permanent weight loss

At bloom we understand from experience just how hard losing weight can be, in fact there's probably very few people who don't -  a recent study found that six in ten women are currently on a diet while one in five women are on a "continuous diet".  

You probably already know what type of food you should be eating, what types you should be avoiding, you most likely know too that regular exercise is crucial to maintaining weight loss....let's face it, losing weight is simple - in theory.

So what is stopping you from having the body, weight or lifestyle that you desire - hate to say it, but you are!

More specifically; 'you' refers to the beliefs you have about yourself, and the beliefs you have about food, these beliefs are formed over the years from the messages received from the adults around you when you were a child, as well as your own experiences.  

The beliefs you have form the very core of who you are - and most importantly what you do. Beliefs create thoughts, and the thoughts you are thinking (often unconsciously) create emotions. Thoughts also lead to action. 

If your beliefs are based upon unhelpful or even unhealthy examples set by others, especially those with great influence such as parents, then they will create nothing but unconstructive and unwanted thoughts, negative emotions, and unwanted behaviour.

Every time you put that chocolate bar, hot buttered toast or pizza into your mouth you will have been thinking thoughts which make the decision to eat inevitable. Every time you find yourself avoiding exercise thinking 'I'll start tomorrow', you have been thinking thoughts which make this decision inevitable. We all have an inner voice, and it's not often that it stops for breath!

How can we help you lose weight?

Until you address the self limiting thoughts that run through your mind, and the beliefs they are attached to (such as 'I was always fat as a child, I'll always be fat', 'it's impossible to shift baby weight', 'women over 50 are expected to have middle age spread') you are fighting a losing battle.

Every single thing you do - or don't - is carefully thought out and weighed up by your subconscious. If you grew up with your parents giving you sweet treats every time you were upset this is a powerful message one that your subconscious has well and truly taken on board. Whenever you are emotional you will be driven to soothe and 'stuff down' these emotions with what always worked as a child - food.

It does not matter how much, consciously, you want to lose weight; your subconscious will win out every single time. Years of hearing the same messages over and over again programme your mind to tell your body to behave in a certain way; limiting self-beliefs, negative self-talk and unhealthy beliefs about food are stopping you from being the person you want to be.

If you find yourself relating to any of the following....

  • are struggling to lose weight and keep it off
  • hate exercising
  • keep losing and gaining the same two pounds
  • have cravings for sweet or fatty food
  • feel like you will always be overweight
  • lack self-confidence and self-belief
  • are struggling to shift the baby weight
  • can't seem to control the urge to eat high-fat food
  • eat when you are stressed, miserable and bored
  • spend a lot of the day thinking about food and what you can and cannot eat
  • often feel like a failure

We can help! We can help you to remove or neutralise these unhelpful and often untrue beliefs about yourself and food, and we can replace them with positive, empowering and motivational beliefs which make you feel good about yourself and food.

Using clinical hypnotherapy, NLP, EFT, positive visualisation and various other psychotherapeutic modalities and techniques we can help you to transform yourself body and mind - permanently.

What should I expect?

We will go through a detailed consultation process to ensure that you receive a completely unique, individually tailored treatment strategy, all of the hypnosis scripts will be specific to your situation and needs making them so much more effective. Using various modalities such as NLP, and behavioural therapy we can figure out exactly what food does for you - whether it is something you indulge in while bored, or while watching TV, or perhaps the food you eat has more to do with your emotions, or the kind of day you have had.

We will ask you to fill out a food diary for one week - this is such an effective tool - it will make sure that we both know exactly what we are dealing with, it will highlight, which foods are your weakness, what time of day you usually eat or snack, who you are with when you do it, and most importantly how you are feeling while you eat and after you eat.

Hypnotherapy along with other techniques can help you to feel more positive about yourself and your body,  it can get you feeling motivated and energised, you will find yourself making healthier choices without even realising, and eating less whilst still feeling full and satisfied. Although it is important to point out - you are not on a diet, it's not about restriction - just balance and moderation. Feeling like you have to live life on a permanent diet of ryvita and crabsticks is enough to make anyone miserable - and miserable enough to give up before they've even begun. However you will instinctively know that if you induldge one day you will simply make much healthier choices the next day, you will not feel deprived or hungry, just in control and happy!
