Product Description

Since diets don't work, and so many people have unhealthy relationships with food, the key to weight loss is not what you put in your mouth-it's what goes on in your mind.

Brain-imaging technology has shown that thought patterns driven by willpower can actually change the structure of the brain. Using this scientific basis for her program, Dr. Darcy Buehler has helped hundreds of people lose weight and keep it off. In Think Yourself Thin, Dr. Buehler shows readers how to:

- Get the right ideas into your mind, so that your will to lose weight works unwanted urges out of the brain's circuitry
- Determine the approaches that are effective at slimming you down individually, while helping you grow as a person on the inside

The book includes a 72-minute self-hypnosis audio CD with eight tracks that complement the program in the book.

Chapter one
Hypnosis and Self-Hypnosis for Weight Loss: Rewiring Your Brain

Most weight-loss strategies involve dieting, in which your will is directed toward staying away from certain foods for a certain amount of time, but not about eliminating unhealthy urges altogether.

Using this CD, your will is directed toward addressing your most internal thoughts, urges, and finally, that area of your brain that generates the unhealthy cravings. With this approach you will be replacing the cravings with healthier thoughts and images and as a result will change your brain.
Your new brain circuitry will support and sometimes even initiate new urges fundamental to your new lifestyle. As you repeatedly listen to the CD and internalize the messages and make them your own, the guidance then is not from my voice, but rather deep in your own mind and the heart of direct experience.

The messages are also designed as a means of turning toward oneself with care and well-being. If you are an overweight person, this kind of care and nurturing from yourself is a rare experience. The negative messages that you repeatedly give yourself block the much-needed inner-directed care. Messages of fear, doubt, shame, and judgment are replaced with images of confidence and psychological strength.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lose Weight By Changing Your Thinking, April 5, 2007
In Dr. Darcy Buehler's book, "Think Yourself Thin," she tells us that in order to lose weight, you first have to change your thinking. Successful dieting is not just about finding the perfect diet plan, doing a tremendous amount of exercise, or eating only the foods you don't like ... it is about self talk and believing you can succeed. Which makes sense to me. It just may be that you are the one blocking the way to your weight loss success by negative things you say to yourself. For instance, if you are thinking, "I'll probably fail at this diet just like all the others," then you have already begun to fail and you are maintaining your identity as an overeater and a failure at dieting.
The author points out that while you won't lose weight just by thinking yourself thin, it is the first step because, with thinking yourself thin, you will start taking the necessary steps to get thin. You will still need to watch your eating habits and exercise often. Which you shouldn't do only to lose weight, but also for the health aspects of it. Dr. Buehler also provides a list of lifestyle changes which need to be made for weight loss success plus lots of other info. For those of you who like self-hypnosis, this book also includes self-hypnosis scripts at the end of chapters and a self-hypnosis CD done in a pleasant and professional voice.

5.0 out of 5 stars I needed this!, April 17, 2007
By G. Martyn (Troy, MI) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
How refreshing to learn a special diet that doesn't focus on food, but more on eating and being healthy. I am using this with the "Self Hypnosisis Diet" Diffrent style of hypnotism on each CD, and different presentation. This has made a difference in my attitude enough that in the 3 weeks I have used this, my appetite is heathier. Of course. a willing attitude of belief of the system makes a difference!

4.0 out of 5 stars Self-Hypnosis Works Where Diets Fail, May 9, 2008
By Lynda Lippin (Providenciales, Turks & Caicos Islands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)    (VINE VOICE)   
Let's face it already: diets don't work. If they did, we would not be facing a global obesity epidemic with all of the related illnesses that go with it, like heart disease, increased risk of certain cancers, and orthopedic joint problems. Several months ago there was an international news story about an English boy whose mother allowed him to eat whatever he wanted. This included entire pizzas, burgers and fries, and multiple bags of chips. British social services considered taking away custody since the boy was so unhealthy and obviously out of control.

Our sense of appropriate portions is completely skewed. The small McDonald's fries today is the size large was 20 years ago. That's right - the small used to be the large!

Basically, if you eat less and exercise more you will lose weight. We all know that and have for years! Yet, if you are like most people (including me) you have tried low fat, low carb, grapefruit, pills, green tea, and every other diet plan out there. For the majority of dieters, these plans do not work. Even if we lose weight in the short term we gain it back in the long term. Each time we gain it back we gain a bit more and it becomes harder to lose.

Into this fray strolls Dr. Darcy Buehler, a behavioral therapist who has utilized hypnosis to help herself and her clients lose weight. Her theory is that diets do not work because we, the dieters, don't really change our behaviors and thought processes about food, exercise, ourselves, and our lives. We always feel like fat people who crave foods, have food addictions, and always fall short of the ideal.

Think Yourself Thin: The Revolutionary Self-Hypnosis Secret to Permanent Weight Loss is not about changing how you eat, but changing how you think. The accompanying CD contains eight self-hypnosis scripts such as "Rewiring Your Brain" (which contains suggestions such as "Your urges are nothing more than faulty messages from your brain. You are learning to recognize a false message and simply say no to urges."), "Decision Making," and "Exercise."

Dr. Buehler does make some suggestions about diet and exercise, but the majority of the book is about changing your brain and lifestyle to that of a non-dieter, to that of a healthy eating and exercising person who can recognize a bad eating idea when they see it and stop before it's too late. The audio scripts are definitely the best part. I downloaded them from the CD onto my MP3 player and I listen to at least one every day.

The self-hypnosis appears to be working. My nighttime eating urges are definitely less pronounced and I am starting to feel better. Yes, the scale is slowly moving down.
