Once you master self-hypnosis and get into a good pattern of daily use of the CDs and your personal hypnotic suggestions, you should see fairly steady progress toward your goal weight. This presumes, of course, that you’ve also made whatever adjustments were needed to the food you eat and your activity level. Beware of creeping complacency, however. After you’ve seen some results, you may be tempted to slack off a bit, to revert to some old behaviors. If you start to notice ideas like that inching into your thoughts, it’s time to review your CDs, especially the Weight Control, Emotion Trigger and Stress Buster Tracks, and pick some stronger suggestions to work with, such as:

• I enjoy the progress I am making and keep my final goal in sight
• I am encouraged by my progress and maintain my commitment to
  create a healthier life
• I am diligent about following my eating and exercise plan.

More often than not, if clients are honest, these desires to slip off the program occur because they were not following it faithfully. The great thing is, the more you master self-hypnosis, the less self-discipline you need to muster. And if you stick with it long enough, all of this does become automaticI promise! In this chapter well look at various challenges you may encounter as you stay the course toward the new youand of course well study the solutions, too. This chapter is key to your long term success, so get out your highlighter!
