Weight Loss

One of the most complex and enduring areas of therapy and personal development is weight loss. Every year around 34 million people in the UK – around 70% of the adult population – try to lose weight, spending £10 billion on commercial diets in the process.

Research by the University of Bristol shows that diets and weight loss programmes do work, but, only if you stick to them! And that seems to be the problem for most people.

Your Attitude towards weight

Well actually it’s quite a complicated issue. Firstly, everyone needs food to live, so unlike smoking you can’t say goodbye to it forever!!

We tend to develop quite well established relationships with food, beginning in childhood. When we go on a diet we’re trying to go against those established patterns, and it’s all too easy to slip up, lose heart and give up. …hence the Yo Yo dieting regime …loose a few pounds, gain a few pounds.

So we need to look at what you eat, how much, when, how often, and why.
Why do you eat? Well it’s probably not because you’re actually hungry. When you really think about it, how often have you been really starving hungry? We tend to eat because it’s time to eat, because we ‘fancy’ something, or because it makes us feel better when we feel sad, lonely, angry, resentful… otherwise known as comfort eating. We may also have old, redundant food habits imposed on us from childhood. Do you remember when you were told ‘you can’t have any pudding until you clear your plate’ Once you understand why you eat, it makes changing those patterns that much easier to do.

It’s a lifestyle thing

As well as your diet we’ll be looking at all the other factors that play a part in losing or gaining weight. It could be that occasional glass of wine has become a bottle too many nights a week! Now you can’t seem to function without it…and all those extra calories.

Or exercise, for example, isn’t top of everyone’s list, but it’ll speed up the process considerably, and improve fitness, muscle tone and posture.

So if it’s as basic as just a 30 minute walk a day to put into your routine or if you want to get to the gym but just can’t seem to find the motivation, Mind Solutions I can help you get there….

So how does it all work for me?

  • We’ll talk about your current size or weight, diet and lifestyle
  • Set realistic goals for how much you want to lose over how long
  • Decide what changes you want to make to achieve those goals
  • Help you to make those lifestyle changes using NLP and hypnotherapy
  • Monitor your progress and provide further support and therapy at regular intervals.

Einstein said that ‘there are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle or you can live as if everything is a miracle. Really it’s up to you. The thoughts you have determine the results that you get in your life.’

 

 

Mind Solutions will give you the opportunity to reassess your attitude towards food, and help establish new habits and positive thought processes.

It will usually take 4 to 6 sessions over a three month period, where you will receive constant support from Sally .

Testimonial

Des May 2011

Contacted Sally via a reccomendation from a friend, had given up smoking and gradually put on weight over the years to a degree where the extra weight affected my joints and was making me depressed with how I had become. Sally has helped me to stop snacking throughout the day and the weight is now actually coming off for the first time in years. We are now looking at improving my exercise regime and I am now confident that I will lose even more weight on a gradual basis.
