Have you ever embarked on a diet, lost weight, only to see those pounds creep back? You're not alone. Many of us have faced the frustrating cycle of weight loss and regain, leaving us to wonder: why doesn't it stick?

In this video, the first in a short series, I explain that the root of many failed attempts at change lies not in our lack of discipline but in a deeper, more personal place - our self-image and self-love.

Effective change doesn't stem from disliking oneself but from a profound love for who you are, motivating you to make positive changes. Our perceived flaws - whether it's being 'too fat', 'too bald', or dealing with impatience or anxiety - are often magnified by our belief that others judge us for these traits. So, we judge ourselves and while momentarily we might be highly motivated to change, long term change requires the sustained motivation of believing in and loving ourselves.

This is where clinical hypnosis comes into play. It's not about changing your appearance to fit an external ideal but about transforming from the inside out. Attempting to change for external validation, like going to the gym solely to be liked, misses the point. True transformation happens when you love yourself enough to want the best life for yourself.

If you've ever felt stuck in a cycle of self-improvement that feels more like self-punishment, my short video might resonate with you.
