The answer to your question is, no, you can't lose weight with "only" hypnosis. You can lose weight one of three ways: diet, exercise, or surgery. That's it, that's all. The nice thing is that hypnosis can help motivate you to alter your diet and/or increase your exercise level. If you want to lose weight and need motivational assistance with doing that, hypnosis can be a very helpful tool. But if you don't want to, fifty sessions a month will not achieve anything except enriching your hypnotherapist.

Not, I hasten to add, that I don't want hypnotherapists to get rich. :) Just not like that.

Hypnosis isn't magic mind control. If you seriously don't want to lose weight, neither hypnosis nor any other therapy will make you lose weight. Furthermore, while I'm sure most overweight people would be okay with instantly losing some weight, not everyone is obsessed with the matter. I'm certainly heavier than I should be, but I honestly don't care. If someone were to look at me and claim I obviously couldn't do weight-loss therapy because I'm too fat, I would laugh at them.
