I have been helping the people of Cheshire & Greater Manchester lose weight with hypnotherapy for quite some time. What I have noticed is that people who are happy with their weight and keep to a healthy weight don't actually try. They just do things a certain way. The formula for success is actually easy and it's the same formula being used again and again. It's actually all about "habits" and the best way of controlling habits is with hypnotherapy and counselling.

Do you want to stop going round in circles trying to break old habits?
I believe that diets don’t work on a long term basis; they are temporary by their very nature. You need to deal with the emotions involved in what I call ‘dis-comfort eating’ and the subsequent habits that are formed.

Why is that chocolate biscuit singing ‘eat me’ at the same time every night?
Why do I drink lots of alcohol when I feel stressed – which is most of the time nowadays?
What is underneath your eating patterns?

Until you discover them and resolve them you will be caught in the temporary cycle of diet and weight gain. Using counselling once you have discovered this and are able to break the habits of fasting eating, large portions and snacking then weight loss is a natural result of a lifestyle change. No need to obsess about diets – which causes stress – which causes ‘dis-comfort eating’ – which causes weight gain.

The reason hypnotherapy is such a powerful tool for weight loss is its potential to help you build new healthy habits. This is ideal for easy, natural weight loss because it deals with the emotions that cause habits to form subconsciously.

Hypnotherapy can help with weight loss and weight management in many ways by:-

• Developing a new self image. Improving your self esteem and confidence, you are worth more than your current self image, you are only hurting yourself perhaps because you don’t feel you deserve to be slim and fit?
  
  
• Learn to be more relaxed about weight loss and weight management. Stress is often a serious factor in bad diet and ‘dis-comfort’ eating.
  
  
• Positive thinking about weight and diet. Stop worrying about your weight, it’s the worrying that hurts and causes the cycle to start again!
  
  
• Create a self-fulfilling prophecy. In other words, start to feel better about yourself. This will help you to lose weight and, of course, losing weight will help you to feel even better about who you are and what you can achieve. The whole thing becomes a very positive cycle which goes round and round. Most people expect to have to lose weight in order to feel good about themselves. Interestingly, when you start to feel good about yourself, weight loss, health and happiness often follow.

Losing weight and keeping it off are much, much easier than you probably think...
The healthiest way to lose weight is not the quickest way to lose weight. Crash diets and new, trendy weight loss plans or sudden and drastic increases in exercise are not recommended and most doctors consider such an approach to weight loss to be dangerous.

Most people, when they look back at their weight loss history find that over time they are actually putting weight on. What a contradiction!

So isn’t it time to look at how weight loss is affected by your emotions and change the habits and cravings. If you live in Stockport, Cheshire or Greater Manchester now is the time to give me a call and find out how counselling and hypnotherapy can help you lose weight.
