I feel like such a SUCCESS!!! My client as well SMASHED 10lbs this week too!!!
!!!
!!
That makes me SO GRATEFUL and full of happiness
because he has now smashed from 302 lbs to 282 lbs= 20 lbs smashed in 6 weeks & is RUNNNNNNNING NOW TOO, HIKING, SWIMMING, and COUNTING STEPS and EATING UNPROCESSED!!!! WOOHOOOO!!!
I really really LOVE each and every one of them!!!

!! They
INSPIRE ME!!!
What makes me feel
REALLY GOOD is that weight loss is one of the hardest things to deal with as a Hypnotherapist as far as progress goes. It's one of the most emotionally based and routed issues that we deal with as well. There are tons of reasons for which people maintain to keep the weight on. We all know this, we are here and read and see so many
different stories from people. It's amazing actually. But yes, because of it smashing weight takes a longer period of time wth the clients and repeated sessions. Things unravel along the way and the excess weight comes off. BUT, mind you they "say"

that the average percentage of weight loss "SUCCESS RATE" with clients is 10-15% percent range with weight loss!! That's SO SMALL!!!
So I got to thinking,...and switched the shoes around to
WHAT WOULD I NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN WEIGHT SMASHING THAT I COULD PROVIDE FOR MY CLIENT that isn't being provided that could actually aide my success rates compared to the averages?! Then OF COURSE, I thought of
all of you. I thought of this FORUM and what it's provided to me throughout the past 2 years (wow! can't believe it's that long..LOL) and the CONTINUOUS SUPPORT!!! ....then I thought. Of course! ...
Shit happens throughout the week as well. That's when we downward spiral. That's when it needs to be caught and turned around. That's what all of these other hypnotherapists haven't done.
They haven't spent the last 2 years of their lives getting support online BECAUSE THIS SHIT IS HARD! I
know that. I realize how easy or how hard this could be. How hard we can make it. The obstacles we can create and the obstacles and hurdles we can surpass!! Myself included. Who the fuck ever thought
I'd run a 26.2 mile marathon one day!! Shit! Not me! ....but with SUPPORT ...I pushed myself beyond limits.
I needed it!!!
That's what's not being provided with Hypnotherapy meetings one time a week. Daily support. Ahhhhh!!!! Very True!!! Most hypnotherapists, allow for the session and record the session
sometimes and give to them to listen at night if in fact it applies for the issue. It depends. Then
we sit and "hope" that through the hypnosis session and their conscious desire combined they "do" all the things that "WE DO HERE ON THIS SITE!" Count calories, write our shit out, vent, log it in, learn new methods, see it on a screen, and get SUPPORT from others on the things no one really wants to "LISTEN" to on the phone on a daily base. LOL....if you know what I mean. I mean, how many of us actually CALL someone and tell them our every snack, portion, calorie count, food content, emotional sensations at the thought of indulging it....
ON THE EVERY DAY BASIS?!! 
! It even sounds ridiculous saying. hahaha....I mean other than our spouses and partners
right?! But do they really REALLY want to hear it?! OR are we imposing it on them!?!?!
!! hahahah..Yea...I thought so!! LOL ....for the most part at least. I will say there are quite a few exceptions though!
...So with all of my weight SMASHING

clients, I have created GOOGLE SPREADSHEETS that I tap into
EVERYDAY (just like here/what I already do
LOL) and do the SAME for them!!! I give them some good hard "talks" as well, just as I do to
myself on here. Sometimes, I find that their lives reflect and mirror my own at the time and the "talks" are often what I am going through at the same time!!
The Laws of Attraction!!!! But yes,...so far, I've had like a good 5 steady "weight loss" clients that have either started and completed already or are still doing it...and they are all
SUCCESSFUL!!! ....now I'm down to 1 steady one for "weight loss". I really dislike that word though and the feelings that come along with it
for me. When I hear weight loss I think "HARD, PROBLEM, SUFFERING, DEPRIVING ONESELF, NOT FUN!" ...Versus I think weight SMASHING....I think of it as a GAME,...like HEHehe "Who can WIN THIS Little WAR?! I CAN SMASSSSH you!!!" ....and it seems FUN!! Go figure.
But yes,...
that's what makes me feel good! That I care enough to go ABOVE and BEYOND out of my way to create for them a google spreadsheet that is very cool and has all kinds of columns and is interactive and FREE via internet and we can do the same thing that we do here (except I don't write my meals...LOL, I just focus on them). SO FAR, this has given me a 100% success rate so far!! Each and every one has smashed pounds, learned to run, done this and done that!!...which in turn MOTIVATES me and makes ME feel like a SUCCESS!!!! Damn RIGHT!! It's funny,...he actually mentioned to me today..."Alta, your comments in the spreadsheet, are REALLY effective!" hahah...and had this funny look! He said "Your words in person, and even on paper. I mean screen." That made me smile. I felt GOOD!!
I have
3 Clients lined up for SATURDAY "Alta's CLIENT APPRECIATION Day!!!" All PRO-BONO!! If in fact they want to continue with sessions...GREAT more $$ paying clients, if not....GREAT,...maybe I'll get referalls that will lead to more paying clients $$$,...and if not GREAT....I'm out there spreading the word and the feeling of hypnotherapy and it's benefits so that I can attract more paying clients!!! hahah.... Starting a ripple...
