More Musings About Weight Loss

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.  TRUE!  But I have some more words to say about this as well.  I’m still thinking about weight and body image and self esteem and confidence and health and how hypnosis can improve all those things.  Unrecognizably so, in some cases.  Hypnosis works.  Fantastically well.  On so many things.  But…especially, weight loss.  That’s a topic dear to my heart.  And hips.  And chin (singular nowadays).

I’ve been having a slew of weight loss clients lately.  And, you know, I LOVE THAT!  Love it.  They’re not waiting until the first of the year and New Year’s Resolutions, they’re moving forward on what they want.  NOW!  I love that.  When you’re ready, you’re ready.  Are any of you out there ready to change your life?  You can, you know.  And it’s not magic, and it’s not voo doo and it’s also not horrifically difficult–it’s simply you doing what you want.  Do you want to lose weight?  I can help.  My tools can help.  Those tools are hypnosis and NLP Neuro-Linguistic Programming ™.

I often get together with groups of hypnotists, at trainings and at professional meetings.  I’m not mentioning any names, but you know, there are some seriously obese hypnotists out there selling weight loss services.  In my book, that’s incongruent.  They aren’t “walking the talk.”  I am.  I do.  I wouldn’t go to a chain smoking hypnotist to quit tobacco, either.

If you want serious, passionate, compassionate (I’ve been there, believe it!), dedicated, KNOWLEDGABLE, successful help with this issue, I’m your hypnotist.  I know fat.  I know all about it.  A lifetime of knowing.  Until I learned something else.  Not fat.  I can teach you not fat.  Come learn with me!  :)
 
Wishing you health and success this holiday season,

Cleaning out the closets

The topic is weight loss!  Mine, in particular.  See, I’ve been using my own tools, hypnosis and NLP to work on my own “stuff.”  Lifelong stuff.  And…I’m happy to report:  it’s working!  Going great!  :)   I’m now officially half my former size.  I’m not going to say the NUMBERS because it’s not primarily about the numbers, in my mind.  In fact, I don’t even weigh myself.  It’s about how I feel.  How I look.  Energy!  Vitality!  Life!  Those things are improving every day.

Thus, time to clean out the closets.  I went through my clothes closet the other day, trying things on that I haven’t looked at since last winter, to see if my favorite coats and sweaters were something to keep or donate.  Most were “donate!”  Some of them looked like clown suits on me, so large.  I thought about keeping one, as a reminder, but no–off they go!  I said “goodbye” (literally and out loud) to several garments that I had particularly loved.  My brown suede blazer.  Goodbye!  My black wool “peacoat.”  Goodbye!  A favorite embroidered and beaded sweater which was hanging long on me like a dress.  Goodbye!

Letting go is good.  Letting go of things that are no longer needed or useful.  Like the extra weight.  Goodbye!

Gird yourself.  :)   Now, the sales pitch!!  :)   I love helping people with this issue of weight.  Because I know all about it.  I understand it.  I’m living it!  I’ve been dealing with it all my life.  And now, I know first hand how powerful and successful the tools of hypnosis and NLP are in managing it, by quickly changing patterns and habits, changing thoughts, changing feelings, streamlining change in such natural, healthy ways that lets you feel good about yourself, your life, and your capabilities.  I love it!  Absolutely.

If you’re struggling with this issue, and have “tried everything,”  (by the way, “try” = failure.) then perhaps it’s time to stop trying and start doing.  Hypnosis is a fantastic way of doing change!  It’s not “talk therapy,” it’s action therapy.  If you’re serious about getting yourself on that right path, the one you want and deserve, I can help.  Call me!  All my contact info is here:

This is what I do, and I’m damn good at it!

Now, I’m going to put myself out there and show a “fat picture” to the world.  Here’s a pic of me from a few years ago, pre-hypnosis, and here’s me a few days ago, trying on my “pirate vixen” Halloween costume.  :)   As they say, the camera don’t lie!
