Dietin’ Ain’t Easy   August 26 2010   4 Commented

Comfort Food

In my 35 years of doing hypnotherapy one of the biggest obstacles to a successful weight loss, I mean the extra pounds came off and stayed off, is run away emotions.  People feed their unhappy emotions with comfort food. It’s an addiction and a diet will ultimately fail.

Only a few people get past this dieting hurdle without professional help.  Someone that understands that the emotional issues need some resolution before the pounds can come off and stay off.

With someone wracked with emotions either from the past or in the present day a diet is not going to be successful.  Will power weakens as the emotions keep slamming into their psyche and soon enough they give up only to get fat again or never try dieting again because it’s too painful.

Eating As A Bad Habit

Rejoice if you’re not one of the emotional eaters. All you have to resolve are lots of overeating bad habits. Most people fit in this category and can, over time, with support, achieve their goal to lose the extra weight.  That is IF they don’t get bored with the diet program or just plain give up because it’s a lot of work to try not to think of your favorite foods. Especially when others are eating “those yummy” condiments.

Bad Habits are many. Making wrong choices, eating more than one helping, snacking, sweets and so much more. Bad habits can be turned into a proper eating lifestyle.

    I am cursed with a sweet tooth and I am what is considered to be a “grazer”. How can you help me with this situation? I am told that gaining weight is a physcological issue and that if we study it long enough we can often determine why we gain weight. In my case, this may be true. All my life I was a “thin” person, with an overly ample bossom. After 3 divorces, my self esteem took a pretty hard hit. Then I met the man to whom I am currently married (20 years) and “decided” that if I was as fat as my boobs were big, no other man would ever want to give me a second glance and therefore I would not be put in a position that might make my husband jealeous. Ok, 20 years later, I have gained 80 pounds since we got married. I want my pre-wedding body back. I have tried every diet known to man and have been successful loosing the weight, as long as I stayed on the diet. Everytime I went off the diet I gained all my weight back plus an extra 10pounds. I want to get the weight off BUT I want to keep it off. How can you help me do this and how much do you charge per session? Cost is a factor as to wether I can do this or not. Most sincerely, Melonnie Johnson
