Can you lose weight with hypnotherapy?

The problem of overweight has become more critical than ever before. Current eating habits tend to put weight on, but at the same time, health and image consciousness demand that we be trim and fit.

Quite often with weight problems the pattern is familiar. You put on weight - you decide to lose it. You try all those diets that friends and popular magazines say are infallible, but if they work at all, the results are only short term. The weight creeps back on, and you eat more to console yourself. When the situation becomes desperate, you try another diet - and so it goes on.

Usually in situations like this, food and eating are filling a need that has nothing to do with physical hunger. To resolve the situation, it is necessary to identify this need, and this is where hypnosis can help. It allows you access to all those subconscious patterns that govern automatic responses - such as going to the fridge when you're upset! However with hypnosis, you have access to a range of resources perhaps never identified before, and it is usually possible to set up alternative patterns of behaviour to overcome the problem.

As well as clarifying the basis of most eating problems, hypnosis can help to change eating patterns. It is possible to reprogram yourself at a subconscious level to enjoy the food that will bring you closer to the goal image, and to lose interest in the "treats" that currently undermine you. So don't be hard on yourself for "lack of willpower". Use hypnosis to identify the subconscious willpower that is overriding its conscious counterpart.
