Close Your Eyes, Lose Weight - Part 3
What if the biggest obstacles to lasting weight loss aren’t physical at all... but emotional patterns hidden deep in the subconscious mind?In Part Three of the Close Your Eyes, Lose Weight series, we move even deeper, into the emotional and unconscious habits that often quietly sabotage our best intentions. Grace walks you through Weeks 5 to 8 of the proven 12-week protocol, helping you recognize and release the emotional blocks that can keep you stuck.We’ll explore why emotional eating is never really about the food, how to heal the cycle of using food to cope with emotions like boredom, sadness, and stress, and why true resilience comes from feeling your feelings rather than numbing them.You’ll also learn how boredom eating develops, why it’s so tempting, and three powerful antidotes to replace it with nourishing, joy-filled habits. Plus, Grace reveals how using food as a reward is a subconscious pattern learned early in life, and how to create healthier, more empowering ways to celebrate your wins.This episode isn’t about willpower or restriction. It’s about compassionately understanding yourself at the root level, healing emotional triggers, and building a life where food supports your freedom, not your frustration.Whether you're at the beginning of your transformation or peeling back new layers, this conversation will help you reconnect with your emotional wisdom, build healthier coping mechanisms, and retrain your subconscious to work for you, not against you.00:00 Welcome and Setting the Intention00:35 The Deeper Work: Emotional Eating and Subconscious Blocks02:05 Healing Emotional Eating at the Root04:15 Learning to Feel Without Numbing: Emotional Resilience06:20 Breaking the Cycle: Eating When Bored08:55 Three Antidotes to Mindless Eating11:30 Reclaiming Your Time and Energy14:10 Food as a Reward: Childhood Patterns and Adult Habits16:45 How to Celebrate Yourself Without Sabotage19:50 Hypnosis Tools to Heal Emotional and Reward-Based Eating22:30 Wrapping Up and Your Next StepsMentioned in this episode:Close Your Eyes, Lose WeightGrace Hypnotherapy App: getgrace.com90-Day Weight Loss ChallengeHealthy for LifeConnect with Grace: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gracesmithtv/?hl=enWebsite: https://www.gracesmith.com/Links: https://linktr.ee/getgrace

Close Your Eyes, Lose Weight - Part 2
What if lasting weight loss isn’t about adding more to your to-do list... but about building a few simple, powerful habits at the subconscious level?In Part Two of the Close Your Eyes, Lose Weight series, we move beyond conscious effort and into the foundations that truly create change. Grace will walk you through the first steps of the proven 12-week protocol, starting with habits so simple they’re often overlooked: chewing thoroughly, staying hydrated, and stopping when satisfied.But as you’ll hear, it’s not about “trying harder” to remember these habits. It’s about rewiring them into your subconscious mind, so they become effortless and natural over time.We’ll also explore why slowing down with food changes everything, why hydration can be a secret weapon for energy and fat metabolism, and why learning to stop when you’re satisfied (instead of stuffed) frees you from decades of old conditioning.And if you’ve ever struggled with feelings of guilt around leaving food on your plate, or pressure from cultural expectations around eating, Grace will share how to navigate those situations with grace, compassion, and confidence.This episode isn’t about restriction or punishment, it’s about honoring your body’s wisdom, gently retraining your mind, and taking the first joyful steps toward real transformation.Whether you’re just starting out or deepening your practice, this conversation will help you create new habits from a place of mindfulness, self-trust, and ease.00:00 Welcome and Setting the Intention00:58 The First Foundation: Why Chewing Thoroughly Changes Everything03:30 The Power of Hydration04:50 Learning to Stop When Satisfied09:06 Clearing the Path: Releasing Limiting Beliefs12:19 Trusting Your Body: Intuitive Eating and Mindful Presence16:38 Reframing Movement: Learning to Crave Exercise21:15 Wrapping Up and Your Next StepsMentioned in this episode:Close Your Eyes, Lose WeightGrace Hypnotherapy App: getgrace.com90-Day Weight Loss ChallengeHealthy for LifeConnect with Grace: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gracesmithtv/?hl=enWebsite: https://www.gracesmith.com/Links: https://linktr.ee/getgrace

What if your struggle with weight has nothing to do with willpower, or food?In the Close Your Eyes, Lose Weight Series, we begin with a powerful reframe: what if the real reason you haven’t seen lasting results isn’t because you’re doing something wrong… but because your subconscious is trying to protect you?Drawing from the proven protocol in my bestselling book Close Your Eyes, Lose Weight, I’ll share what I’ve seen in over a decade of hypnotherapy practice, including the unexpected subconscious reasons people resist weight loss, even when they desperately want it.You’ll hear why emotional safety, identity, and inherited beliefs often drive our behaviors around food, and why “just trying harder” never works long-term.
