Quote From: ritehere I had tried all kinds of diets, all kinds of exercise routines for many years. I knew which ones worked for me and would enable me to lose the weight I wanted and needed to lose. I just couldn't stick to them long enough, the old willpower mentality. Then I found a weight loss hypnotherapy class and signed up for it. Through hypnosis I "revisited" what exercise was like as a child-PLAYING. Since the first session 2 1/2 years ago, I exercise regularly, and it's fun. I know not everyone can afford to do this, or even believes that it can work for them, but it definitely worked for me. It immediately gave me new inner dialogue to replace the tapes I had been using when I would snack or binge, and it put me in touch with my true inner voice. After the sessions, I tackled SELF MATTERS to help me understand where all my faulty thinking came from and how to get past it. But for the immediate jolt to get up and get moving, I can't say enough about hypnosis.
I actually don't need hypnosis. I'm a visualist and if I can see it in my mind, I have done it. Doing even a mediation works well with me. I used Dr. Lawlis' cd's on weight loss and it really helped me thru some hard times. But I need to break out of this BLAH feeling. Ever other day, I walk my dogs, go to the gym on 1 non-walking day, and do yardwork when the weather is okay.
Exercise is a great blah release. I guess I'm using the wrong word. It's like I know that I have to stop sitting on the couch but moving is just something I'm not used to. If I could afford to go to a professional therapist, I would go gladly.
I was just wondering if anyone else had felt this way and had made it thru it. I go thru it periodically - I've done so many different things to pull myself out. I was just wondering if there was an easier way to do it.
