Stop Dieting Forever: Change Your Habits, Change Your Life!
If you're tired of yo-yo dieting and ready for lasting change, this book is your roadmap to permanent weight loss. Joann Abrahamsen, a board-certified hypnotist with over thirty years of experience, reveals why willpower alone isn't enough—and shows you exactly how to rewire your subconscious mind for success.
This isn't another diet book filled with restrictive meal plans. Instead, you'll discover how to gradually transform the habits that sabotage your weight loss goals through:

• Practical self-hypnosis techniques that make healthy choices feel automatic and effortless
• Real-world strategies for portion control, mindful eating, stress management, and social situations

Each chapter focuses on one specific lifestyle change—from understanding calories and staying hydrated to improving sleep and building supportive environments. With real client stories, step-by-step hypnosis scripts, and visualization exercises, you'll have everything needed to make lasting change.
The author's personal journey through breast cancer and a successful weight management study proves these methods work. You're not going on a diet—you're creating a sustainable lifestyle that supports your ideal weight for life. Stop the cycle of temporary fixes and start building habits that last forever.

Joann Abrahamsen has spent over thirty years helping people transform their lives through hypnosis. Board-certified through the National Guild of Hypnotists and International Certification Board of Clinical Hypnotherapists, she's earned multiple honors including induction into the Hypnosis Hall of Fame and the prestigious Order of Braid Award.

Turn Habit Change into Lasting Weight Loss

Weighing in on Hypnosis is the rare weight loss book that focuses on what truly drives change, daily habits and the subconscious patterns behind them. Joann Abrahamsen explains, in clear and compassionate language, why white knuckle willpower fizzles out, then gives you practical tools to rewire your responses so healthier choices feel natural.

I appreciated that this is not a diet manual, no restrictive meal plans, no gimmicks. Each chapter tackles one lifestyle lever, hydration, sleep, portion control, mindful eating, stress, and even tricky social situations. The self hypnosis scripts and visualization exercises are simple to follow, and the real client stories make the process feel achievable. I tried several of the techniques, and I noticed calmer decision making around food within days.

Abrahamsen’s credibility shines. With more than thirty years of experience, board certifications through the NGH and ICBCH, and honors like the Hypnosis Hall of Fame and the Order of Braid Award, she brings both depth and heart. Her personal journey through breast cancer and participation in a weight management study add authenticity, she clearly lives what she teaches.

If you are done with yo yo dieting and want a sustainable path, this book is a roadmap. It helps you build supportive environments, reshape habits step by step, and create a lifestyle that fits real life. Highly recommended for anyone seeking lasting results without the burnout.
