HYPNOTHERAPY HYPNOSIS THERAPY FOR EMOTIONAL EATERS: ARE YOU AN EMOTIONAL EATER? Do your emotions get in the way of your eating habits? If so, you may be an emotional overeater. Do you often find yourself sitting on the settee, stuffing yourself with chocolate or biscuits and mulling over a rough day? Or is bread or toast the first thing you reach for when you're feeling emotional? Have you ever felt so happy about being at a social gathering that you threw your diet to the wind and ate a huge piece of cheesecake? If you answered yes to any of the above, you may be an emotional overeater. The eating patterns of emotional overeaters are ruled by their emotions rather than by hunger which causes them to have a problem with weight control. Diets will NOT work for emotional eaters. These people eat for reasons other than physical hunger, turning to food when they are stressed out, upset, anxious or excited. The result is a loss of control over what they eat, when they eat it and excessive calorie consumption. This cycle results in weight gain and subsequent depression, leading to more overeating etc.etc. We're all emotional eaters to some extent. We live in a food-orientated society where eating is an integral part of celebrations and a fundamental aspect of family life. But how much emotional eating is too much? Simply put, it's when it interferes with your health and happiness. Traditional dieting and weight loss strategies don't work for emotional eaters, because the psychological aspects of weight control aren't fully addressed by most diet plans. Many programs don't deal with self-sabotage and the real reasons we throw ourselves off track.
In his book Fattitudes,
American clinical psychiatrist Dr Jeffrey R Wilbert addresses the problem of
diet sabotage and emotional overeating. He describes the need to discover the
hidden emotional triggers that drive us to eat, and to understand the
‘food-feelings’ connection that makes balanced eating (and subsequently weight
loss) so difficult. Click here to see how hypnotherapy can help you to lose weight. |
WHAT CLIENTS SAY:
"Today
has been totally different with no hunger or thought for food –
amazing!" M.G. "My whole outlook has changed considerably. Before we met, as you know, food was my main focus in life, whereas eating has now become something that happens ‘as & when’ without any second thoughts. My intake has dropped considerably, yet I am always full! Some days I will have a bit more of something & other days less" A.M.
