Has anyone tried hypnosis, acupuncture or another alternative method for weight loss?
I've lost weight on healthy low-cal/low-fat diets before, but I just can't stick to a good eating and exercise schedule this time around. I am at my witts end and my weight is not healthy mentally or physically!
My brother in law quit smoking through laser acupuncture (lasers instead of needles) quite a few years ago. Whether it was placebo or not my opinion is not smoking is worth the $500 he spent health and money wise and shalom bais wise.
My friends father went to another state to a famous hypnotist and quit a really very bad drinking problem cold turkey. Again, placebo or not, it was worth everything.
I would never forgive myself though if I spent so much of our very tight budget on something I should technically be able to do on my own.

If experience has shown you that this is something you cannot do on your own, it does not signify failure to pursue other options. On the chance that it may work, I would go for it.
Good luck!

a non-expensive hypnosis option is the book & CD " can make you thin" by Paul Mckenna.
I have used the CD (hypnosis) that helps to stop overeating.
He has 4 rules that he helps you keep to through hynosis:
1. When you're hungy, eat!
2. Eat only what you want, not what you think you should (ie. if you feel like chicken but think you should have only salad - eat the chicken!)
3. Eat consciously and slowly
4. Stop when you're full!
He basically uses hypnosis to break habits of eating for reasons other than hunger.
Good Luck

Does it address other issues? Like when I am so overtired but I have to be up with the kids and if I don't get a sugar rush right away I will be unbearable. Or when I have no energy to prepare anything I can't grab. Or when nursing leaves me so hungry it takes forever to fill me up. Or food jealously like when I feel I have to eat something otherwise someone else will finish it all and I won't have any when I really want it.

Maybe you need not just the help from a healer, but a nutritionist too - you shouldn't be gaining back the weight.
