Wondering why you can’t lose weight no matter what you try?
“I can never lose weight.”
“If I lose weight I put it all straight back on again.”
“I’m addicted to sugar and junk food and can’t stop eating the wrong things when I’m emotional or tired.”
Does this sound familiar?
Our brains are complex and much of how they operate is programmed in when we are very young as a result of what we learn, our experiences and our environments.
We actually have around 70,000 thoughts a day but only 5% of these are conscious. The other 95% come from our subconscious mind which is acting in what it believes is in our best interests.
Unfortunately the subconscious mind uses the old information that was programmed into us as youngsters and is now out-of-date. This is what often lies at the root cause of poor eating habits.
The good news is help is at hand. I’m a Psychologist and Clinical Hypnotherapist specialising in Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT). Read on to learn four simple ways that RTT can change your thought pattens and help you to lose weight and live a long-term healthier lifestyle.
1. Become the leader of your own mind
Our subconscious thoughts drive our daily thoughts and habits. RTT teaches you to “take control” of your subconscious mind so you are able to tell it what you want and stop it from “taking over” and controlling you.
2. Learn to “switch off” your interest in certain foods
RTT can change your likes and dislikes. A few weeks ago I had a client who said she was “addicted” to junk food but that she knew she didn’t want to eat it, she just couldn’t break the habit.
During the session we uncovered the root-cause of her habit, and “updated” her neural programming’ so that she could re-install the healthy habits she’d had as a teenager when she was very sporty and healthy.
The client now can’t stand the thought of certain junk foods and hasn’t eaten them since.
3. Become motivated to exercise
As young children we are hard-wired to move and play and run around.
This instinct can dim over-time, but it doesn’t need to! RTT can rewire your brain to remember the fun you used to have when you exercised.
A recent client has returned to her childhood activities of swimming, dancing and hoola hooping and she feels so much healthier, lighter and happier because she’s using her body to have fun again!
4. Uncover the root cause
Our subconscious mind only has one job, which is to keep us safe and alive so it is always “acting in our best interests” even when we don’t feel like it is!
As children food can be one of very few things we can “control” and so the root-cause of over-eating, sugar addiction, under-eating, bingeing, being secretive about food, craving or disliking certain foods etc is rooted in our childhood experiences, especially if we experience a chaotic, sad or traumatic childhood in some way.
Once my clients have understood the relationship they formed with food and eating as a young child, they can set themselves free from old “out of date” habits that are just not relevant any more.
