Why Can’t I Keep the Weight Off?
Posted on July 16, 2008
As a hypnotherapist I have watched people struggle to lose weight following diet after diet only to fail. Not only do they not lose weight or gain what they lose back they harm their self esteem. Feeling like a failure they want to give up but society tells them they must try again or be called fat or even worse obese.
People come to hypnotherapy usually as a last resort. They try pills, shakes, exercise, and surgery and still can't get the weight to stay off. When they get to hypnotherapy they are totally frustrated and exasperated. They feel lost and a failure. What they don't realize is that the real problem is within.
No it is not a lack of will power. Many people try very hard to use their will power. They need to know that the will power is controlled by the consciousness. The consciousness is not in control. The subconscious is in control. The subconscious is in charge of most of the things we do. It controls most of our bodily functions, heart pumping, breathing, hunger, sleep and much more.
But before we get to change our eating we need to look at what may be in the subconscious that is triggering us to eat uncontrollably.
Let me tell you a little story. Lisa is a cute blond haired five year old girl playing outside on her swing as happy as could be. Johnny the 8 year old living next door is rather rambunctious. He comes into Lisa's yard and demands she get off the swing so he can get on. She refuses. Johnny roughly pushes her off into the dirt. She begins to cry and goes into the house looking for mommy and comfort. Mommy carefully cleans off a scraped knee and takes her into the kitchen. She tells Lisa, "When you get big no one will push you around and hurt you. Have some cookies and you will feel better." Lisa takes mommies words to heart. After all mommy is the most important person in the world to her and she believes her. What she may not realize is that a trigger may have just been placed in the subconscious. When I get big no one will hurt me. Eat food and feel better. This may be the interpretation that subconsciously causes her to eat whenever she is hurt and needs to feel better. The more she eats the bigger she gets and the desire to feel better is strong.
Unfortunately this trigger to eat is buried deep in the subconscious and cannot be erased by will power or normal consciousness. It has to be modified from within a hypnotic state. Hypnotherapy uses various techniques to get to this trigger to modify it and bring them into context with your life today. When this is done you will automatically change how you view food. I did this with one of my clients and did not see her for about 6 weeks. When I saw her she was ecstatic about the change that was occurring. She said she took the same amount of food on her plate but when she was full she just stopped eating and gave the rest to her dog. She kidded that her dog was now gaining weight. She had already gone from a size 36 to a size 28 and did not even have to think about dieting to do it. She was losing about 3 pounds per week.
Diets fail because people do not reach the real motivators driving them to eat. Yes, it is about eating right and exercise, but eliminating the overeating triggers and changing emotional issues breaks the real barrier to success.
