Ask Roger: Can I combine stop smoking with weight loss?

Combine stop smoking with weight loss

This week’s Ask Roger email comes from Chris in Kearney, Nebraska, who asks, ” Can I combine stop smoking with weight loss?”

“Hi Roger,

I’ve smoked for over 30 years. I’ve tried a number of times to quit and each time the only result I had is that I gained more weight. Last year I quit for almost two months and I gained 25 pounds. I now have about 100 pounds to lose.

I want to quit smoking but I feel that I am doomed. I’m tired of being a slave to cigarettes but I have never been successful when I have quit previously. And, I am terrified that I will gain more weight.

Is it possible with hypnosis to quit smoking and lose weight at the same time? Please let me know if there is hope for me and if you can do it online.

Thank you,

Chris

Kearney, NE”

Stop smoking and lose weight

Chris and I have met online for his stop smoking/weight loss consultation and he is scheduled for his first session.

I assured Chris that he can successfully stop smoking and lose weight with my smoking cessation and weight loss protocols.

I shared with Chris that I have tried several different approaches over the past 20 years for combining stop smoking and weight loss.

What I have discovered is that the best approach is to have the first session to be stop smoking.

Next, we focus the following sessions on weight loss with reinforcement for living your life as a non-smoker.

This approach has allowed many people around the world to live their life as a slender former smoker.

I teach all my client’s self-hypnosis and other mindfulness stress reduction techniques so that you have the tools you need to live a life of health and happiness.

If you want to quit smoking and or lose weight, or if you have other health challenges, give me a call at 206-903-1232 or send me an email to Roger@HypnosisHealthInfo.com.

We can meet here in the Medical Dental Building in downtown Seattle, or in my office on Bainbridge Island or online from wherever you are.
