Hypnosis, for safe weight loss

Question by ret340: Hypnosis for weight loss, quitting smoking, making positive life changes??
Have you ever used hypnosis to help you acheive a goal? I’d like to try it for weight loss. Actually, I’d like to use it to help me “believe” I love working out and going to the gym. I’d also like it to make me believe I prefer healthy foods over my favorite junk foods.
Last but not least. If it works for getting fit I’d try it to quit smoking.
If you’ve ever tried hypnosis can you tell me how effective it was? Who performed the procedure? I’d love to hear your details and recommendations. Thanks!

Hypnosis is often times looked at as a fix-all without the work. By this I mean people hope that hypnosis can make them believe or do things that they would otherwise never do. This, however, is never the case! When one is hypnotised, they are suggestable, but will never do things they would normally never do. I have been hypnotised and I must say it is a very exciting experience, but it was not effective in helping me overcome my addiction. What is more effective for me is self-exploration through meditation. May I recommend respectfully that you consider other ways of finding motivation to work out and eat healthy! The only way you’ll lose weight through hypnosis is by having lighter pockets
