A lot of people remain skeptical about the solutions that hypnosis can offer. They know that hypnotherapists claim that their techniques can help you deal with issues like quitting smoking and losing weight but they still can't quite accept that it could work for them.
This skepticism is generally based on the fact that people realize how hard it can be to do stuff like lose weight and quit smoking. It can be particularly hard to lose weight as it's all too easy to fall into the yo-yo diet trap. Here you try out a new diet and lose the weight you need - then, you stop the diet and relax and the weight just comes back. Before you know it you'll be back to square one....
But, with hypnosis this doesn't need to happen. Many people find it hard to lose weight simply because they view food in the wrong way. They may, for example, view sweet and fatty foods as desirable because they were rewarded with these kinds of foods when they were young and behaved well. Or, they may associate the short rush you get with certain foods with feeling good so they reach for candy when they feel low or stressed.
Hypnosis can simply help you re-program the way your brain feels about food. It can stop your cravings for the wrong food types and introduce cravings for healthy food instead. It can give you the confidence to stick with a healthy eating and exercise plan and it can help you manage the issues you may have with the food you eat.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating - although maybe we should say in the not eating! Take a look at the following examples of how weight loss hypnosis has worked for people just like you....
Karen H. - Karen lost 33lb with Valerie Dawson's program. In her own words: "The hypnosis allowed me to let go of my old reasons for eating and helped me listen to my appetite."
Mike C. - Mike lost 84lb and finally found a solution to his weight loss issues. He says: "I have been overweight for most of my adult life. I had tried virtually every diet program out there without lasting success over the past 40 years. I can say without hesitation that the hypnosis program with Valerie works."
Sandy N. - Sandy lost 25lb in just 9 weeks. She wasn't sure whether hypnosis would work but soon changed her mind when she saw the results - "I wasn't sure about this whole hypnosis thing in the beginning. But now I'm a believer."
Fran M. - Fran lost 30lbs and saw her basic ideas about food change radically - "I found myself reaching for an apple for a snack instead of candy. I think about food in a totally different way now."
Kelsey M. - Kelsey lost 50lb in just 5 months. She found that hypnosis gave her a far more effective solution than fad diets - "I had struggled all my life with my weight problem and had tried every diet out there with no success. The hypnosis has helped me to reprogram the way I think about food and to change my eating habits."
