I have helped clients to lose weight and helped others overcome lifelong eating disorders.
Have you tried to lose weight and failed? I wonder how many times you have tried and, either not lost any weight, or maybe lost some weight and then before too long put it all back on again. Is there something in your unconscious mind that stops you making the changes to your weight that you want to?
Now it should be easy, just follow the rules of the diet and you will lose weight. But something happens, for many people it is like a part of them over rules what they want to do (diet) and they continue with the old behaviour. Some people feel they are depriving themselves of something they deserve and sabotage their own weight loss efforts.
I believe that the key to you losing weight lays within your belief system. Our beliefs are often like bananas, they hang around in bunches. Sometimes hidden beliefs have a limiting effect on your behaviour and responses to situations. Let me give an example.
Do you believe that diets have really worked for you in the past? It may be that you have tried different diets before and they have all failed or had only limited success. Your brain or more specifically your mind remembers all these previous experiences and learnings. The curious thing is that we do not always consciously remember everything that we have learnt but we have learnt it and it can form a hidden belief. Do you remember learning to walk? Most of us don’t but we can walk and have a belief that we can. So if you have learnt that your previous diets don’t work and your mind has gathered, without your awareness, evidence that these previous diets have not worked why will your next diet be any different?
What causes you to be overweight; processed food, what you eat, what you believe, how you were raised, genes /metabolism? These are all beliefs or rather limiting beliefs about losing weight. Now where the belief in being overweight lies, then so does the solution.
Now the beliefs that you may hold about losing weight can manifest themselves across five broad areas. There can be beliefs that:
“I don’t deserve to be slim”
A belief about identity!
“I must eat everything on my plate”
A belief about values!
“I should just accept the fact I will never lose weight”
A belief about capabilities and identity!
“I don’t have the will power to diet, I can’t say no to chocolate/chips etc”
A belief about behaviour
“I can’t diet after all I have to put food on the table for everyone else”
A belief about your environment!
Now these examples above are just that, examples, and there can be any number of beliefs mixed up together affecting any one or more of these levels.
So given that beliefs have so much hidden control over our feelings, emotions and behaviours, it can have profound and lasting positive effect when negative or limiting beliefs are changed at a deep unconscious level. This is the key to successfully releasing the weight that you want to.
Hypnotic Gastric Band
Hypnotic gastric bands are very popular at the moment and I know that many people achieve the success they want with a hypnotic gastric band, though I am unsure for how long. My own view as a practising clinical hypnotherapist is that whilst hypnotic gastric bands can have positive effects the process does not always deal with any beliefs that the person has that may be getting in the way. There is also no long term study of the lasting effects of hypnotic gastric bands. I do know that if you change a limiting belief for a positive one the change is positive and this will have far wider implications than losing weight,and importantly it is permanent.
So let me help you discover what has been affecting or limiting your ability to lose weight in the past. Once we have changed these limiting beliefs you will have no need for fancy diets. Your own mind will have made the changes that it needs to to support your goal to release weight.
