It’s not about your lack of willpower

It’s not about willpower. It really isn’t… It’s about your awareness of what you do or don’t do. It’s about your ability to change the state of mind. About knowing what, when, and why to eat. Knowing how to plan. It’s really hard: to use willpower when you don’t know what to eat. when you […]

Normal vs. Natural [weight loss thinking]

When we treat our weight loss process as something temporary, like a diet, we look forward to return to “normal eating”, once we reach the desired weight. When we look at our weight loss process as a return to wellness, we learn what’s natural for the body, we learn a new, natural way of eating […]

Case Study #1. 25 pounds in 5 hypnosis sessions

Results vary for every person. I wanted to share a success story of one of my clients. I always expect changes and improvements but sometimes those changes exceed even my expectations. This client have been consistently and significantly losing weight after every session. I asked her: how did you do it? Not all people have […]

When you want it all, give your all [weight loss clarity]

(video below.) Sometimes we commit just partially to a goal. It’s not conscious. We may not realize how much effort it really takes to get there. But somewhere along the way we need to look at the results we are getting. Are we closer? Are we moving ahead? If we don’t like our results there […]

When do people hire a weight loss coach? [video]

Everyone’s story is unique. Everyone has a different story to tell when they arrive at the point when:“This (excess fat) has to go. I’m the real me when I’m thinner. I am ready to prove I can accomplish that.” I have been thinking about every person that coached so far with me… at what point […]

Can’t break up with sugar? Important: change your THOUGHTS

Eliminating flour and sugar is hard in itself but we are making it even harder. When you start the weight loss process you will likely hear that you need to eliminate SF. Or at least drastically reduce. It. And you may have an opinion, a thought about it . you may have an emotional reaction to it. And yet if we want the results – F+S has to go. It’s just one of these things that we do.

How I got over my sugar addiction w/o any special tools [video]

[personal story] In 2018 I got over my sugar addiction on my own. It took a long time. At that time I didn’t have any special tools. Fast forward to March 2020 (covid panxiety) baked a cake and got on the downward spiral of emotional / addicted eating. (ok it wasn’t a spiral – it […]

Weight Loss Progress (when there is none)

How do you keep believing that all the effort makes sense? When you don’t receive the weekly reward: a lower number on the scale… When there seems to be no progress, how do you keep going? What if progress and success meant that you keep doing what you promised yourself to do. Day in, day out. […]

In the middle of feeling “deprived” [weight loss wellness]

Let me walk you thru what’s often going on in my mind. And maybe you can relate a bit. When you feel deprived or restricted. If you are not trying to lose weight or you are not trying to support your body functions by choosing the right food – this post may be useless to […]

Dead end thoughts: “I don’t want to feel deprived”

Are you stopping yourself from committing to your weight loss process, because you don’t want to feel deprived? I call it a “dead end thought.” You think “I don’t want to feel deprived” and it ends here. An obstacle have been thrown on your path, by your own mind and you don’t question it. If […]

When you gained some weight back…

Everything was going so well. You were losing it: pound after pound… week after week. You got near your ideal weight. And then. You sort-of-fell-off-the-wagon. There was so much going on. Stress? You ate the bad food. There was nothing going on. Boredom. So you ate the bad food. And one day you weigh yourself […]

“I crave it, so my body needs it!” Yes?…uhm.nope.

In hypnosis for weight loss sometimes we deal with addictions to unhealthy foods that make weight loss impossible. We get used to food. But we get addicted to addictive foods, created for the purpose of making us buy more (and making us fat) It is possible that you crave something that your body REALLY NEEDS. […]

A THOUGHT that will nip in the bud overspending and overeating

Many years ago I started using this THOUGHT, when I tried to change my shopping habits. And then sugar eating habits. As a Capricorn, I love material things, I think they can make us happy, they can bring joy (…until they don’t). So this THOUGHT doesn’t imply we never buy anything again! But a little […]
