Eating Control
Emotional Roadblock 2: Inner Control
Many of my clients have read all of the books and know it all about diets and nutrition. Been there, done
that. And yet, they still have failed to keep it off. The fact that they know all of this information and
can't apply it does real damage to a person's belief system about their own ability for discipline and self control
for weight loss success.
Some of them have tried and failed so many times that they just feel that they don't have the strength to go
through one more failure and give up before they even start. This area of the mind and emotions needs to be
addressed right at the outset of any weight loss program or system. Yes, you can easily get real excited during an
initial consultation but the realities soon sink in once you leave the building.
I understand that and get right to the heart of that with my clients when this surfaces. Some folks have been
programmed from childhood with such words as:
"Don't get too excited because you don't want to be disappointed"
or
"Maybe you should prepare yourself for the inevitable failure"
These beliefs go way deep and need to be cleaned out right where they began...at the unconscious level.
The way to being in control for weight loss is through self-hypnosis. This is the process by which we are in
communication with our inner mind. It's learning to be in control of the trance we are already in! Yes, you read
that right. You already know how to do trance and hypnosis, albeit for negative outcomes.
Imagine if you were to get this message to sink into your inner or unconscious mind:
"I am in control of what I eat, how much I eat, and ultimately my weight,"
You would have an excellent chance of learning to control your behavior because your unconscious mind would then
send up the signals of positive emotion when you do things to support that..in other words, when you make a healthy
choice, you would FEEL GREAT!
Hypnosis is: directing your unconscious mind instead of your unconscious mind
directing you.
