Hypnotize the Pounds Away: Weight Loss Motivation Through Hypnosis

Many individuals these days, male or female, young or old, are struggling with weight management. Concerns with rising cases obesity are no longer based upon a Hollywood conception of what is the appropriate body size. Instead of doctors wanting their patients to be "thinner", they want them to be healthier. The patients, however, are not necessarily discerning the difference.

What Has This Lead To?

Both women and men alike are becoming hooked on yo-yo diets. What is a yo-yo diet? Yo-yo dieting describes the process of going on a diet, losing a few pounds and then going off the diet. When the pounds come back, the dieter then begins another diet and the process continues. Repetitive weight loss and gain is hard on the body, especially the heart and of course, it is hard on the emotional state of the dieter as well.

In addition to this, many dieters are using unhealthy methods of losing weight. Many take dieting pills which are often just glorified caffeine pills claiming to be the miracle cure for obesity. Then, there are those who dive into the "fad diets". Whether it is the cabbage or grapefruit diets, many of these do not give individuals the nutrition they need to live healthily. In addition, low carb diets such as atkins often create abnormally high levels of protein in the body for the liver to digest. After all, man cannot live on meat and cheese alone.

What To Do?

Sometimes, good old diet and exercise is just not enough. Maybe its the genes. Maybe it is behavioral choices that we make everyday without realizing how they are undermining our health. So how do we change these behaviors? One method is through weight loss motivation hypnosis. You may have visions of a creepy soul dangling a pocket watch in front of your face and your eyes beginning to spin. However, this is not what hypnosis is.

The goal of hypnosis is to access the subconscious mind. Under normal circumstances, you control your conscious level of thought while your subconscious takes care of the automatic stuff, like tying your shoes or starting the dishwasher, things that do not require conscious thought. Still, your subconscious is like the driving force that works with our conscious brain to control our actions. Sleeping is the time when consciousness is put on the back burner and the subconscious mind can take control.

hypnotism works on relaxing the conscious level of the mind. Although your conscious mind is subdued and the subconscious mind is allowed the front seat, you are still knowledgeable about what is going on. You and your hypnotist will work to "reprogram" the subconscious side of you. If chocolate, for example, is your weakness, your hypnotist may associate chocolate with nausea so that thinking of chocolate makes you feel nauseous.

The Super Bowl 2005-2006: Iron Men and Girlie Men

did you watch the super Bowl? I slept through the third quarter because there is switch in this old mans body that turns to OFF and there is nothing in Gods Universe that can take it off automatic. So I sleep for part of all football games. I just can't get that switch set to halftime.

I also miss part of each game because I read while Im watching the game. If not reading, Im doing a logic puzzle. If not reading or doing a puzzle, Im out in the kitchen brewing something up. So I never see all of a football game. not even the super Bowl, the football game of all football games.

Despite my inattention, yesterdays football game was to my liking. Too often the super Bowl turn into a rout. But this was a match of endurance and strength and the Steelers pulled off a great victory.

seattle should hold their heads high. They played great and they lost like men. They had some bad luck too. They actually lost by inches if you analyze some of the caught passes that didnt count as receptions.

I live in the Northwest. seattle is the preference up in these parts. In fact my son and his family live in seattle. But we lived in Pittsburgh too. So, who ever won was okay for us. But Im glad that Pittsburgh won because I think that the Pittsburgh coach is a fine family man that does not mouth filthy words to his players when they make a mistake.

He said that he wanted to win the game for that old fellow you saw hoisting the trophy before it was awarded to him. Seeing the coach hugging his daughters and kissing his wife was just grand. What a day! Well, I like Seattle's coach too. Two fine men.

At halftime we had to watch the Rolling Stones. They may be of the species that Arnold Schwarzenegger, the weight lifter and Hollywood actor turned california state governor, calls "girly-men." What the hell were they doing on that football field? Well maybe some of their gyrations could be used by running backs.
