Overweight Malaysians

It does not really affect only Malaysians but it happens globally - we are eating more, and we get fatter and fatter. Obesity is the magic word, when the rings around your stomach start to grow.

Gaining weight starts slowly, and it can only be realised when suddenly colleagues make "strange" remarks, the trousers that seemed to fit yesterday don't fit anymore today. It is easy to grow bigger and tough to get it down.

Governments are alert and there are companies (so far in the West only) that require a healthier lifestyle from their employees or else - pay more for your health insurance or check out of the company. In Malaysia, the number of overweight Malaysians is increasing, with more than 5.5 million on the list.

Is sheer diet possible? Even healthy?

Frequently not. Frequently, some kilos go down only to come back after you completed the diet. And then the fight starts again.

Why?

Easy - because often there is a gain behind the weight gain. I mentioned it before when I wrote about smoking and its relation to confidence.

With weight gain, it can be something else. May be somewhere in your youth, someone told you that you are cute and chubby. Others might have said that you are too thin, too skinny and that this is not great.

Commands that the subconscious mind picks up and follows.

This is called Secondary gains - you subconscious mind follows these orders and keeps those secondary gain with all means. It wants to protect and nurture you - even so your conscious mind rebels.

It is too late. Your sub-conscious mind is stirring you and preventing you from getting slim and skinny again, again, it wants to protect you.

Hypnotherapy is a very useful way to fight those extra pounds, but the task of the qualified hypnotherapist is to identify those secondary gains.

As this article simply states: "When used by a trained therapist, hypnosis can help you lose weight and keep it off. But be wary of any program that promises simple miracles." One therapist is quoted as saying that it is important even crucial to check on those secondary gains.

Check with me, if you have a question, or... want to lose weight! To be in real deep hypnosis is a wonderful feeling - you can go places, you have never been or wish you could go again. Check out this short script at Mind Changing Hypnosis, for what is a nice, short script relating to health and reaching your goals.

I'm not consider overweight but I always admire those skinny and perfect body. So I just went to one of the famous slimmming centre. Is not cheap. But I cant see any result after doing it. At the end of the day, the nutrionist told me that there another product from another brand which is more effective and no rebound effect. I pay a hell lot of money but at the end she told me that all the consultant's words is just a gimmick to the sales. What the heck!! Is this wat I get after see Christy Chung so many times in the ad on the tv!!
