Why Hypnotherapy for Weight Loss Produces Lasting Results

by Adam Cumberland GHR MNLP

Losing weight is something that unfortunately does not come easy for some. Some people succeed in shedding those extra pounds, but after a while, lose control again and find themselves back where they started. But there are also some who give up suddenly in the middle of their programme because they feel that none of the dieting or the exercising is producing any positive results. 

What you must always remember is that weight loss begins with what you THINK and BELIEVE. The common belief is that dieting and exercising will ultimately result in weight loss. But why don’t they work for other people? There are three possible reasons why exercise, pills or diet programmes don’t work for you. 

One is emotional eating. So many people who aim to lose weight often carry negative emotions about the way they look. If they start on a diet or an exercise programme and they feel that it is not working, they get frustrated and it will then lead to more extreme reactions like hopelessness, insecurity or anger. With these emotions, they tend to binge or gorge on too much food, allowing the weight they lost to build up again. So no matter how much you exercise, if you binge on too much unnecessary food at the end of the day, then your workout will be useless. Another one is misconceptions. 

One of the typical reasons why diet programmes don’t work is because of the false ‘belief’ that the results of diets are permanent. Some people, once they have lost weight, tend to go back to their unhealthy habits. You must always remember that diets need continuous maintenance in order for the results to stay, thus nearly all diets fail to create lasting results.

Are You An Emotional Eater

I eat to make myself feel good, warm, or to avoid facing up to or dealing with a problem so I am your typical emotional eater.

If you identify with this then try this fascinating psychology site.  I have just completed the emotional eating questionnaire.

OK Let me be up front with you here....there are 149 questions and it requires ABSOLUTE HONESTY to get a decent result.

This was the short result I got at the end.

Snapshot Report

Health Locus of Control

100

You feel strongly that how you behave now can have an impact on your health in both the short and long-term. While your genes predetermine some aspects of health and some illnesses can strike randomly and without cause, you realize that many short-term and even long-term illnesses can be prevented. You don't consider yourself as a victim of your circumstances, and know that you can control your eating habits or the precursors that lead to emotional eating.

You can obtain the full report for $6.95 (about £4.50).

If you think this insight will assist you to lose weight it is not a huge amount to pay.

I have just looked at some of the rest of this site......... A M A Z I N G

ACCIDENT - PRONE (NESS) TEST
SENSITIVITY TO CRITICISM TEST
STORE MANAGER TEST
ARGUMENT STYLE TEST - you are going to be doing a lot of arguing with yourself whilst you are learning new eating behaviours so this could be verrrry helpful.

So......psychology today is worth a visit.  Never mind the tests, there are loads of articles, you are gonna be on this computer (on this site!) for a good couple of hours.
