Hypnotic Scripts


Weight Reduction Session I

You have begun a positive approach to obtain the slim, healthy, attractive
body which you desire. I am going to give you some suggestions that will
make this a permanent change in your living. These suggestions are going
to take complete and thorough effect upon the deepest part of your
subconscious mind, sealing themselves in the deepest part of your
subconscious mind, so they will remain there forever, and become a
permanent part of every cell of your brain and body. You are going to be
surprised and amazed just how effective these suggestions are going to be
and how much they will become a part of your everyday life, giving you a
brand new pattern, brand new thoughts, a brand new method of action, to
make you an effective and successful person.


You will make use of a brand new method that you have never used before.
You have begun the first positive approach for obtaining a healthy,
attractive body which you desire. You have chosen hypnosis as a positive
means to attain this goal, because hypnosis is a great aid in permanently
changing your emotional reactions to food and eating. You realize that
hypnosis is a new positive approach -- a new positive approach to obtain
what you desire.


For the first time in your life you will really initiate a good positive
approach toward food and eating. As you initiate this good, positive
attitude toward food, enjoy food, like food, eat food. You will create a
permanent positive change in your eating habits. From now on, you will
prove to your own satisfaction that eating all you physiologically need
will entirely satisfy you; just like drinking all the water you need.
Instead of trying to kill your appetite, treating it as an enemy, you are
going to work within the framework of your inborn normal reflexes, making
a friend of your appetite, paying attention to it; for this is a good
thing. Slim people have appetites. They pay attention to them. Attractive
people have appetites. They pay attention to them. Hypnosis makes a friend
of your appetite, rather than an enemy.


In the past, you've been paying attention only to half the signal from
your appetite. Namely, the signal that says, "Eat. I'm hungry." But now
you are making a friend of your appetite. You listen to all of what your
friend's advice is. When it says "I'm hungry," you eat. When the hunger
feeling first disappears, and your appetite says, "I'm satisfied," you
stop. You stop long before you're full, because once you have this full
sensation, it means that you have grossly overeaten. You should never want
to feel full again.


You see you haven't really been paying attention to your appetite at all
because your eating has been driven by emotions rather than hunger. It is
always proper to eat when your appetite says,"I'm hungry." But you've been
eating when you've not been hungry. You've been eating out of habit when
your body had no physiological need for food. You've been eating to
satisfy psychological, emotional cravings. You haven't paid attention to
your appetite when it says "I'm done. I'm satisfied. Stop eating." You
haven't paid attention to it either. Your appetite doesn't need killing
off. On the contrary, it needs reinforcing. Hypnosis helps you make a
friend of your appetite. Pay attention to the advice of your new friend.
Tune in on your body sensations. If you eat too much against the advice of
your new friend, you'll violate your normal reflexes.


It's important that you should eat all you physiologically need to replace
your energy stores for immediate use and to store your body's sugar. You
must immediately ban any and all plans that you have for dieting. You will
do so. Otherwise, you bring into play an old instinct for
self-preservation. This can spoil all of the positive results that you
wish to gain from hypnosis. It is important that you develop the habit
now; that you're always going to eat all that you need. Under hypnosis,
you can reinforce the normal feedback mechanisms, the checks and balances
that tell you when you need food and when your appetite is satisfied.


However strong this hypnosis may be, it cannot overcome basic instincts
for survival. A most strong instinct is self-preservation. Surprisingly,
your great concern about being overweight leads to sporadic dieting. This
in turn suggests starvation. Starvation, in turn, demands defense. It
brings out the instinct of self-survival. This instinct is responsible for
maintaining your excess weight. Slim people eat all they want.


Slim people do well. Slim, attractive people say, "I eat all I want and I
don't gain an ounce."


Visualize yourself as this slim, attractive person; the slim, healthy,
attractive person that you soon will be. You soon will be saying the very
same thing. As you begin to talk and act like a slim, healthy, attractive
person, you will soon become one. Overweight is primarily not a dietary
problem, but an emotional problem. You must resolve right now to give up
dieting forever. You will form a habit pattern to eat all you need when
your body needs it. Paying attention to your appetite, trusting your own
reflexes, reinforcing the sensation, reflexes and feed-back patterns. This
is true even though you may lose very slowly at first. The excess fat will
be burned away in due time. You are going to be slim, healthy, and
attractive. You will feel wonderful in every way. The word diet and
dieting will be removed from your mind and all the plans you may have had
for dieting will be removed from your mind thoroughly. Dieting makes you
think of growing hungry and giving up food, which in turn starts the
anxiety about starvation which brings forth the instinct of
self-preservation. So you are through with dieting; through with dieting
forever.


Through hypnosis you will restore normal reflexes that will keep you
satisfied and bring into play that wonderful feeling of well-being. The
word diet is a negative word; it threatens you with denial of food and
death. Hypnosis is a positive word; it makes you relax, comfortable and
alive. Diets fail; hypnosis succeeds. Diet brings about starvation which
leads to overeating and obesity. Hypnosis brings about satisfaction which
leads to relaxation and brings about a slim, healthy, attractive body, a
relaxed mind and a satiated spirit. The old urge to diet is now completely
removed from your mind for now you realize that the real answer is in
restoring normal reflexes. You will concentrate on it, obeying every
suggestion I give you, for hypnosis is a positive approach. Hypnotic
suggestions which you receive will rapidly bring about a change which is
necessary to insure a permanently slim, healthy, attractive body, which
you so desire.


Each time you are tempted to eat or drink anything that you know is wrong
for you, you will say "no" and stick by it, because the rewards of
becoming slimmer are more important to you than eating the wrong foods.


The rewards of being slender, more desirable, sexier, are more important
to you than eating foods that you know are wrong for you.
