Maximising Your Weight Management Sessions

Supporting Your Sessions with Action

Movement and Activity:

• Find physical activities you genuinely enjoy

Addressing Common Challenges

Working with Weight Loss Resistance

If Progress Seems Slow:

Addressing Self-Sabotage:

Long-Term Weight Maintenance

After Reaching Goals:

Combining Sessions with Professional Support

With Medical Supervision:

• Use sessions to support medical recommendations

With Nutritional Guidance:

• Sessions complement professional dietary advice
• Use hypnosis to implement nutritionist’s recommendations
• Build motivation and consistency for healthy eating plans
• Address emotional aspects that professional dieting doesn’t cover

Special Considerations

For Significant Weight Loss:

• Be patient with the process - sustainable change takes time
• Focus on lifestyle transformation rather than quick fixes
• Address body image issues as weight changes
• Consider professional support for loose skin or body adaptation

For Maintenance:

• Use sessions to prevent regaining weight
• Continue healthy lifestyle practices developed during weight loss
• Address stress or life changes that might trigger old patterns
• Maintain positive self-image and confidence

Remember, successful weight management isn’t about perfect eating or extreme restriction. It’s about developing a healthy, balanced relationship with food, movement, and your body.

Your personalised sessions work to create lasting change from the inside out, building the motivation, preferences, and self-image that support long-term success. Trust the process, be patient with yourself, and celebrate the positive changes in your health and wellbeing.

The goal is not just losing weight, but gaining confidence, energy, and a lifestyle that supports your optimal health and happiness.
