Wine, Women & Weight Loss(R)

 Hypnosis can help you cut back on drinking or stop entirely.              

Maybe you started out having a glass of wine with dinner occasionally, but now it's turning into a nightly habit, and you want to cut back. Or maybe you want to drink only when you're out socially, and then limit yourself to one or two. Or maybe you want to quit completely.

Many women are realizing that having a couple of glasses of wine at night is seriously interfering with their weight loss efforts, and keeping them from looking and feeling their best.

Alcohol is an appetite stimulant, and it releases inhibitions, so we not only eat more, but we make poor choices as well when we drink. Recent research published by Weight Watchers, Inc also showed that women tend to consume an extra 200 calories the day after they had something to drink.  Many women also report feeling tired and lethargic and headachy the next day.

Alcohol consumption has also been linked to an increase in liver, rectal and breast cancer.

In the Million Women Study, researchers in the United Kingdom found that middle-aged women who said they drank in moderation had a higher risk of liver, rectal, and breast cancer in the seven years after they completed the study's questionnaire compared to women who said they drank less than two drinks per week. (The researchers didn't compare drinkers to nondrinkers since some people stop consuming alcohol for health reasons or due to past problems with alcohol. The risks increased with consumption. See the CNN for more information. http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/02/24/women.cancer.drinking/

Hypnosis can help you to become a social drinker, drink in moderation or quit completely.

This is an issue that does respond well to hypnosis. Over the years I've successfully worked with hundreds of clients who felt they were drinking in excess and who felt it was time to stop before they developed a dependency. In fact, women who want to cut back on wine consumption is very common.

Basically, my program consists of addressing the underlying reasons why you're drinking, reducing the stress, worry and boredom that can lead to excessive drinking, and give you new tools to relax and unwind or comfort yourself. All the benefits of passing on alcohol/wine and staying sober for the most part will be reinforced. Powerful NLP techniques, creative visualizations, time progression and other tools are used for maximum results. In some cases aversion techniques are also used.

Just as with smoking and eating sweets, hypnosis can take away the desire for wine and alcohol, so that it's easier to just say no. Hypnosis can also help you to pace yourself, stop after just one or two, and reach for water or a non-alcoholic beverage instead.

“I want to be able to pace myself when I drink. I used to get so out of control at parties and events that I’d embarrass myself. Sometimes I’d meet a cute guy and there I’d be, slurring my words. Not very attractive. Hypnosis has helped me to pace myself and drink much less. I now have a glass of water between drinks, and it’s helped a lot! Thank you.”

"I was up to a bottle of wine a night, and I have a small toddler. I realized this had to stop. The best thing I ever did was to see you for hypnosis.  I feel like I'm reconnecting with my daughter and my relationship with my husband has improved. And I feel like exercising again and to be honest, living again."     Tanya H.

"I was shocked when you told me under trance that the amount of wine I was drinking every night was the equivilant of a milkshake. That did it for me! I would no more have a milkshake at night than I would a bucket of fried chicken. My days of drinking a bottle of wine every night with dinner are over, and I feel so much better. I still drink a glass or two when I'm out with friends, but that's it. What a difference this has made. I'm sleeping through the night now, and I used to wake up at least two times a night--and much, of course. The weight is coming off too. I'm embarrassed to tell you that I lost 5 pounds the first week of being sober all week. What's really funny is that I don't even miss the stuff. I wish I had done this years ago."                            Linda S.

“My drinking was starting to get out of control and was affecting my job and relationships. I usually binged on weekends and drank heavily during the week as well. My girlfriend said if I don’t quit she is going to break up with me.  Drinking heavily runs in my family, so I was a bit skeptical about whether or not this would work, but I knew a friend who used it to quit smoking and wanted to give it a try. After our first session, I went all day Saturday without a drink. Normally I would have started around noon. Finally at 11pm at night I said to myself “well, it is Saturday night. I could have one drink.” And so I poured myself one and drank only a few sips. I really didn’t even want any more of it. This is amazing.  It wasn’t like I had to argue with myself. I just didn’t want one.  This is the first time in years I’ve gone over a week without a drink. I feel like I’m getting my life back.  Now I want my brother to see you.”
