Why Can’t I Lose Weight?

You’ve tried and tried to lose weight and just haven’t been able too..
Does that sound familiar?
Well I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you that you’re not alone. The weight loss industry is one of the largest in the world, full of people that struggle constantly to have the body they dream of – or something close to it.

Ever felt like you had a mental block, a lack of will power or you have a body that just doesn’t respond the way it should?

Well, you’re right to a degree, but not because of anything you are doing wrong or because your body isn’t working correctly. Your body is working perfectly, it’s simply responding to the programming your brain created way back when you were a child as a means of protecting you.
And there is a very effective way of unravelling the old programming and reprogramming your brain with new, powerful, motivating and positive beliefs so that those blocks disappear, its called hypnosis!

Can Hypnosis Help Me Lose Weight?

For millions of people the answer has been yes.
And Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), which uses hypnosis to access the subconscious mind and the programming that makes over eating a very difficult habit to break is having rapid and lasting results. It also uses other tools like Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychotherapy to get to the root causes, which are usually traumatic or dis-empowering experiences in childhood. Those experiences are explored from the adults perspective, then re-framed, from there, the old emotional charge it no longer active. The impact those experiences once had on the client, that caused, among other things, weight gain, dissipates.

It’s not uncommon that clients come for sessions around entirely different issues such as anxiety, depression, phobia’s, addictions and more, to find that once the other problem was addressed, their weight would fall away too.

The link between stress and weight gain isn’t anything new, but trying to change long practised habits of emotional eating, without changing the emotional issue is akin to replacing a light-bulb to resolve darkness when the disconnected power source is the issue.

Over the last 30 years of practising Rapid Transformational Therapy for weight loss, Marisa Peer has identified six types of over eaters, most of which will have emotional traumas from their childhood. Those childhood traumas were interpreted as ‘I’m not good enough‘I’m not lovable’ or ‘I need to hide, to stay safe, unseen or undesirable.’

Those negative interpretations by the brain, whose desire is to keep you happy and safe, surface in different ways, and will often eventuate in weight gain – either in childhood or later on in life. Whatever the child-brain implemented as an appropriate way to protect itself, doesn’t end when the child enters adulthood. The brain is still in protection mode. It doesn’t interpret time, it doesn’t make judgement calls, it’s much like the programs that run your computer, they do as they have been installed to do and continue to do so until someone or something stops them. Therefore, if your brain has been running a program to keep you hidden, undesirable or to protect and comfort you from feeling not good enough, it will keep on running the program until it is stopped and reprogrammed.

Over time poor eating patterns are well and truly established and no matter how hard you try to break those patterns, you will end up giving up and often gaining even more weight as your brain tries even harder to protect you.

The flow and balance between the two parts of your mind, your conscious thinking mind and your sub conscious habitual mind, are out of alignment. Within 6 weeks of most determined attempts to lose weight you will have returned to your old patterns unless you’ve done some reprogramming at a subconscious level. As you will hear in the video below, 98% of diets fail because your programming will win through.

Implementing less restrictive ways to improve your health and show your body you love it include

Small steps built into your routine as a long term change can send positive messages to your subconscious that you do love your body and value your health. Those small changes can boost you with a sense of well being when you communicate to your brain regularly that you are making positive changes because you love and/or value yourself (many people are uncomfortable to say they love themselves, if that applies to you, find a positive term you do feel comfortable with like I value or I care enough about my body and health). Below are some ways to start changing how you can make those changes, start out with one or two changes, then when you feel comfortable, introduce more.

  • Having a sugar day, a day where you can eat a sugar treat or two if you fancy it without feeling guilty.
  • Replacing sugary and diet drinks with water, doing this gradually can help, maybe start out with only having one or two sugary drinks a day, then reduce to zero.
  • Increasing your intake of healthy foods even if you find it hard to remove some of the unhealthy foods, more fruit, more greens and vegetables, pulses etc.
  • Eating things like avocado’s, oily fish and nuts more regularly
  • Have fruit and honey when you fancy something sweet.
  • Find fun ways to bring activity into your life, like Zumba, or dancing at home.

In the video below, Marisa explain’s how and why these changes make it easier on you when you decide it’s time to work on improving your health.

Marisa Peer Has Identified six types of over eaters

Addictive –
Sugar is addictive, they say its more addictive than heroin so is it any wonder so many people crave sugary food, junk food, fizzy drinks and refined carbohydrates? You are addicted to the chemical composition of these foods.

Emotional –
You use food to fill the void of loneliness, food becomes a distraction, refined carbohydrates fill you and give you a feeling of satisfaction, a sedative effect that for a while brings comfort. Depressed people often turn to caffeine and sugary foods.

Habitual –
Were you made to eat everything on your plate as a child? You have been conditioned by habits formed as a child and now, you struggle, you’re habits requires you to eat at every occasion and eat everything in front of you without being aware of whether you are hungry or not, does that sound familiar?

Ignorant –
Do you eat ‘healthy’ food but struggle with weight? You may well be a victim of brainwashing by the food industry. There are those that want you to believe that what you are eating is healthy for you, yet it has tons of hidden calories and is far from healthy. You probably choose diet foods and drinks thinking they are sugar free but still have a weight problem or buy lots of healthy looking processed foods that are far from it. Home cooked foods that have grown and not been manufactured are always the best option.

Destructive 
Often has deep-rooted issues around you looking attractive or being desirable, you may find you need to hide your sexuality and feel vulnerable when someone has shown interest in you. Part of you feels safe when you have created a buffer around yourself using food. You often have a need to control food and get panicky in a situation where food is shared. You can feel uncomfortable when you can’t dish out your own portions in case you don’t get enough to satisfy you.

Angry 
You will want to eat after a fight or disagreement to comfort yourself and will get satisfaction from crunchy food like crisps and apples or chewy, tough food like meat and thick bread. You will often consume large amounts of food without even realising it because you are consumed with anger. Stressed people often crave salty foods too.

Health Issues and Weight Gain

An increasing number of people are being diagnosed with Hashimotos and other diseases like Bipolar, Anxiety and Depression, which can contribute to sometimes uncontrollable and often seemingly explainable weight gain (prior to diagnosis).

Weight gain that you feel you can’t control is deeply disheartening. Hashimotos, Menopause, PCOS, Generalized anxiety disorder, Bipolar and Irritable bowel syndrome are among the main health issues that create weight gain, yet each of them have childhood distress or trauma at their core.

RTT has had many positive outcomes with these health issues, by regressing the client back to childhood traumas and the root cause of why their dis-ease surfaced, much more than weight gain is being addressed. Weight loss is frequently a welcomed side bonus to their transformation.

If you are struggling to lose weight and/or stick to a diet, unravelling the subconscious reasons behind weigh gain is fast becoming one of the least stressful and intrusive, as well as lasting ways to drop bad eating habits.

Please note.. Though RTT is having phenomenal results for many, there is no guarantee that it will work for everyone. Clients needs to really want to see great results and be willing to listen to a personalised hypnosis every day for 21 days.
One session is not always enough for long term weight or health issues but rarely will any client need more than three sessions.
