"How to Train Your Brain for Weight Loss" by Dr. Scott Lewis
The fastest way to achieve any challenging goal (such as stopping smoking or losing weight) is to use the often overlooked power of your mind. In over 15 years of working with patients, seminar attendees, and in my own life, I've seen the remarkable results that a simple change in thinking can bring.
How else can you explain how someone who smoked three packs a day for 25 years was able to quit instantly after just one 30-minute hypnosis session? Or the 65-year-old woman who lost over 60 pounds (and has maintained this weight loss for more than five years) simply by listening to my special audio cassette before she went to sleep?
Experts say that the most important factor in changing any unwanted behavior is having a strong personal reason for wanting to change. We've all seen examples of what I call the "high school reunion/wedding" phenomenon" -- when people are able to change their eating habits and lose weight for an upcoming event that's important to them. Unfortunately, once the big day is over, most people regain the weight they've lost because they stop focusing on the benefits of looking slimmer and revert back to their old routines -- buttering their bread, ordering dessert, and eating big pieces of greasy, golden-brown, extra crispy chicken.
When we lose our focus, accomplishing our goals becomes more difficult. The secret is to find a reason (or reasons) compelling enough to keep you motivated all year long that won't "expire" with the passing of an event. Whether you want to lose weight, to look great in a swimsuit, to have more energy, or simply to be able to climb a flight of stairs without feeling winded, it's important to have a clear picture of the benefit you're seeking, and to keep this picture continually at the forefront of your mind.
Eleven years ago, I developed a special hypnotic technique to accomplish this purpose which has been highly effective in helping people create the type of mind set that leads to weight loss.
The method is a way of "training your brain" for weight loss because once you've identified your compelling reason, the process of continually reinforcing the exciting benefits of being slimmer will help shift your focus off food and onto new behaviors that will make obtaining your goal that much easier.
I, too, have experienced the frustration of trying to lose weight and keep it off. In fact, I created my hypnosis technique out of desperation to change my own life. Prior to developing the technique, I was almost 40 pounds overweight and was steadily gaining weight. I felt like a hypocrite as I had been advising patients about weight loss and couldn't control my own weight. It wasn't until I learned how to train my brain for weight loss that I was able to lose the excess weight (and keep it off several years later).
The true secret to losing weight is having a reliable way to keep focusing on why it's so important to you. You need to look inside yourself and identify a vision that will feed the fire inside you -- a vision so compelling that it gets you up at 6:30 in the morning ready for a walk around the block or helps you say no to a tempting piece of chocolate cake. Again, hypnosis is the most effective process I've found for doing this.
Rest assured - once you've trained your brain for weight loss your body will follow.
