Pivot Point Hypnotherapy

About Amie

 

I am not a licensed anything. I am a woman, a mom who had struggled with my weight for over 20 years and have tried, like you, everything under the sun to get it off and keep it off.  I wish hypnotherapy would have been my first resort and not my last!

 

I have been a weight loss conselor for two very different very well known diet companies. One Globally recognized and the other very well known here in Colorado. I did have sucsess losing the weight with both. I did not have sucess keeping it off. For me, following the diet was the easy part. At least in the beginning. I was so sucssesful with the first program that I was offered a job to be a couselor. I loved helping people on their path to weight loss. 

 

Before I became pregnant with my daughter I was already 60 lbs over weight. While pregnant I gained a whopping 70 more! I mentioned several programs; I had hijacked a friend's program that she paid LOTS of money for. I could not afford this as a stay at home mom. I read everything she had on the program and did my research and followed the best I could with out support of any trained counselors. It worked. I wish I had the support of the center she attended. I had so many questions that went unanswered. My journey was bumpy and frustrating to say the least. After losing 100 lbs. in about 9 mos. I started eating EXACTLY the way I had before I started the "program". I didn't know how to do one or the other. Again; that guidance would have been great. I gained back 70 lbs that year. I did the program again, and again and again. Losing 30 lbs and gaining it back several times. What I was truly missing was in myself. Moderation and the fear of carbs. It had been engrained ( get it!) in me that carbs were the enemy. After reading almost every nutrition ( not diet ) book in the library and online, I finally have seen the light! Clean eating and moderation. I also sought out Becky. I needed her help to help me help myself. Can she make me like boneless chicken breast for dinner 4 nights a week? No, but with hypnotherapy I was able to find a better path for myself. To enjoy eating carbs with out fear or regret. 

 

If you are on a diet that tells you not to eat fruit; RUN!! this is insanity. I have been on that "diet". What happened? After about four weeks of no fruit, no bread or cheese I starred in my very own back to school special " Pity Party in the Pantry". It was not pretty. When we starve our bodies of nutrients it needs and we deprieve our taste buds of real food we retaliate. Go big or go home!! With hypnotherapy I was able to give up processed foods that were literally weighing me down. Eat clean and still treat myself. The biggest thing I have lost is not the weight but the mindset that food is the enemy. I have lost the hurtfeel things we say to ourselves when we indulge. I am not a fanatic! I love to enjoy food, life and food! I just don't need to eat the junk in the pantry that has a longer shelf life than I do!
