Waiting

Hypnosis doesn't just keep you motivated, although that's a nice benefit. It really helps to curb the appetite. The appetite is controlled by the mind. That's why if you see a commercial with food, juicy hamburgers with crisp lettuce, pizza with the cheese flowing just a little, a piece of rich, dark chocolate cake, you may decide it's a good idea to eat something. This used to happen to me a lot. But that is not hunger. That is appetite. I have always had a good appetite. What happens when your eyes are bigger than you stomach, is that you thought it looked so good, you wanted to take a huge portion of it. That's not hunger. Hunger originates in the stomach, when it is empty, which means it has completed digestion of the last meal or snack you consumed. It may take over 2 or 3 hours before your stomach becomes empty.
Appetite is also thinking you're hungry when it's 12 noon. Well it's lunch time! Or whatever time you usually eat a meal. Or when you see attractive food, on TV or real life. When I watch the Soprano's I always crave eggplant parmesan or lasagne.
So the point is, hunger is from the stomach, but appetite is from the mind! And hypnosis can help keep your appetite under control. I like the suggestion that a small portion of food will completely satisfy me. It also helps with cravings. If you want to crave healthy, natural foods, like apples! Apples are just great for healthy eating programs. They have lots of fiber! Crisp, juicy apples. If you eat one, 20 minutes before a meal, you will consume less. And they used to say, an apple a day keeps the doctor away! They are good for you in many ways. Enough about apples. Time to go eat one!
