Have your cake and eat it

Hello. My name is Wendy, and I’m a food addict. There. I’ve said it.

When I tried hypnotherapy for weight loss many years ago I was lucky enough to encounter a lovely lady called Marguerite who practised quite near to where I lived. That first experience was really positive, and, armed with a recorded cassette (those were the days) I managed to lose a quite substantial amount of weight, which has stayed off. This was around 20 years ago.

I had no idea what to expect from the hypnotherapy, but was surprised and delighted with how good it made me feel, and how I lost weight so easily. Not only that I established a really healthy relationship with food which has continued to this day. No more bingeing, no more fad diets, in fact enjoying food more than I ever had in the past.

As I get older, it does seem that the metabolism grinds to a halt, and I need a little bit less than I did 20 years ago, but I am happy that I can still fit into size 12 clothes. I will never be a skinny minny, but I think I have accepted and embraced the body shape that I was born with.

When I see clients for weight loss now, it is really important that we look at the long-term view, making smart changes to our lifestyle which will make a positive difference for good. My own view – as a self-confessed foodie – is that food can still be enjoyed, it is one of those pleasant things that we do that can make us feel good – but by making small changes, keeping an eye on portions, having a food diary, upping our activity levels, we can also make sure that we achieve and keep to a healthy weight.

The hypnotherapy treatment seems to take us back to our ‘sensible self’ who actually knows exactly what to do in order to get to our ideal shape and weight, as well as making us feel incredibly relaxed and positive, and no longer needing to eat for emotional reasons.

If you are fed up with the endless diets, not losing weight and beating yourself up when you can’t fit into summer clothes, let me help you find the ‘sensible self’ within. We can work together to help you to be the person that you want to be. You will never look back.

My very best wishes for a wonderful Easter,
Wendy x
