Are you in a cycle of comfort eating when you’re sad, worried, stressed, tired? Is your relationship with food not as you would like it to be? You are not alone….
Achieving and maintaining your ideal weight varies from person to person. Some may aim to lose a few pounds or stones, while others might seek to gain weight. Those dealing with eating disorders like Anorexia, Bulimia, or Binge Eating often face more complex needs.
One constant is that fad diets usually offer only temporary results and can even be counterproductive leading often to more weight gain. To reach and sustain your ideal weight, it’s essential to shift your perspective on food.
There is also research to show how high levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) contribute to weight gain. This article explains more and is a very interesting read with food for thought (excuse the pun!) Stressed Out Belly: Causes, Risks, Treatment, and Prevention (healthline.com)
How can Hypnotherapy help?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can support weight management by addressing the psychological factors influencing eating habits and motivation. Through relaxation and guided imagery, we can work together to develop a positive mindset towards healthy eating and exercise. As Solutions Focused Hypnotherapy focuses on solutions rather than problems, it allows the space for you to adopt sustainable habits and reinforces self-control. Hypnotherapy can also help manage cravings and emotional eating by promoting a balanced perspective on food and body image. By setting realistic goals and visualising success, you can gain confidence and motivation, making it easier to maintain long-term weight management and achieve a healthier lifestyle.
