Okay, to be fair I only started reading the freedom from emotional eating book yesterday and have just done the dvd for the first time today. It is supposed to change the habits we have wrt eating food in order to cope with our emotions.
The dvd involves lots of imagining that you are walking on a beach with PM, stroking one's arms and counting to 20. So far so good. But is it normal to really struggle with this?
I got the giggles during the cd bit - kept thinking it was a bit silly and woo. I fell asleep so am hoping that if it is not total bollocks, that some of it sank in!
With the dvd, I kept getting distracted, picturing Paul walking beside me on the beach in a Hawaiian (sp?) shirt and admiring my toe nail varnish. I kept pucturing myself wearing an ankle bracelet even though my mum said they were an old fashioned indicator that someone was a prostitute because I was bored of looking at my feet in my day dream!
Does this mean I just have a really crappy attention span or am I immune to this technique on the grounds that I think it is a bit silly. Or is this what happens to everyone.
Has anyone lost weight using hypnosis and do I need to be physically in the same room as the hypnotist? I wouldn't want to be rude and get the giggles irl.
