NEW YORK CITY HYPNOSIS PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE FROM THE GROUND ZERO AREA
Archive - October 2007

Part 1 - 68 Weight Loss Tips that WORK - from the New York City Hypnosis Center's top weight loss pros !

Our NYC Hypnotist team at the New York Hypnosis Center
put their tranced-out heads together .. and came up with
this list to help you get your hypnosis weight loss
program .. This is how New Yorker's lose weight.

Get YOUR BUTT in GEAR

 The tough part with exercise, of course, is getting out there and doing
it. Here's how the successful get going:

1. Prioritize. The beds might not get made, but Behina Washington, 39, still makes
time for exercise. That's how she's kept off more than 127 pounds for 14 years.
"I have to schedule it in and let go of other things -- like a perfectly clean
house," she says.
*** New York Hypnosis Weight Lost Tip - Make being at your right
and proper weight, your number 1 priority.

2. Find a burning passion that will motivate you to the heavens.
"I have a gymnastics background and when I found Pilates, I said, 'Thank God.' If somebody told me I had to go out and jog 6 days a
week, I'd still weigh 243 pounds," says Amina LaPhet, 46, who lost 64 pounds and has  kept it off for 9 years.

**** Our NEW YORK HYPNOTIST's reveal, their secret motivating passion is their underlying purpose to help others live the life they themselves struggled to achieve.

 3. Keep an exercise journel. It makes you more accountable.
Norma from Dallas, TX, who hangs hers on the refrigerator,
checks off six workouts a week dutifully. "If I miss one
day, I make that my day off for the week."

**** New York City Hypnosis tip: Make a committment .. even if it means
only walking ONE ADDITIONAL BLOCK a day.

4. Set a goal. Sign up for some fun runs and try to
improve your times. "I went from a 5-K to a 4-miler,
then a 5-miler, then a 10-K. As I was building miles
and speed, I was getting fitter and losing more
weight," says Therese Revitt, 42, who lost 80 pounds
and recently ran a marathon.

 5. Get pumped. "It wasn't until I put on more
muscle through resistance training that I was able to
keep the weight off -- almost effortlessly," says

Verona Mucci-Hurlburt, 37, who went from a size 18
to an 8. The reason? Muscle burns more calories
around the clock.

 Eat  Like a THIN PERSON

 6. Make changes for the
long haul. "I learned how to
eat and live with it for the
rest of my life," says
Barbara Miltenberger, 42,
who lost more than 40
pounds and hasn't seen any
come back in three years.

7. Stop phony, unworkable dieting. "The best thing I did was quit
dieting," says Reed. "I'd always find ways to cheat.
So instead, I stopped forbidding myself certain foods
and just started eating less of them."

8. Give your inner liar a kick in the butt.
|"When I started keeping a
food diary, I discovered that I was eating somewhere
between 3,000 and 4,000 calories a day," says
Rebecca, 46, who found the number shocking.

9. Eat smaller meals. Having
smaller, more frequent meals
can prevent you from getting
ravenously hungry and
overeating. On average,
weight loss winners eat five
times a day.

10. USE YOUR EYES like an albino elephant who never
forgets. "If you watch what you eat 90% of the time, the other
10% is not a problem," says Mucci-Hurlburt, who learned this tip
from a fitness professional.

11. Drag your butt from behind the tv and eat at the dinner table
only. If you eat in front of the TV, then every time you nestle in with
the remote control, it's a cue to eat. Instead,
designate an eating spot for all meals and snacks.

"Even when I want potato chips, I set the table just
like I was going to sit down for a full course meal,"
says Kathy Wilson, 47, who took off more than 100
pounds. "I put a handful of chips on the plate, put the
bag away, and then sit down to eat. I never just stand
at the counter and eat now."

12. Think before you bite. Creating rituals -- like
Wilson did or the old standby of waiting 10 minutes
before giving into a craving -- can stop you from
eating when you really aren't hungry. "Nine chances
out of 10 the chips go back in the cupboard, and I just
walk away," says Wilson.

13. Drink water like a slobbering guppy.
"Drinking lots of water keeps me from
snacking when I'm not hungry, and it gives me more
energy," says Revitt. "It also stopped what I thought
were hunger headaches, which were probably due to
dehydration. "

 

Set Yourself Up  for Powerful Success !!

 
14. Do it for yourself. "My
doctor told me for years that I had
to take the weight off. But you've
got to want it yourself," says

Wilson. "As long as somebody else
is pushing you, no matter what you
do or what you try, it'll never
work," adds Victoria Bennett, 39,
who shed 60 pounds and has kept
them off for five years.

15. Take it slowly ... like the Galapagos Tortois.
We all want to lose it yesterday,
but slow is the way to go if you don't want to see
those pounds again. "It took me a year to lose 100
pounds this time," says Rebecca, who's kept it off for
eight years. "I had lost 100 pounds twice before, in
less than six months each time, but I didn't maintain
it."

 16. Make your approach UNIQUE .. FOR YOU !!!.
What worked for your best friend may not work for you. And what
works for you today may not work six months from
now. You need to decide what you need.

Mucci-Hurlburt joined a structured program for
accountability. "I needed to know that I was going to
get weighed each week," she says. But for others
that's exactly what they don't need.

17. Learn from the past dieting mistakes.
Everyone we talked to had
tried to lose weight before.
Part of their success this time
was that they learned from
past failures. "Before, the
more I focused on weighing,
measuring, and preparing food,
the more I ate," says Wilson, who finally succeeded
with a program that offered prepackaged foods.

18. Set small goals, don't try to shimmy off the weight
overnight.. "My first goal was to lose only
10 pounds," says Rebecca. "I had very high blood
pressure, and my doctor said if I would just lose 10
pounds, he believed that I could get off the pills.

Every other doctor before said I had to lose 100
pounds, and I thought 'I can't do that.' But 10 pounds,
I thought 'maybe I can do that.' Doing it one bite at a
time made it more achievable for me."

19. Make changes you can live with. "Before I'd
go to bed I'd ask myself, 'Is what I did today
something I could do for the rest of my life?' If I felt
deprived, I'd do it differently tomorrow. If I thought,

'Yeah, I could do this tomorrow,' then I was on the
right track," says Revitt.

Control those BEHEMOTH Portions

 20. Go back to school. Joining a weight loss class
or working with a dietitian can help you learn proper
portions, even without weighing and measuring. "If
you get a half cup of cottage cheese, it should look
like a tennis ball, a quarter cup should look like a
Ping-Pong ball," says Wilson. "Now, I know what
appropriate portions look like."

21. Don't toss those
measuring cups, though. "I
usually misjudge portions of
salad dressing, mayonnaise,
and ice cream," says Revitt.
"They're really high in fat and
calories and cause the most
damage if overdone. So I still
measure them."  

22. Cook realistically for the people
who are eating ..., not an army.
|Even for low-fat foods like grilled chicken,
Bennett stopped
overfeeding her family of four. "I stopped making six
or seven breasts, thinking that everybody had to have
two or three," she says. "Now I make just one for
each person."

Learn to Cook ...it's fun !

 23. Plan ahead. An empty
fridge after a stressful day
begs for pizza. The
now-slender crew doesn't
leave meals to chance.
Many of them plan their
menus a week or more in
advance. Others even cook
ahead, freezing meals for
the week in individual containers.

24. A little dab will do it. If you just can't pass on
some high-fat favorites, stick to the most flavorful
ones. "A single slice of bacon is enough to flavor
eggs or a potato," says Helen Fitzgerald, 61, who lost
about 51 pounds. Her husband's lost more than 150
pounds.

25. Fake fry. Try"frying" with
calorie-free cooking sprays
instead of oil. Spray sliced
potatoes and roast them in the
oven for french fries that taste
fried without the fat, suggests
Miltenberger.

26. Stock frozen veggies. With pasta or stir-fry
sauces, they are diet saviors. "I've been known to eat
a whole bag of vegetables -- and with only a quarter
cup of sauce, it's only about 3 grams of fat," says
Mucci-Hurlburt. "It's saved my butt many times when
I was really hungry and had to eat now."

27. Flavor up. Rice, beans, and other cooked grains
are the staples of many successful dieters. For
variety, Fitzgerald cooks them in different liquids --
tomato juice, apple juice, beef or chicken stock. "Rice
done in pineapple juice is especially good for rice
puddings and Chinese dishes," she says.

Don't be a Lonely Lilly ... and try to do It Alone

28. Find the right support
person. A nag won't do.
Neither will a partner in
crime. Look for someone
who can empathize and
support you in a positive way.
When Reed finally succeeded
in losing weight, her fiance
was a big help. "We didn't
focus all our socializing
around food. We went bike
riding a lot and played tennis
instead of going for pizza."

29. Join a support group.
"Hearing someone say she lost
50 pounds would be real
motivating," says Revitt. "I'd
think, 'She's just a normal
person like me. If she can lose
50 then I can do it too.'"


New York City Hypnosis to Quit Smoking - Tips on how to choose a NYC Hypnotist to stop smoking

The Truth about how to
QUIT SMOKING CIGARETTES with NYC Hypnosis
and
How to choose a good Hypnotist in New York CIty

HERE IS THE TRUTH .. PLAIN AND SIMPLE ....
THE STOP SMOKING CIGARETTES FACT FROM NEW YORK'S
MOST SUCCESSFUL HYPNOSIS CENTER
AS REVEALED ON
WOR NEWS !!!

****HOW MANY SESSIONS DO I NEED TO STOP SMOKING WITH HYPNOSIS NYC***

The truth be known, at NYC HYPNOSIS TO STOP SMOKING, if you are stopping smoking cigarettes for the right reason, with the cutting-edge techniques our Society of Applied Hypnosis, certified hypnotists use at the NYC HYPNOSIS CENTER only one session is required.

**************************************************************************************************************

Why do some hypnotists say it takes 5 or more sessions to stop smoking?

Well, you can't blame them. NYC rents are ridiculously expensive. Still other hypnotists are out there using outmoded modalities and concepts which include methods like gradually cutting down (which most client claim prolongs the agony of stopping) or are working with outdated hypnosis tools of a previous century. If they haven't updated their training in recent years, they actually DON'T KNOW there is a better way.

If you seriously want to stop, and like we said "IT'S FOR THE RIGHT REASON" which we will determine when you call in for our FREE PHONE CONSULTATION ... that's all it takes!

*****************************************************************************************************************

WHAT ABOUT THESE $69. GROUP HYPNOSIS SESSIONS
I READ ABOUT IN THE PAPER .....

THAT CLAIM I WILL STOP SMOKING AND LOSE WEIGHT
IN ONE GROUP SESSION ??

This is an area which has caused many sincere and well trained hypnotists in the profession, considerable harm and has also significantly confused the general public.. There are some large corporate entities which take out large, full page ads in the newspapers, flood the media, radio and tv waves, fly into your local town or city for a week or two, book large rooms full of hopeful smokers at a ridiculous low fee of like $69. or so ........and give you a GUARANTEE you will be a non-smoker.

Now .. you ask, "Does group seminars for smoking and weight loss work?" Yes and NO !!! Approximately 2 to 5 percent of those whom are REALLY MOTIVATED TO STOP SMOKING will achieve results ... but the rest ... well ...I am sure you are aware of a time when you were in a large room full of people. As you looked around, you notices some were looking around themselves, some participants are restless, some could care less and were not paying attention, some are worrying about the gass-y food they ate before .....some are looking for a miracle, some are there because their spouse forced them to attend and some are just afraid of hypnosis. They don't expect to really be able to stop, and the natural condition of the mind is '
what the mind expects, it achieves.'

On the other hand, many attorney generals have gone after these roving traveling shows. Why? The secrets that they don't advertise is, Many of those lecturing at these hypnotic roadshows, are not qualified, trained hypnotists and they have alterior motives. They're highly effective salespeople who have used hypnosis and a low price to lure you in the door.

The unsuspecting participant signs up for a little money, with a big promise of changing a lifetime habit, and then, the so-called hypnotist, with the charisma of a carnival side show hawker, goes into a spiel about the products they're selling in the back of the room that you will need to go on FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE to stop smoking or lose weight.

Yep, you got it. Hypnosis was used just to get you in the door because everyone knows someone who has effectively stopped smoking with hypnosis. But the traveling groups shows are out to sell you something else ... and it isn't hypnosis. They may be doing hypnotic persuasion on you ... to BUY NOW. But when you leave the seminar you certainly didn't anticipate you would walk out the seminar door with a $250 debit charge on your credit card and a handful of vitamin bottles..

**************************************************************************************************************

HOW CAN THE GROUP HYPNOSIS GUYS OFFER A GUARANTEE ??

Everything isn't what you might assume. Usually the guarantee is worded something to this extent: Our 100 percent guarantee is:

If you don't stop smoking, you can repeat our seminars FREE whenever you need to.

Of course, they lose nothing. This benefits them as it gives them a second chance to sell you something. Just
don't expect them to be flying into town on a regular basis so you can take advantage of that guarantee.

*************************************************************************************************************

WHY DO SOME HYPNOTISTS REQUIRE I COME IN FOR A CONSULTATION?

For many reasons. One: Some hypnotists charge you $$$ for the consultation. They're just making a few extra bucks. Can't blame them.

Two: Many (and I'm not including the sincere hypnotists in this industry), are out for the kill .. They're going for your jugular ....

They are looking to  to sell you a series of sessions which range from $900 - 4,000. and take from 6 months to a year and a half to complete .. Now ...when you're there in front of one of these highly persuasive trained salespersons (using the same, highly persuasive, sales formula gym clubs use) you may find you have that a week later, you have what's called 'BUYER'S REMORSE' and you've signed an iron-clad legal binding document.

***********************************************************************************************************

DO GROUP HYPNOSIS SESSIONS WORK

Some group sessions do work for some people. Some programs such as the Silva Method Training for Stress Reduction are highly effective. But it's not a one hour session ... it's a 2-4 day training.

**************************************************************************************************************

WILL I RECEIVE CDS OR TAPE PROGRAMS FOR MY CONTINUED SUCCESS

Yes, at the Hypnosis NYC program, we give you a selection of hypnotic CDs FREE for your continuing success.

They're not in the area of smoking, because you won't need one ..... but they are tools you can use for the rest of your life ... Tools for motivation and stress reduction. And many people write and call us years later thanking us for all the extras we include in their package and about their continued growth.

*************************************************************************************************************

WILL YOU TEACH ME OTHER TECHNIQUES

Yes sir reee bob .... !!!

At the NYC Hypnosis Center, we teach our Smoking clients a phletora of many techniques. A technique to handle cravings. Another effective technique to deal with all the little stressors of the day. And another technique to change your state of mind, besides the hypnosis session. The combination of the different modalities, ensures your success.

John Petrocelli
New York Hypnosis Center

Come by our site .. There are plenty
of imitators in the last year ....

Kind of care you demand ...

Boy .. isn't Ebay ADDICTIVE !

Hi Ebayers .. From Ground Zero
in NYC's Financial District in the Wall St Area!

Just want to introduce myself. My name is John Petrocelli.
I'm a New York City hypnotist.


Yes, the one you have probably seen on tv .. the radio .. or read in the

media. I'm the one they  hauled out of the soot and debris during the
9/11 World Trade Center debacle.

Yes, I'm the sacrificial lamb, the OPTIMIST ....you've seen on tv who 
the media
lines up on a talk show along with a team of the top psychologists,
psychiatrists 
and anyone else the press  can scrounge up to entice you to watch,
to increase their ratings and prove to you, your life is hopeless .. doom
and gloom is ever present ... be fearful ... and keep viewing in so we
can inform you of those omnipresent terrors

WHY AM I ATTACKED ??? Hmmmm.

Because of  what I do, and why I'm attacked is because .. my clients get
results. Boy .. that seems to peeve people off in a capitalistic society ...
It's like you shouldn't experience the health you PAID the professionals
for .... And my clients report they achieve a sense of freedom, purpose in their lives.


Moving through their lives with that sense of adult wisdom .. not hindered

by the limiting beliefs of their childhood as to what is possible.

WHY SHOULD YOU BE CONCERNED !!

Reason being, we live in corporate America. Do you REALLY
BELIEVE it is in the best interest of ANY CORPORATION
for you to GET BETTER ?

I hate to overstate the obvious, but ... if you are healthy,
who pays the billions needed for hospitals to stay open,
the millions in malpractice insurance, your doctor's college
education, the drug companies.

Darn, if you get one thing from this post, it's,

NO BODY CARES as MUCH ABOUT
YOUR HEALTH as YOU DO !!

So please, do the research .. ask questions ....
TALK ABOUT RESULTS with your health professionals
 .. it's your life. You only have this one .. and mistakes when
it comes to your health are mostly irreparable !!

WHAT A COOL IDEA .. AN EBAY BLOG !!
HEY .. I'M THE GUY WHO BOUGHT YOUR
MOTHER'S ANTIQUE QUILT WITH THE
PICTURE OF  PRESIDENT HOOVER ON THE
BACK!

IMAGINE .. I'M SLEEPING WITH A
PRESIDENT?

WHAT WOULD MY DAD THINK ??


This new feature of ebay is pretty cool as the only contact I had
with sellers (except the handful of communicative ones) in the past
.. is that one or two sentences you receive, your item is shipped.

IF ONLY EBAY SELLERS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF
THIS SECRET !!!

Boy, if only ebay sellers knew just a smidgin of what retail sellers know,
to create rapport and trust amongst their buyers ... They'd be tripling
their profits. Just an occasional 2 paragraphs, or something like
this blog and bio setup I've just received.

Instead, I've rarely bought more than twice from the same ebay
seller. What a shame. They are just un-meaning names I pump
into my paypal payment center.

But it looks like ebay's storefronts have come a long way.
Still, remember, without that  humaness,
they are just sterile, on-screen accumulations of electronic
ions racing across the vast wasteland of internet space.
It's up to you to add that special bit of humaness that will
make you unique ... and much more prosperous.

WILL ANYONE READ THIS BLOG ??
WILL ANYONE RESPOND ??? I WONDER ?

Well, that's it for my first post. I'm kind of interested
as to whether anyone will read this or even knows how
to find this blog. I certainly don't.

Live today as if it is your last .. because we aren't guaranteed
tomorrow. You are not even guaranteed the next five minutes.

BTW: I DON'T BELIEVE IN HYPNOSIS !!!

BTW: When someone says they don't believe in
hypnosis .. it is NOT that they don't believe in hypnosis ...
it's THEY DON'T BELIEVE in Hollywood's interpretation
of hypnosis ... like making the dead walk, rob banks, levitate.
Believe me, if I could do that, I'd be making a heck of a lot
more money and taking it like ... real easy ... on my own
carribean island.

Hypnosis is a label for a normal, natural state that every
human goes in daily ... like daydreaming, or prayer, or
guided imagination. Matter of fact, hypnosis isn't important
in itself. It is what we do in that state where a client is
able to activate the most powerful part of their mind.

But some people will make up their own definition .. or
accept Hollywood's fantasy .. thank God, you've read this
indicating that you are one of the thinkers in our society !
