              Have You Fallen Off Your Diet and Can’t Get Up?

All of us who have tried to lose weight know that all too often our mind and body conspires against us.  Thinking about food consumes you, and just when you think you’ve got it licked, your body decides to make a midnight booty call on your fridge.

               Can You Measure Stress, Frustration and Upset in Waisted Inches?

Recent scientific studies confirm these twisted evolutionary plots against us.  Your body carries ancient lessons of scarcity and tries to possess every single calorie forever until your waist, arms, thighs and butt look like something out of “American Hoarders”.
And your brain conserves energy just like your body.  It has triggered this habit so many times, thinking no longer happens, you just do it. Science has shown that the moment that habit is triggered, you “eat that first potato chip”, parts of your brain actually slow down and turn offs, returning control only when that habit is done, the bag is empty.

Yet despite all the challenges.

                                You Can Change!
 

• If You’re Fed Up with Trying to Stuff Donuts in the Hole Inside You

Researchers are consistently documenting the power of the mind to influence and affect the body.  Meditation, trance, hypnosis and proper coaching can help create behavioral changes. 

Hypnosis creates trance.  A natural state like daydreaming.

_WK 01 - What do You Want & What’s Getting in Your Way

• Define your Goals & Issues
• Learn Who or What is Sitting at the Table with You
• Explore Love & Hunger and the Pain of Emotional Eating

Too often we focus on all the things we don’t want vs. what we truly want.  Or we get overwhelmed trying to make big changes all at once.  Let’s take some time to be clear about what we want to achieve and develop some simple plans that work at a pace and speed that makes sense for you and your unique life.  In addition, we’ll take a look at some of the experiences that had held you back before, and begin to change them now.

_WK 02 - Shedding Old Limitations & Trying on Some Motivation  

• Get Off the Memory-Go-Round.  Embrace Your Future
• The Gumby Principles or I’m Rubber & You’re Glue (Building Resilience)
• My Life: The Director’s Cut (frames - subtle and strong)
• Tame your Inner Glutton
• Turning On to Exercise. Eating Green is the new Black.

When we eat, it is usually about more then just filling our body, it is also about filling our emotional and psychological needs.  Most of our relationships with food, health and fitness have been established early in our lives. 

Over time different foods, eating habits and cooking attitudes have become ingrained.  Each choice has it’s own meanings for you  We eat not only because we are hungry, but for many reasons:  pleasure/pain, love/anger, boredom/upset, comfort/fuel. 

Our relationships, career, fitness routine, spirituality and self-care all intermingle with our health, well-being, fitness and the way we eat.

With Hypnosis+NLP:

• begin substituting satisfying and healthy food choices for unhealthy choices
• increase awareness of when you body really needs food and when some other issue is at play.
• release old meanings and beliefs about food/health and build new ones
• Make peace with your body

_WK 03 - Clearing Your Closet of Cravings, Addictions & Habit

• Too Many Tacos Tacked to the Tummy
• Have You Been Super-sized by Fast Food
• Do You Hear the Cake Calling
• Are You Jonesing for Sugar?, Sinning for Buns?
• Is Pizza #1 on Your Speed Dial

Are You Ready to:

• Stop Drowning in the Tears of Your Carbs
• Conquer Your Food Demons
• Relearn How to Eat

Retrain your brain.  Your mind, eye and nose have been deceived.  Scientists and researchers at major food corporations, restaurants and ad agencies continue to spend billions of dollars exploring ways to get you to eat more, buy more.  Restaurants entice you by piling heaping extra pounds of fat and food on your plate.  More than your body needs by far.

Your stomach is actually the size of your fist, and the amount of food you need to fill is much smaller than any super-sized meal.  You can leave those lies behind and create a truer and more honest communication between your mind and eye and stomach.  Relearn to eat and enjoy only what your body needs.  Take the rest home or leave it on your plate, whatever fits your needs. 

Leave behind the empty calories, the cheap promises of the next forkful of food, the empty calories that turn into fat and toxins.  You are better than that, you are worth more then that.

Create new relationships with food, health and life.  Learn new positive habits that help you achieve your goals.  Let the old you go and turn to embrace a new slimmer trimmer healthier you.

_WK 04 - Enjoying Exercise, Eating Healthy & Feeling Good
Turning Up Imagination & Sensation:

• Is Your Exercise Reaching for the Remote
• Are Your Exercise Stations - Fridge, Couch, Remote and Bathroom
• Is Touching Your Toes a Bigger Rush than Several Tequila Shots
• Are Your Marathons Measured by Pizza Crusts, Candy Wrappers and Empty Take-out Containers
• My StairMaster is a Subway Station and a MetroCard
• If God had Wanted Us to Jog, He would have given us Feet

• Broccoli Is Only Good Covered in Chocolate
• Water has Flavor

Imagine the possibility that a healthy salad might bring you more good feelings then a hot fudge sundae.  Healthy eating isn't have to be about deprivation, dragging along a bag of carrots or drinking some strange green concoction.  It’s not about taking away comfort, joy or support.  If it is, then it might be just a matter of time before you go back to familiar foods and habits. What works for one person may not work for you.
 
Using Hypnosis+NLP, we find the foods and ways of eating that are right for you, Bringing you those same positive qualities in a way that serves your goals and your future, not your past or your pain.
