Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and come to the realization, “Gee, I need to lose some weight”? Well you wouldn’t be the first, and you also wouldn’t be the first if you started a weight loss program that very day, only to have completely given up on it just a few days later. There’s a very simple reason for this, most people don’t go into weight loss programs in the right frame of mind to make it succeed. How do you get into this right frame of mind? Hypnosis!

Hypnotherapy (the use of hypnosis for therapeutic means) has shown a great deal of success in helping people lose weight, and unlike most methods it actually results in long-term weight loss. It’s of no use to lose 10lbs over three months if you put it back on again soon after. Hypnosis works where other methods fail because it connects with the subconscious mind and places suggestions that work towards to achieve your goal, in this case weight loss.

At this point you may be thinking, “I can’t afford to hire a hypnotherapist!”, and in this current economy that is more than understandable. Fortunately the internet has brought forth an entirely new genus of hypnotherapy, the hypnosis download. You can now purchase a couple of hypnosis downloads, one focusing on weight loss and the other on exercise motivation and listen to them at your convenience. The beauty of this is that you only have to make a one time payment, and on most sites you can get this sort of package for around .

ypnosis is all about. It’s giving people the power to positively change their life in anyway they wish.
When it comes to losing weight positive thinking really is what it’s all about. So as well as the regular use of hypnosis downloads there are a few simple tips I have for you that help keep you in that positive frame of mind.

Weigh Yourself Once A Week – And only once a week! Choose a day and time and only weigh yourself then. While it’s tempting to monitor your weight loss extremely regularly it’s actually counter-productive. Your weight fluctuates throughout the day and speaking from personal experience I’ve seen my weight fluctuate by 6lbs, and I weigh around 150lbs. When some people see a fluctuation like this they think they’re gaining weight and that they’ve failed the weight loss program when in actuality it’s something that happens to everyone.

Take Measurements – I’ve dealt with people who’ve been unhappy with the slow progress of their weight loss who have not even realised how much better they’ve looked just by dropping a few pounds. Good places to measure are the stomach, chest and thighs. Because exercise tones and strengthens muscle some people don’t lose as much weight as they originally wished by they lose many inches from around the stomach, chest and thighs because they’ve burned fat and replaced it with lean muscle. You can co-ordinate measuring with your weighing.

Write Out Weight Loss Goals – And put them somewhere you’ll see them everyday. Split a piece of paper in two and have a section for daily goals and long-term goals. Your daily goals might be “Do 30 minutes of exercise” and “Eat 5 portions of fruit and vegetables”, these are relatively easy goals to achieve and as you tick them off each day you will feel successful. They will also help you achieve your long-term goals which might be “Lose _lbs this year” or “Get down to a size _ dress”.

This sort of positive thinking and motivation will carry you through and make your goal of weight loss a complete success. One weight loss tip that isn’t so much to do with mindset but well worth mentioning is that you should take a good quality multivitamin once a day. This gets your body working at maximum efficiency and also greatly reduces cravings for food. Many people eat too much because their body is crying out for proper nutrients but the food they are eating isn’t supplying them with these. So they eat, and eat, and eat, not getting the nutrients they need but getting the excess calories.

You now have all the information you need to make your weight loss program a total success. Don’t believe me? Take the first step and get yourself a weight loss hypnosis download and just watch as the pounds begin to melt away.
