LOSING WEIGHT WITH PCH

Why People Overeat

            Most people overeat to fulfill a need - real or imagined. Some people overeat to help deal with an unpleasant past. Others eat excessively to reward or entertain themselves. Some want to be noticed and may use a large body to offset a small ego. Eating can be used to compensate for lack of love, to offset fear, to overcome frustration, to deal with boredom, or sometimes even to avoid sex. Sometimes it dates back to childhood, when you may have been told many times to finish your plate of food and not to waste it.

            Helpful to the hypnotist are lists answering such questions as WHEN overeating usually takes place - what psychological or emotional activity is associated with excess eating, and at what usual time of day or night. WHERE the overeating is done is important - at home, at parties, in restaurants, while watching television, etc. And WHY (for what purpose or to satisfy what need) is also a factor in understanding the problem. Once we know the nature of your habits, we can give you the personalized attention needed to alter them to better suit what you want out of life.

No Diets, No Changing Foods, No Will Power

            We all know that the key to weight control is to ingest only as many calories as your body needs. But if this were as simple as it may sound, no one would be overweight! The reason so many people have trouble taking control of their bodies is that while their conscious mind knows what to do, their subconscious is struggling to operate on a different agenda. You can tell yourself you don't need to eat that last slice of cake all you want, but some part of you will still desire it.

            At Positive Changes Hypnosis, we operate on the belief that you cannot control your conscious desires if there is subconscious resistance. Hypnosis can make weight control possible where every other approach has failed because it does not depend upon willpower. Instead, it helps you change the way your subconscious mind works, bringing it into alignment with your conscious desires, so that slice of cake truly is the last thing on your mind.

            In this way, weight loss can become as easy - as natural - as weight gain seemed to be. You will be compelled to eat less, to eat smarter, and to exercise more - all without much effort. You will feel energized every day and develop skills and knowledge about yourself that you will use through the rest of your life.

            Changes in the mind lead to major changes in life.

Programming for Success

            Your hypnosis program will work in several different ways. We will help you modify your food interests and tastes to increase your desire for healthy foods and reduce your desire for foods high in fats and other harmful elements. In addition, we will give you the tools necessary to eliminate any other factors like stress or anxiety that may be compounding your weight issues.

            Your self-esteem will be evaluated and fortified as necessary to achieve a positive outlook towards your ability to attain your perfect, desired body structure, at the appropriate weight. Finally, greater self-esteem will help you remove any potential beliefs that excessive food does something positive for you.

            It should be kept in mind that at Positive Changes Hypnosis we believe the healthiest and most permanent weight reduction takes place in a gradual fashion. Weight should and will come off at a rate of about 1-3 pounds per week on average. It has been scientifically proven that not only is slow and steady weight loss more healthy, it is also more permanent.

            At Positive Changes Hypnosis, we recognize that each person is unique. We therefore offer the most comprehensive programs tailored to your specific needs. To offer you any reinforcement you may need, every session you have with the hypnotist will be tape recorded live for you to enjoy at home. All that we require of you is for you to come in on a regular basis to enjoy your sessions.

            Through different processes, we will also teach you how to be self-reliant so that once you get to your goal you will be confident, independent, and in control so that you no longer need us or a maintenance program.
