Hypnotism Helps Battle of the Bulge
It’s been a while since I last posted any details of my ongoing battle with my (previously) expanding waist line and lots has happened.
The first thing to report is that I have managed to shed around 10lbs since I embarked on my new weight-loss campaign back in September 2009. Before the Christmas holidays I’d managed to shed almost a stone (14lb) in weight but the festive period, combined with the recent snowy weather keeping me from getting outdoors for some much needed exercise, have resulted in a small amount of weight gain. But I am still enormously pleased with myself.
Christmas is a tough time when dieting. Too many tempting, tasty but fattening treats combined with cold weather and an inclination to indulge is a near fatal combination. I was lucky that Father Christmas brought me some new DJ equipment which acted as a distraction from the mince pies, Christmas cake and booze.
If you have read my previous posts you’ll know that myself and my DJ friend, Chemical Dave, met a hypnotherapist in a night club last year who offered to give me a free session that she promised would help with my weight loss objectives. Well Dave and I paid a visit to our new Harley Street Hypnotist friend and I have to report that it has worked for me.
I’ve always been skeptical about hypno-therapy and wondered if I would make a good subject. The session I had suggests that I am a good subject for hypnotism and that it works. Our therapist friend said that all she did was reinforce my own drive towards getting more exercise, eating healthily and steering clear of junk food. Since the session I’ve had no trouble resisting most temptations, even over the Christmas holidays.
So if you have been toying with the idea of trying hypnotism in your quest to lose weight and get into shape I’d strongly recommend that you give it a go.

My goal this year is to have lots of money but how can i have that money if im soooo lazy? Maybe i need that hypnotist’ help huh?

Yeah! Hypnotism seems to starting to be used more and more to help people achieve something or be able to quit some habit…i.e. smoking, etc…. and hey, walking is what i swear by to lose weight, I try and walk about 1 hour a day, briskly and it has made a huge difference for me. Good luck in your weight loss!

We try to walk our dog every day for exercise which helps keep the weight down. But it’s been kinda cold here this winter so can’t always go out for exercise. Hypnotism sounds pretty cool. I did try to get hypnotized once years ago to quit smoking but it did not work. Of course, I really did not want to quit smoking at that time. lol But I finally did quit 5 years ago. Possibly it wasn’t a good hypnotist. I may check into that again but try of course a different one for weight loss. Glad to hear it’s working for you. I wish you luck!
