What Really Is Weight Control and Hypnotic Gastric Banding?

ByDavid Donahoo

Expert Author David Donahoo

As a hypnotherapist, I get many calls about weight control and my Hypnotic Gastric Banding program (also known as Sheila Granger's Virtual Gastric Banding). The first thing I ask is what do you mean by weight control? This question may seem a bit obvious, but it isn't really. Let me explain.

Weight control is different for every person. You may think it means what it says, that I want to control my weight. Well, that is part of what it means, but what else does it mean to you and other people?

Weight control can mean:

• Control your eating behavior

• Stop Binge Eating

• Eat the right type of food

• Get rid of the belly fat

• Increase activity or exercise

• Stop Yo-Yo dieting

• And much more.

From what is written in the list, there are really three important things that need to be covered to have true weight control:

• Eat when hungry

• Stop when full

• Eat less and do more activity to lose weight.

All other things stem from these three points.

What controls your ability to know when you are hungry and so eat, or stop eating when you are full, or be motivated to lose weight? The answer is your mind. Your mind is very powerful. It is more powerful than you probably realize. It controls your habits around eating. It controls your will power, or lack of. Your mind is the place where your eating behavior is stored.

To control weight then you need to control your mind. Your mind is made up of the conscious and subconscious mind. The conscious mind thinks analyses and creates; but is only a small portion of the mind. The major area is the subconscious. It does not think or create. It is just like a computer. It does what you told it to do. So if you eating habits are out of control, that is because your subconscious mind is behaving in a way that is out of control.

To create your weight control, you just need to have the subconscious mind take notice of what you want and action that rather than the other habits you have been told like "clean the plate", or "you cannot leave the table until it is all eaten." These are beliefs that you have created from that others told you, but they are no longer relevant. So you created these in the first case and you can therefore change them to be what you want.

Hypnotic or Virtual Gastric Banding uses the mind to create the idea of a pouch at the top of the stomach. Therefore, you eat when hungry and stop when the pouch is full and so only need 3 small meals a day.

So weight control is all about using the power of the mind with the body to control your weight.
