Positive Weight Control

Fact - Up to 95% of all diets fail.

Not only do diets often fail they are usually tedious and can be risky to your health, sometimes depriving you of essential nutrients.
Why you eat as you do and how it affects your body can be due to a number of reasons but can include:

Learned behaviour when young
Use of eating as a ‘crutch’
Habitual eating
Emotional eating
Exercise levels

With the use of hypnosis over a four to six session programme we show you how to control your weight and help you change the behaviour that leads to weight problems.

Losing weight should be straightforward; all you have to do is cut out or reduce unhealthy and fattening foods, develop healthy eating and drinking habits and take regular exercise.

Using Hypnotherapy we can help make the process of changing your life style much easier. We also help to eliminate food cravings and binge eating by addressing any related psychological or emotional issues.

In your first session

We assess your health background, eating habits and any compulsive eating behaviour.
We then discuss what you want to achieve and decide with you what the best approach will be for you.

One of the first things to do is to set achievable goals.
If you want to lose weight you should first define what your real goals are.

For instance:

Do you want to weigh less?
Do you want to feel more confident?
Be fitter?
Look good in certain clothes?

Whatever goal you set must be achievable, if it isn't you are very likely to fail.
Weight loss is gradual and loss of 2 lbs per week is sensible, realistic and should be attainable.

Any goals set should also be positive, for example, 'I want to lose 5 lbs in 6 weeks' instead of 'I want to lose a stone in a month' or 'I need to lose a bit of weight'. Having decided upon achievable goals they will help to motivate you.

The following sessions

These will depend on the goals set but can cover

emotional eating behaviour
compulsive eating
changing the way you eat i.e. what and when you eat
snacking
reinforcing your will to exercise
putting you in control of your eating
helping to attain your self image
instructing you in self hypnosis

We may use a mix of Hypnotherapy, NLP (altering the way you think about things) and EFT (tapping) depending upon what will work for you.
