so simply trying to think different thoughts may not be enough to create the change you want.
Using hypnosis, you can communicate directly with the subconscious mind and "reprogram" old thinking and behaviors into new, permanent, positive thoughts, images, and actions that will help you lose the weight and keep it off for good.
