I will make you slim!

With Christmas looming upon us I thought it would be rather festive to write about something that's very dear to many people's hearts: food. Not only is food an essential part to our survival, but we are so lucky to have many varieties to choose from. Most of us can categorize ourselves into one of the two sorts: you either eat to live, or live to eat. If you can associate yourself with the latter type you may experience some of the problems I am going to talk about. I class people who overeat into three types: you are either the boredom eater, the emotional eater or the binge eater. Then you do get the occasional one or two who claim that they aren't any of these types, and that they just like the sensation of food in their mouth. Now, although I can understand how one can enjoy the sensation of say, chocolate in their mouth, there is a big difference between enjoying the taste of chocolate to demolishing a whole 250g Cadbury's Dairy Milk in one sitting, and consequently feeling a tremendous amount of guilt afterwards. You probably end up questioning yourself: "Why did I have to eat all of that? How greedy of me. Now I feel sick and I can't move, all because I love the taste of chocolate!"
Familiar feeling? I thought so. Well, just to let you know, you are not alone. In fact, chocolate 'addiction' is very common. And overeating anything in general is also, very common.
The reason many people suffer with their weight is because they become 'addicted' to certain foods. But it's not only the food itself they are 'addicted' to, it's also the feelings associated with that particular type of food that they become 'addicted' to. Overeating can therefore turn into a bad habit and it's very difficult to break that cycle because your subconsious mind has been programmed to overeat. How many times for example,have you consciously wanted to stop eating in excess, but still continue to bolt food down your mouth? That's your subconscious mind at work; once its taken on board a habit, it's very difficult to consciously break.
If you are overweight, you have probably struggled with your weight all your life. You have probably tried every diet going and failed miserably, everytime. Because the fact of the matter is, you know as well as I do that diets simply don't work!
So, where are we going with all of this? Well, as I mentioned earlier your subconscious mind has been PROGRAMMED by way of HABIT. You have become addicted to food because you have reinforced a habit of overeating so many times that your subconscious mind has accepted that overeating is a necessity to your being. Your subconscious mind has no idea what is a good or bad habit. So when you reinforce something over and over your subconscious mind assumes that's what you want and it's going to stick!
So, what is needed here is something that can bypass the subconscious mind, to reprogram old, negative beliefs about food and to get your subconscious mind to start agreeing with your conscious mind. And that very special, almost magical tool, is hypnotherapy. If you want to lose weight and you are ready to stop overeating once and for all, you should almost certainly get in touch.
