WEIGHT LOSS VIRTUAL GASTRIC BAND HYPNOTHERAPY NOW AVAILABLE Ask me about this exciting programme (see virtual gastric band hypnotherapy) For many of you reading this, you know all too painfully well that DIETS DON'T WORK for long term weight loss. They don't work for several reasons: - Diets only target one piece of the weight loss puzzle.
- People get quickly bored with strictly counting calories.
- Feelings of deprivation tend to trigger bounce-back overeating, with the result that the weight quickly comes back on.
IF PSYCHOLOGICAL REASONS FOR OVEREATING ARE NOT ADDRESSED, IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THE WEIGHT WILL STAY OFF IN THE LONG TERM Food is an addiction just like any addictive behaviour. Many of you can relate to how many diets you have started, failed, hated, and started again, only to feel driven to eat compulsively again. The NUMBER 1 reason any addiction occurs, and why people eat when they are not hungry, is to fill an emotional emptiness. Eating can be used to cover emotions such as anger, loneliness, anxiety, hurt etc., and no amount of eating can fill this emotional need. You CAN experience success by addressing the emotional factors and blocks that prevent you from reaching your desired weight My weight loss programme does just this - addresses the cause rather than just the symptoms of overeating. Together we decide on an individual programme that works best for you. The progrmme may include factors such as the following: - Target and eliminate the underlying need or emotional factors that are fuelling eating.
- Explore and neutralize relevant past issues that may be attached to childhood traumas.
- Change unconscious and sometimes irrational beliefs about food and weight.
- Address any negative body image (and self esteem issues) that may contribute to a weight issue.
- Reduce immediate food cravings and obsessions.
- Target future situations that may trigger overeating.
- Learn to manage daily stress in a more comfortable way.
- Increase motivation to eat moderately and increase exercise.
You may only need to lose a few kilo, and find that a couple of sessions of positive suggestions is all you need. Or you may prefer a more comprehensive programme that addresses your particular needs. If you feel that your weight (and your life) is out of control, please call and discuss how you can get your life back in order and find long term success. |
