Last month we talked about what 1 thing might be holding you back or keeping you from living your best life. For many, it can be those stubborn 10 – 15 pounds that you just can’t lose. You may have had great success with a weight management program, Weight Watchers, Lindora or any of the others out there but there are still those stubborn last few pounds.

Every year I help clients who had been very successful in losing a large amount of weight but found themselves stuck, making no further progress, as they entered the home stretch toward their final goal.

One client had a trip of a lifetime planned and wanted to be at her goal weight for purchasing clothes and supplies for the trip. Here is how she described her challenge in our initial session. “Through diets and exercising I have lost about 30 pounds over the past 10 months. I’m about 12 pounds away from my final goal but I’ve stopped making progress. I’m not gaining, but not losing, just bouncing between 145 and 142. I know that I have lost almost all the weight I set out to lose. I feel like I deserve a reward for that. Also, I’m having trouble accepting when I’m satisfied.”

After listening to her weight loss journey, we came up with a strategy – what specific actions could she take to get off those stubborn 12 pounds. She decided to decrease her caloric intake by reducing her portions. She already knew what to eat, she just needed to eat less of it. She increased her outdoor activity, not being near food makes it harder to snack. We then came up with a set of affirmations that could help her get across that finish line. Her first one? “I weigh 130 pounds.” We also included affirmations about moving more outside and eating less. It’s important to state clearly what your goals are. I gave her a copy of her hypnosis session so that she could listen to it for added motivation whenever she wanted.

After working together, those pounds came off and she was able to keep them off. She had a great trip and continues to successfully maintain her goal weight.

Hypnotherapy can help in the final stretch of weight loss.
