How do you maintain your ideal weight?

So exactly how do you maintain your ideal weight? I’m often asked how I’ve maintained my healthy weight for the past 19 years. Thanks to hypnosis for weight loss it’s actually been pretty easy. I’ll acknowledge that much of my working hours are spent coaching others and teaching weight loss hypnosis, so I’m admittedly immersed in weight loss hypnotic suggestions more than most. But I do keep in touch with many of the Slender For Life™ weight loss hypnosis clients who have since 1990 lost weight and keep it off. Every single person that I am in touch with who are maintaining their ideal weight tell me at they use self-hypnosis several times a day, every day.The other thing that I hear is that maintenance is a time for taking both credit and responsibility for the changes you made. You too can stop the yo-yo diet madness and obtain and maintain your healthy ideal weight with hypnosis for weight loss. Give yourself the credit is this week’s reading from Becoming Slender For Life.

Give yourself the credit

So exactly how do you maintain your ideal weight? All too often, the goal is to reach a certain number on the scale without regard for what comes next. Some people reach their goal and then go celebrate with a food binge! For those who have been overweight most of their lives, they have no concept of what life will be like now that they’ve attained their ideal weight.

Maintenance is taking all the work that went into achieving your goal and then building on that. Regression occurs when you go back to an earlier phase of your change process. Deciding to stop overeating is not enough to overcome it for good. You see, all negative habits become our friends—even, in many cases, our lovers. They play important, sometimes dominating, roles in our lives. It’s really easy to slip back into old habits and not even realize it until the clothes no longer fit.

I am continuously astounded at how many people find success difficult to accept, and their tendency is to attribute their success to others—God, a spouse, or even to me as their guide. By not accepting responsibility and credit for liberating yourself, you undermine your self-confidence, your self-esteem and your commitment. If you think others are responsible for your success, how can you maintain it yourself? Maintenance is not a time for criticizing yourself for having had weight problems. Instead, it’s a time for taking both credit and responsibility for the changes you made.

Rosalie has released over 50 pounds and in the process has found a whole new outlook on life. “The combination of hypnosis and exercise has given me an edge which I never had before. To be able to stop thinking about a diet and just think about healthy eating and regular exercise as “what I do” is truly a blessing. This program works so well that I forgot I was on a program.”
