Marriage and the Power of Divorce

Again, if you want to show proof then don't link articles that are misleading and on flawed studies.

Until then I'm sure the majority of people will write hypnosis as treatment off as bullshit

You realize that linking actual studies is pretty close to impossible? They are all behind paywalls. If someone is a university student they can look it up fairly easily, but otherwise...

It isn't like that is unique to this issue. Most studies can't be linked to.

Biggie gave me all the evidence I need on hypnotizin' bitches.

What did you do after losing the weight? I think maintenance is harder than loss. Pretty easy to brute force any eating surplus by just exercising even more. True, while you can do that while maintaining, your margins are much smaller. And you have to know how much extra food you ate and what amount of exercise that equals, or you might go into loss or gain.

I got super stressed out for 3/4 months and stopped eating right and stopped working out, so I know what happened. I don't think anyone who goes through something like that doesn't know what happened, even if they say they don't. The bottom line is that I should have worked harder but life got really hard and it became difficult. I'm not making excuses for me, I'm just saying, I have read in many places about the 5 year success rate of weight loss basically being zero and what I have seen anecdotally kind of backs that up. If The Master turning his dark and terrible gaze on someone makes them more likely to succeed, why not?

There's a thread on this same forum, directly under this one on the front page, that has the information you seek.

If Master can hypnotise McCheese to not gorge out on food 3 times a week I'll be a believer

And I get flak for derails!

P.s. Met a girl. Like her a lot. Also she's 26, so practically an adult!

That is just an article on it. The study was published in Chest Journal, which is the publication of the American College of Chest Physicians. Which has been around for about 80 years.

Also Dabamf, didn't you post multiple times at this point about how the kind of cognitive therapy you're learning isn't done by the vast majority of your profession, despite empirical data that it is superior in results? That if anyone wanted you'd help them find someone near them trained correctly who was using modern methods? Mostly because the theories aren't accepted despite the data? Hypnosis has a very similar problem. Just because something is supported by the data, just because it works, doesn't mean people accept it. As demonstrated by this thread, hypnosis has a real problem with its public image. Especially in the U.S. But the data is there, for anyone who wants to look at it.

Point well taken. I'll retract my statements for now and read up on it before posting more

Lindz post boobs and get this thread back on track please.

Havent we already discussed before being a certain weight is a lifestyle(diet and activity lvl), not a thing you do for a couple months?

Don't ever mention that in the weight loss thread, they'll tell you all you need is bicep curls and ketosis.

I assume you're mostly joking, but the vast majority of the regular posters in the weight loss thread are proponents of living a healthy lifestyle which includes healthy eating and regular exercise. There are just a handful of keto zealots and other weirdos.

I know how much effort it takes for me to not gain weight and I don't really see other people in my life putting in that level of effort but I could be wrong.

I don't know anything about you or your friends so I'm speaking generally here, but just because you don't see people putting in effort to be fit doesn't mean they don't do it. You might see someone drinking beer and gorging on hot wings every Sunday afternoon, but you don't see them the other 6 days of the week when they eat healthy, low-calorie meals and hit the gym 3 - 5 times a week for cardio and weight lifting.

This is very similar to a point that has been brought up in this thread regarding "happy" marriages. Just because a couple appears to have a blissful marriage on the few days you see them together doesn't mean everything is that way for the other 95% of the time.

We can't help ourselves. We have to talk about swinging and hypnosex.

Save us from ourselves, Lindz, you are our only hope.

Well that settles that argument
