We Can identify what`s preventing you from Losing weight
It might be attachments we have to unhealthy foods. It might be emotional eating habits. Or it might be a fear of failure or a lack of motivation.
Then, after we’ve identified the roadblocks, we can delete the negative associations and develop positive associations with hypnosis. In fact, the research continues to show that hypnosis for weight loss works and that it benefits many people.
How Mental Blocks Prevent Us from Losing Weight
What are habit patterns?
Habit patterns are unconscious responses to stimuli or environment. They form through repetition and develop over our lifetimes.
Clara likely developed a habit pattern of stress eating which prevented her from reaching her weight loss goals. Food had become Clara’s unconscious, automatic response to stress.
These sorts of habits of mind are exactly why losing weight is such a challenge.
Deep in our unconscious minds we’ve developed strong ideas about unhealthy behaviors.
Over time, we may have trained the mind to believe that these unhealthy behaviors are essential to our well-being. And we might not even realize these habit patterns exist.
Once they become automatic, long-term change becomes very difficult.
Stress or emotional eating is just one example. There are many associations that negatively impact our relationship to food. Some common associations that prevent weight loss include:
Food is a comfort blanket; we use it to comfort ourselves in times of stress or sadness
Eating helps distract us from feelings of sadness, anxiety or anger
Overeating fatty, sugary or unhealthy foods is associated with celebrations and other good times.
Unhealthy or sugary foods are a reward.
Overeating helps you tamp the fear that you won’t be able to lose weight.
Food is a source of entertainment when bored.
Ultimately, you must address these root causes for long-term weight loss success. And that’s exactly what hypnosis can help us achieve.
Your Relationship with Food and Hypnosis
When you start a hypnosis for weight loss program, the first step is to identify why you aren’t achieving your goals.
How does this work? Typically, a hypnotherapist will ask you questions related to your personal health, e.g. eating habits, triggers, exercise.
This information helps identify what you might need help working on.
You’ll follow an induction, a process to relax the mind and body and enter into a state of hypnosis. While in hypnosis, your mind is highly suggestible. You shed your critical, conscious mind and the hypnotherapist can speak directly to your unconscious thoughts.
In hypnosis, the hypnotherapist will provide you with positive suggestions, affirmations and may ask you to visualize changes. Here’s an example of hypnosis for weight loss session:
Hypnosis and weight Loss: What You Can Work On
Some ways hypnosis can help you on your weight loss journey include:
Improving Confidence. Build your confidence and self-esteem.
Visualising Success. Visualize meeting your weight loss goals and the way it makes you feel.
Reframing Your Inner Voice. Tame an inner voice who “doesn’t want” to give up unhealthy foods.
Tapping the Unconscious. Identify the unconscious patterns that lead to unhealthy eating and grow your awareness of these automatic behaviours.
Fending Off Fear. Tame your fear of not achieving weight loss success. Fear is a No. 1 reasons people don’t start.
Identifying and Reframing Habit Patterns. Examine and explore ways you use eating, and “turn off” these automatic responses. Hypnosis helps to slow and/or eliminate these automatic responses.
Developing New Coping Mechanisms. Develop healthier ways to cope with stress, emotions and relationships. All of these can trigger overeating.
Rehearsing Healthy Eating. Rehearse making healthy eating choices, i.e. being OK with taking food home at a restaurant. This helps these healthy choices become more automatic and can prevent cravings.
Making Better Food Choices. Hypnosis can help you develop a taste or preference for healthier options, as well as influence portion size.
Increasing Unconscious Indicators. Through repetition, you may have learned to drown out the signals your body sends when you feel full. Hypnotherapy helps you become more aware of these indicators.
Of course, not every suggestion will apply to you. Your hypnotherapy plan – whether you’re working with a hypnotherapist or using a hypnosis app – will include suggestions relevant to your relationship with food or help you stay motivated.
