Hypnotherapy for weight loss?

[Carolwithane]

Does anyone have any experience of using hypnosis as an aid to weight loss? I'd be grateful for any experience you could share either good or bad.

I have a considerable amount of weight to lose and have tried various diets in the past with varying success but obviously nothing sustainable

A recent combination of pregnancy, age (I'm 43) and bereavement have sent my weight soaring. Despite this I can't seem to motivate myself to be able to do anything about it. Lots of mindless and emotional eating with plenty of I'll start tomorrow......

Hi OP, definitely try it. I’m biased as I’m a hypnotherapist but my results for weight loss are brilliant and my clients keep the weight off. We work with the subconscious and reprogram behaviour patterns. One of my clients went from eating 18 bars of chocolate in a week to eating just 1 after only one session of hypnotherapy. Give it a go and judge for yourself. If you look at the website for the Association of Solution Focused Hypnotherapists you can find one you’d like to work with. Many do an initial free consultation.

Thank you for the advice. I was wondering about the best place to start looking for someone reputable. I believe it can be expensive so want to try and find a good match, an initial free consultation might be useful

I know it's not a quick fix or a miracle cure but I feel I need something to kick start and remotivate me. Maybe I just need permission to focus on myself for a while
