What you need to know BEFORE you start ANY diet or weight loss program!

If you’ve had a history of yoyo dieting or losing the weight only to gain it right back plus more, you may feel frustrated not just with diets, but with yourself. You may even feel afraid to try another program because you don’t want it to be one more failed program.

And who wants to go through that old cycle of setting a weight loss goal, falling off the wagon and then falling into self criticism, blame and defeat all over again?

Ugg! I don’t want you to do that either. So, before you start any diet or weight loss program, there are some important things to shift right from the beginning. Follow these 3 steps on this page.

    1. Watch the video ‘Stop Dieting: Why Weight Loss Goals Set Us Up to FAIL’
    2. Reframe Failure: Recognize how to End the Struggle
    3. Watch the video ‘Will Hypnosis Work for Me?’

WATCH this video WHY Diets Set Us Up to Fail and What You Can Do Instead. 

I want to emphasize this: There is no Failure – there is only Results. Are you getting the results you are looking for?

If you’re not getting the results you want, it’s time to adjust your approach.

Healthy and LASTING weight loss is like piecing together the right pieces of a puzzle.  It’s not about a diet, a fad or starving yourself, it’s about getting the right pieces in place, finding the healthy habits that you can live with and addressing the interference that gets in your way.

If you’ve tried weight loss before with mixed results, we can fall into the trap of thinking you failed. Thinking you’ve failed takes us down a road of defeatism which steals our motivation and focus.

Rather than thinking of the past programs as ‘failure’ think of finding your healthy weight like learning to ride a bicycle.

If you give a 6 year old child a bicycle, how many chances does she (or he) get to learn to ride a bicycle?

As many as it takes.

And if she falls off the bicycle, would you say that she has failed?

No, she is learning.  Even when she falls off the bicycle it is still the process of learning and figuring it out.

And in falling off the bicycle the brain learns about muscle movement, coordination and balance so the next time she gets on the bicycle, she’s even more prepared to be more successful.

In fact, she becomes more and more capable with each try.

So don’t give up – don’t give into the old ideas of ‘failure’ and defeat. You are still learning about what works for you  – and what doesn’t work for you. Diets don’t work for you – or anybody really.

It’s not that you failed a diet – it’s that diets don’t work – the diets have failed you!

Most diets are short focused, 30 days here or 6 months there. Most diets are not meant to be followed longterm and thats where people run into the yoyo diet cycle. Diet for awhile- lose weight- feel accomplished- stop dieting – and then the weight comes back!

Why? Because people are not changing their lifestyle and they go back to old habits.

If you want to be truly successful, its about creating a lifestyle you can live with.

Recognize that healthy weight loss and maintaining your healthy body is this process of getting the right pieces in place and figuring it out. And with the added understanding of your BRAIN, learning HOW to change habits, cravings and self sabotage – you’ll be even more prepared to be successful.

So as you move forward, recognize what works for you. And if something isn’t working, it’s giving you important information about what you need to know or address so you can find that EASY balance of your mind and body.

As you pay attention to what works for you…and what doesn’t – you can figure out the pieces of your puzzle. And also recognize that this time is different because you as you learn new things, gain new insights and adopt new strategies at the BRAIN level, you’ll find it easier and easier to create your healthy lifestyle in a way that really works for you.

Everyone is different and we can all have different underlying reasons for weight gain. The pieces of the puzzle you need may not be the same as the next person. It’s not one size fits all approach. That being said, here are the key patterns, the REAL reasons we gain weight:

  • Old Habits
  • Stress Patterns
  • Cravings
  • Mental Blocks
  • Self Sabotage

Fortunately, all of these patterns can be changed with the right skills, namely Brain Training and Hypnosis.

The reasons these things are so hard to change is that they are wired into the brain and running AUTOMATICALLY. They are ingrained into the Unconscious Mind.

Watch the Video: Will Hypnosis Work for You?

There are some myths to hypnosis because of what people see on the stage. But therapeutic hypnosis – we don’t want to confuse the mind or blank out or lose control….we are looking for the place where your conscious mind can work with your automatic mind. When both the conscious and unconscious or automatic mind are on board – well life gets easier.

And your healthy, slender body gets easier too.

The most important pieces of the puzzle you are looking for –  are in your BRAIN!

When we understand what the mind is running AUTOMATICALLY in the background, we can identify and change each of the pieces – you learn more about how you operate and you can find your healthy, slender body.

Myths of Hypnosis:

Will I blank out and not remember the session? No, you’ll be aware and awake the whole session.

In therapeutic hypnosis we are looking for the place where the conscious mind and automatic mind can work together. It can feel very similar to meditation or if you’ve ever missed a freeway exit. Also, I record the sessions so you have a way to tune up your mind after the session and get it back on track.

What does it feel like? It feels deeply relaxing. 

In therapeutic hypnosis, we simply use relaxation and focus techniques, getting the mind and body to relax. It feels deeply relaxing and comfortable. Plus it has the added bonus of deep stress relief. Stress is a key factor with weight gain – so we can help the body release stress, feel better and find an easier balance.
