A Permanent end to Emotional Eating.

“Food is commonly used to mask issues that are occurring at a much deeper level; used to fill a void.”

5 ways you can start to shift your mindset:

Visualise daily how it feels to be the size you would like to be; make an inspiration board, or just close your eyes and really imagine yourself there now.
List all the rewards you will find when you reach your goal; (health, energy, confidence, relationships)
Make small changes and build on them each day (start with walking for 20 minutes a day, decrease your portion sizes or substitute high fat foods with healthier options)
Talk to yourself kindly; take note of how you talk to yourself and commit to being on your own cheer squad.
Be in it for the long haul. Doing it properly will take longer but it will also last a lifetime.

Clinical Hypnotherapist Kim High says hypnotherapy can effectively help people who find themselves emotionally eating and change their behaviour in a short period of time.
“Sometimes people that come to see me for weight loss are happy, healthy and just have some bad habits that need to be broken. More commonly, people find they are constantly failing at weight loss attempts, motivation seems impossible to sustain and they eat for emotional reasons”.
“Some people believe that losing weight will make them happy when actually being happy is what makes weight loss easier (and more permanent)”
“It is more powerful to treat the cause of the eating patterns and that is where hypnotherapy can be very effective for long lasting change. A lot of these saboteurs are happening sub-consciously. The problem may actually come from low self-esteem, limiting self-beliefs or an issue or event from the past. It is important to treat the problem properly rather than quickly.”
