and day to day life is beginning to return to normal. The seemingly endless celebrations began many weeks ago with Thanksgiving feasts at home with family, loved ones and friends. Invitations galore filled our calendars with parties and dinners and festive celebratory events as we merrily ate and drank our way into and beyond the New Year.

As the holiday season comes to an end it is often time for personal reflection. Your New Year’s resolution may once again be vowing to gain control over your eating behavior and finally lose weight. You may be unhappy with your image in the mirror but still not able to find the ability to end the sabotaging, out of control behavior preventing you from losing that excess weight. It may feel difficult or even impossible to find the willpower needed to begin and follow a healthy eating plan to lose weight. Many people feel totally out of control. Cravings, emotional eating, portion sizes and unhealthy behaviors often get the best of us. We give in and fail again and again. The sabotaging behavior continues day after day despite recognizing what you need to do to make a positive change.


Gain Control & Lose Weight Like most people, you probably know what to do to lose the


weight. You may have the best of intentions to stop eating those sweets or starchy carbs and really begin that “diet” on Monday! We all know diets don’t really work. You know the right foods to eat…but something usually stops you from following through with the plan. Your motivation and willpower suddenly disappear! Some- times it feels as though there is a good angel and bad angel on your shoulder and the bad angel is winning! Cravings, emotional eating, portion sizes and out of control behaviors often get the best of us… we give in and then we give up. There is good news for those who want to combat obesity, gain control and lose weight. Hypnosis is an easy, natural, relaxing and successful solution to lose weight without dieting.

ell, it’s that special time of the year again when we contemplate the year past as well as the approaching future days and months ahead. The holidays are over


Hypnosis may be the solution for those in search of a natu-


ral and healthy method to lose their potentially unhealthy excess weight without the high cost, risks and side effects of invasive surgery. According to the data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer, some of the leading causes of preventable death” with estimated annual medi- cal costs of $147 billion in 2008. Facts and findings indicate that reducing obesity (BMI of 30+) indicate, “even a modest weight loss, such as 5 to 10% of your total body weight, is likely to produce health benefits, such as improvement in blood pressure, blood cholesterol and blood sugars.”


Think Yourself Thin Imagine being able to end the weight loss sabotage and


almost think yourself thin simply by closing your eyes and relaxing while listening to soft music and perhaps the gentle sound of ocean waves as a trained Hypnotist guides you into a beautiful, calming state of tranquility. With practically no effort at all you drift into a natural, dreamy, drowsy state of peaceful relaxation while your subconscious mind accepts the positive suggestions for the healthy changes you want to make. It may sound too good to be true, but hypnosis works.


Hypnosis can naturally finally end the old sabotaging


behavior and help your mind work for you instead of against you. Hypnosis has the ability to help you regain your willpower to eat consciously and healthfully so you can finally lose weight… without deprivation…without dieting.


What is Hypnosis? It is a well-established fact that hypnosis, also known as


therapeutic hypnosis, can be used as an effective tool for every- thing from weight loss and smoking cessation, behavior modifica- tion, success and motivation, healing and even pain control. Many other problems such as fears, phobias, pain, insomnia, poor study, memory or learning habits and self-esteem issues are commonly helped using hypnosis.
