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.

[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 […]
Continue readingWeight Loss Progress (when there is none)
How do you keep believing that all the effort will pay off 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 the promise you gave to yourself? That you keep going? […]

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 […]
Continue readingDead 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 […]
Continue readingWhen 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 […]
Continue reading“I crave it, so my body needs it!” Yes?…uhm.nope.
“Some foods maintain life, but don’t sustain health, therefore don’t sustain life.” In hypnosis for weight loss sometimes we deal with addictions to unhealthy foods that make weight loss super hard. It is possible that you crave something that your body REALLY NEEDS. But before you put it in your mouth check: Is it real […]
Continue readingA 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 […]

(video) 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 […]
Continue readingWeight 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 […]

How many times did you decide not to order the french fries, or the dessert, 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 your lack of willpower. The disappointment MAY help motivate […]

-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 […]
Continue readingWeight 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 […]
Continue readingHow 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. […]
Continue readingWhat 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. […]
