Weight Loss
Finding it hard to maintain a healthy weight?
There is no magic or secret about the key to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Ultimately, we have to make sensible food choices in reasonable portion sizes and take regular physical exercise. There is no escaping the reality of this truth, and there is no quick fix that can get us there. It takes time, effort and consistency.
One of the difficulties we face is that food is everywhere. After all, we have to eat to live. But it’s not just the food we have at home in the cupboards – it’s the food that colleagues bring into work to share, the meals out we have with friends and family, and the get togethers that always seem to involve food and drink. There is simply way too much of it, and it’s often the very worst sorts of food that are freely available, laden with fat and sugar.
How are you feeling about food and exercise?
- You feel down, so you eat
- Stressed and anxious, which results in eating more
- Bored and frustrated with the whole idea of "dieting" again
- Trapped in a cycle of eating the wrong foods
- Too tired to exercise
- Little or no motivation to get active
- Self-conscious about exercising because of your size
- Ashamed about what you see in the mirror
- Your weight is making you very unhappy
How can hypnotherapy help you to lose weight and take more exercise?
Hypnotherapy offers a unique approach towards weight loss which targets the part of the brain which is resistant to making healthy changes. It is very different from going to a slimming club, because hypnotherapy is designed to fundamentally change your thinking and behaviour on a permanent basis.
Each session is in two parts:
The first part will be a discussion about where you are currently, and what you want to achieve next in terms of your eating habits and physical activity. I will help you identify all the difficult areas, and agree concrete steps you can take to overcome them. Each week these steps will be reviewed and redefined.
The second part of the session involves using relaxation and visualisation techniques to tackle underlying issues – such as lack of motivation, low mood or high levels of stress. I will also target specific issues related to weight loss, such as making good food choices, portion control, resisting temptation, consistently eating healthily and increasing the motivation to exercise.
Ultimately, hypnotherapy offers an approach which makes embracing a healthier lifestyle much easier, and it gives you the tools not just to create a new body image, but to create a new you!
