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. You don’t question it. If you […]

When you gained some weight back…

$me in san fracisco$

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 […]

Do you have these 4 superpowers to lose weight?

If you have ever attempted to lose weight, you probably felt that you need some superpowers to pull it off. And few more to maintain the weight. What are the superpowers? Patience, courage, belief, determination. Simply, character strengths we CAN DEVELOP. No, they are not reserved for other, special people. You have access to them, […]

Weight Loss Kindness

Self-care doesn’t come natural. Self-kindness needs to be learned. By default we use self-judgement. Even after listening to Pema Chodron for hours, “self-kindness” still sounds too soft to me. I don’t associate it with achieving goals… People who know me can say how hard I can be on myself – and maybe you know from […]

Strong will not necessary [weight loss wellness]

How many times did you decide not to order the french fries, or the dessert, and the drinks, and you end up having it all? How often do you wonder why in the world did you eat so much? AGAIN? You may feel disappointed with yourself, disappointed with the lack of having a strong will. […]

Can hypnosis help with weight loss?

-So if I eat all the pastries and you hypnotize me, maybe I won’t gain weight, hahaha! – my friend laughed. -No – I replied – of course you still need to eat healthy food -So… how does it work, then?!? It’s not magic, my friends!!!! : ) And it’s actually a good thing. Can […]

Weight Loss Empowerment

Empowerment: a sense of being in control. Having proof that our efforts matter and create change. Also: unconditional acceptance of yourself. Having your own back. When you are unhappy with your body, you may imagine that when you finally lose all the excess weight – you will feel empowered and better about yourself. That may […]

How to end emotional eating?

One of the ways of winning with emotional eating [EE] is to take the emotions out of eating. Separate the two. Like a pea from a pod… How do we do it? Here are two examples from my own life. And just be aware – I’m not doing it every time I want to eat. […]

What happens when You End Emotional Eating

What’s emotional eating [EE]? Eating when you are not physically hungry; to feel calm when anxious, entertained when bored, and comforted when lonely. And what’s wrong with that? I think you would agree – nobody wants to stop EE because who wants discomfort and denying themselves this instant heavenly sensation that comfort food can give. […]

Step 1 towards your Dream: Believe you can have it [video]

If you have any questions about my crazy hair in the video: in a hot humid city and no AC! 😀 I want to share with you what may happen in a hypnosis / coaching session. Recently I started working with someone on weight loss. And […]

Do we talk Nutrition in Hypnosis for Weight Loss?

So you decided to lose those last few, or 20 pounds… Time passes by, perhaps you tried willpower, deprivation and sweating in classes you don’t enjoy. Maybe you are in a bad mood eating all the “healthy” food that you can’t wait to leave behind, when you reach the ideal weight. Then you will go […]
