Weight Management

Trying to lose weight can be a long, frustrating, challenging and often overwhelming journey. It may seem like we are constantly reminded about the importance of being a healthy weight, as well as ways in which to achieve this, through commercial products and companies, television advertising and social media.

In general, we know what we need to do – eat less fatty and sugary foods, eat smaller portions, exercise and so on – but some people can struggle to do it. So why do some people struggle to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight?

Reasons why people struggle:

There are many reasons for this. As soon as someone mentions the word ‘diet’ it can feel like we are being deprived of something. People may decide or be advised to avoid certain foods, which can then lead to them craving the exact foods they are trying not to eat; there can be a childlike part of us whereby as soon as we are told not to do something we instantly want to do it! Some people may struggle to manage their portion sizes and therefore overeat. Other common reasons include eating when bored or when feeling emotional. These are all struggles that people can experience on a daily basis. One of the big challenges with many diets is that if a person has ‘broken the rules’ of the diet and had a ‘bad’ day, they can then feel guilty and ashamed, which increases the desire to comfort eat; a cycle of ‘yoyo’ dieting can develop and a sense of being out of control.

What is needed to be successful?

Rather than focusing on restriction and giving up certain things, what is needed is to focus on the how and the why an individual is struggling to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. The problem is the way in which the individual thinks: they have formed a negative mindset around their relationship with food as well as their relationship with themselves. Unless this is explored and resolved any unwanted behaviour will continue.

How we can help:

We offer weight management programmes, which incorporate hypnotherapy, NLP and life coaching. These are tailored to meet your specific needs and wants and focuse on putting you back in control. By working with you on your relationships with food and with yourself at a subconscious level, together we will change these permanently; we will create new positive relationships that will help you lose weight naturally and healthily. Our programmes incorporate some or all of the following:

• Looking at why you want to lose weight and your personal struggles
• Considering your triggers to unwanted behaviours
• Exploring your patterns of behaviour and lifestyle choices
• Support and help regarding your personal motivation
• Helping you break through any barriers
• Putting you back in control
• Changing the ways in which you think about food and yourself – permanently
• Enabling you to feel confident in yourself and your own abilities
• Access to a nutritionist should you wish to see one
