Weight Maintenance-Relapse Prevention - Part II

The American media and fashion industry promotes and reflects mainstream cultural standards for women's body shape and size. This is a culturally molded image dictating the importance of beauty being ultra thin and other symbols of love, prestige, happiness and success for women.

Many women have adapted these idealized images with highly predictable side affects. These prolonged assaults to our self-esteem find many women coping by living with the on-going burden of compulsive eating/cravings and binge eating. The results of these habits often manifest as a low grade to moderate depression, nagging health problems and being chronically vigilant over healthy body weight.

Have you lost touch with who you truly are, and what you are deeply hungry for? Is the 'food as a quick fix' syndrome taking over?

-Is it time to think about filling up the yearning of your hungry heart with a different choice?

-Is it time to choose to focus on self-love, to breathe deep, seek peace, to nourish yourself from the inside out?

-Is it time to re-new your commitment; revive your intention to maintain your healthy body weight?

Many women all socio-economic and edicational levels of life are reinforcing healthy habits to remain on purpose and stay on course. Whatever you repetitively focus on that is what you achieve.

The best way to determine your ideal weight range is to use a body mass index (BMI) calculator. It measures your body fat based on height and weight.

BMI Categories:

• Underweight = less than 18.5

• Normal weight = 18.5-24.9

• Overweight = 25-29.9

• Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

If you are unable to get on track within a few weeks, consider professional help. Seeking professional help is not a sign of weakness or inability, it is a matter of giving yourself the assistance you deserve.

Learn how cutting the cords to emotional eating through hypnosis will relieve you from these ties as well as release the weight. By tuning into yourself, you will discover why you eat and learn how to release your attachment to unhealthy foods and unhealthy eating habits.

With Hypnotherapy, you allow your subconscious mind to release, resolve and heal weight issues. It's not about only the food; it's about eating behaviors we've learned in childhood that dictate the way we deal with our life and stuff our emotions with food. We eat when we're , anxious, nervous, bored, stressed, hyperactive, sad, lonely, frustrated, afraid, even when we're happy.
