Weekly Support Group for Attaining Weight Mastery

     
 

Set your mind for weight loss and improve your ability to gain control over your weight with hypnotherapy.

  • Have you tried to stick to a diet only to lose motivation?
  • Do you want to lose weight but can’t find the willpower?
  • Is your diet frequently undermined by friendly saboteurs?
  • Have you lost weight only to gain it all back again?

Unfortunately, there is no magic pill for losing weight. Eating right and regular exercise is the mind-numbing mantra of most fitness gurus. But what if it could be easier? What if you could find the consistent support and reinforcement you need to stay on a weight loss program? What if you were able to shift your attitude about diets and could find a way to keep your spirits up and stay motivated even after the first month!

Help is on the way! As a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist I was trained by three accredited Hypnotherapy schools* on weight loss. I have compiled the best techniques from each program in my Attaining Weight Mastery Program. Based on my program I have put together a weekly support group. This is a 12 week program that will support and reinforce your weight loss goals. It will also provide you with tools and resources that will sustain your motivation over the long term making your weight mastery program easier to stick to.

Research has shown that weight challenges are impacted by many factors which can include stress, low self-esteem, a feeling of powerlessness over food, and eating as a reward or for consolation. Other factors impacting weight include: lack of peer support, a resistance to exercise, lack of good nutrition skills, a sluggish metabolism and unhealthy eating patterns.

In this program you will be given information and tools in each of these areas. There will be guest presentations by a weight loss nutritionist and an exercise and fitness expert. You will also meet peers who will become your weight mastery support system. Having a buddy who can support you during the difficult times has proven to be an effective weight loss resource. Most importantly, each session will be reinforced with a targeted hypnotic trance induction on the weekly topic.

This is a unique weight mastery program based on proven techniques that will provide tools, resources, weekly reinforcement with hypnotic inductions, and a support group, all at a great price! Next support group will start in the Fall, 2005. Date and time to be announced. Contact Joy immediately if interested as space will be limited to 6 participants!
