Mindpower Makes Miracles

Weight Management

By Jennifer Scott, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist

"I couldn't stay away from the Hostess cupcakes. Suddenly at 40, I was 12 pounds overweight. I just didn't have the willpower to stop eating and exercise. But after just three sessions with Jennifer, if I found myself taking a bite of a cupcake, I had no desire to finish it. Suddenly, going to the gym was no longer torture. In 30 days, I was able to fit into my old jeans, and in 45 days, I was at my ideal weight. More than a year later, my jeans still fit. The best part is that it was easy!" Rob K., Phoenix, AZ

If you are overweight, you're more likely to develop these health problems:

Being overweight can also cause medical problems, such as sleep apnea (interrupted breathing during sleep) and osteoarthritis (wearing away of the joints).

The good news is that losing that weight not only has the obvious benefits we all know -- better appearance, longer life expectancy and vastly improved self-esteem -- it can also alleviate the harmful medical effects you have suffered from being overweight.

In fact, studies show that you can improve your health by losing as little as 10 or 20 pounds. I can help you get there, but you have to understand that the real problem is deep within your mind.

THE VICIOUS CYCLE

There is no issue more challenging and complex than Weight Management. Why? Because most overweight people don't overeat for nourishment. They do it for hidden reasons.

This may be why food is just a temporary fix for what is really bothering you. When you're stressed, it soothes and nourishes… but only for a little while.

When you see (or even think of) those brownies or chocolate chip cookies, you go primitive and want instant gratification. Then, afterwards, you feel guilty and lose your self-respect. Before you know it, you're in a vicious cycle of eating out-of-control again because you're already down in the dumps. Food has become your cure du jour.

THE ANSWER

Here's how to end this powerless destructive cycle. The first step towards your empowerment is understanding how the mind works and why your diets and Willpower have failed. The knowledge that follows is going to help you feel better about yourself!

HOW THE MIND WORKS

Even though we seem to have only one mind, we actually have two: an Outer Mind (Conscious) and an Inner Mind (Subconscious). And they function differently.

Think of them combined as a biocomputer. Your Conscious mind has been wired to reason things out, to search for solutions and to Try to make things happen using Willpower. You're probably most familiar with using this part of your mind.

Let's now use weight control as an example. You analyze your problem about being too heavy. You search to find a solution, reasoning to yourself "Maybe I'll go on a diet again… but I've done that before… I'll just gain back the weight." Or "Maybe I'll join a gym." So you work out a few times and desperately Try to eat less using Willpower. Notice how much effort you use without any positive results.

Why? Because your habitual patterns of behavior have been programmed into that other part of your mind - your Subconscious - and habits can only change on the Subconscious level. This is the part of your mind that gets so deeply engrained with habit that you go on automatic - like when you're driving your car, washing the dishes or eating without thinking.

WEIGHT CONTROL IS A HABIT AND HABITS CAN CHANGE

"I've lost 16 pounds at a moderate pace so I know they will stay off. I've tried EVERYTHING else -- every program and group -- and this is the very first totally painless method I've ever done. It's a miracle." Vicky J., Scottsdale, AZ

OVERCOME THE URGE TO OVEREAT

Now you can see that you're not overeating because your body needs more food. No, it's your Subconscious Mind controlling you because it thinks it needs comfort. And that comfort is spelled F-O-O-D. Your reason may be deep and hidden, or it may simply be a matter of changing habits.

"No more 'forbidden foods.' No more deprivation. No more holiday dread, pre- and post holiday clothes, complex calorie counting and balancing.

After dieting unsuccessfully for 43 years, I never thought that it could happen so painlessly. Working with Jennifer Scott helped make it all possible. Through her hypnosis, I quit dieting over a year ago and lost 40 pounds. It's still gone and I'm losing even more.

I've learned to cope with cravings, eat sensibly and live a healthy Lifestyle. Understand this and you're on your way to having the body you want. It's not the food." Rosemary M., Phoenix, AZ

In this process, it's most important to practice self hypnosis one or two times a day until you master my simple yet powerful techniques. There's a bonus to this process: you'll develop the ability to open up all of your senses so that you can clearly see and experience yourself as you want to be. This principle is powerful:

AS YOU SEE YOURSELF … SO YOU BECOME

Or - to put it another way - you can say "I want to lose weight" over and over again, but if you want to achieve results, your mental pictures must match your words.

BASIC BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION IDEAS

After you are able to easily experience a state of hypnosis, the basic suggestions for weight control are:

It is very, very important that you make yourself -- and this program -- a priority in your life.

If and when you want to take back the control you've lost… you absolutely can revitalize your spirit… and experience melting pounds off your body each week… until you are down to your ideal weight… looking like that fabulous person you've been picturing all through this entire process.

Once you learn how to partner and co-create with your Subconscious Mind, you'll find that losing weight is just the beginning of many future successes. Each victory makes the next victory easier. Don't wait. You're ready.
