Weight Loss For Women After Pregnancy

Weight loss for women after pregnancy can take longer that
you were hoping for. I know you are in a hurry to get back
to your pre-pregnancy weight but hold on. Remember, you've
just experienced the miracle of pregnancy and birth. Take
some time to marvel at the beauty of it.

During this time there are so many emotions swirling through
your mind... not to mention hormones. At the same time you're
excited, happy, tired, stressed and perhaps a bit fearful of
new responsibilities. The result of all these emotions is
that you overeat. Women often eat for emotional reasons
rather than because of physical hunger. There is a little
voice inside that says "Go ahead, eat the piece of
chocolate... it will make you feel better."

When you lose the weight after your baby is born, you'll be
healthier and have a lot more energy. An added benefit is
that you'll be a good role model for your child. No question
about it, you know you want to lose the weight. You might
even have talked to your doctor and left with a diet and
exercise plan to follow.

Before you get started, make the commitment to be good to
yourself. Here are a few simple ways to get you on your way.

Try to get enough sleep.

Laugh as you watch a funny movie.

Invite some friends over to show off your new baby.

Go outside and get some fresh air.

Getting back to that little voice telling you to eat some
chocolate. This voice is the voice of your subconscious
mind. You'll need to rely on willpower unless you change the
beliefs in your subconscious mind. When you believe
'chocolate will make me feel better' you will continue to
feel frustrated as you sabotage your weight loss efforts.

Once you change those beliefs, you'll find that you are
naturally choosing the habits that will support you in
losing weight. Self hypnosis is a proven tool to help you
change your deeply rooted beliefs into ones that support
weight loss.

Here's how: 1. Make a list of the new beliefs you want to
have. An example is "I only eat when I am physically
hungry." 2. Read the list out loud many times during the
day. 3. Consider making a recording and listen to it as you
go about your day.

All of these things can be done on your own, but really, the
easiest way to use self hypnosis for weight loss is to just
buy an audio recording and listen to it regularly. This is
the most important step in successful weight loss for women
who have just experienced the miracle of birth. When will
you make the time to begin?
