Think about it, how many times are you actually hungry when you eat? We live in a society that allows time to determine when we should eat, not allowing room for the normal body clock to make decisions. Or perhaps you work in an organisation that provides or allows you access to delicious smelling bread or cakes. Your mind can make you want to eat because you are prompted by the smell or the sight of something delicious but if you had no sense of smell or were blind, you wouldn’t have eaten it! You are eating with all your senses – the smells of certain breads will transport me to my grandmother’s kitchen and the lovely smell of baking. With hypnotherapy you are learning about your conditioned responses to eating – you are happy, you celebrate with a meal, you feel down you console yourself with chocolate or biscuits, you don’t know how you feel something tasty will change your mood. All food is doing is adding fat to your body. Food does not comfort, does not hold you tight. How many times have you celebrated weight loss with a big meal of your “forbidden” foods because you had reached your target weight. What if you could train your mind to only think and prompt you about food when you were hungry? What would that be like? What would it be like to choose exactly what your body wanted your to eat (not your mind, your body)? Would that seem like some sci-fi movie? Think about the life you would have, the freedom, the room in your mind to think about more productive things. What would that be worth to you?
With hypnotherapy we can uncover the reason for the emotional eating, the empty feeling to be filled and find better, positive ways to reframe and reprogramme how you feel about food.
