Thanks everyone....... i'm feeling quite good at the moment...

Sometimes the cause of the overeating has to be treated before any type of weightloss will be perminant. Sadly I understand how hard that it...

 

Could he not use his LL money for some therapy instead????

 

Dare I say it? He's a bloke, he's not really into any psychobabble or anything. He does realise that he overeats for a reason be it stress or boredom. His mum used to insist that they all ate everything off their plates (something I don't do because of him).

 

I've just started trying to cook us Weight Watcher meals, I spoke to him last night about him doing it properly and counting the points (we have it on-line) as I think if he puts everything down it might make him think. Trouble is this was after he'd eaten the WW meal I'd cooked, followed by 2 caramel eggs and a slice of cake .

 

I think you have done so well, I wish it would work for him.

[WitchHazel]

Well done, it's great that this has worked for you.

I am really interested in this. I am a member of slimming world and do lose weight but I find that I then begin to sabotage myself. So I am still eating all the healthy stuff then topping up too with stuff I dont really want and it certainly doesn't make me feel good. I would summarise it as my subconscious self ruining it and there are definite times that are worse.

 

Can I just ask though is it just a few sessions or do you need to continue to go. And how do you find someone as I am not anywhere near you. Would you also mind indicating what is the kind of cost involved (pm if that is too personal)

 

Thanks

A friend of mine is a hypnotherapist and charges £55/session, which usually lasts around 1.5 hours. I understand that prices vary wildly.

 

I have to admit to being the world's biggest cynic about this sort of thing, but agreed to let him work on me once. He managed to put me into a meditative state far deeper than any I'd achieved while meditating myself, and when I came out of it, i was more relaxed than I'd ever been. If that can happen to a disbeliever like me then I can see that it could be a powerful tool in the right hands.

I think she is charging around the £200 mark for a set number of sessions. I went for 2 consecutive weeks, then left it a month for a top up and then again after a few months.

 

She has showed me how to tweak it myself if needed as she knows I do mediation.

 

I have some friends who have been, with good results, some better than me. Men of course always loose weight faster

 

I found that I stopped sabbotaging myself as it's something that she worked on with me at the same time, as in the past that has been my problem.

 

I don't like to harp on too much, but I am pleased that at this moment in time it's working for me, and it feels like it could be a long term achievement, where as before I think i've been unrealistic in my weight goals, therefore setting myself up for failure!

Very well done ,

 

This all sounds very interesing

[Cinnamon]

I am very interested in this - even got as far as contacting a practitioner last year but lack of funds held me back.

 

However,I have just had a bonus,so maybe now is the time to take the plunge?

 

I am worried about finding a reputable practitioner though - any suggestions?

[quickcluck]

they do have to be registered to practice, then it's just finding one that does banding if that's your focus. have you google hypno bands in your area?

[Cinnamon]

I have - the company 'Hypno-Band' have several in the area & 2 in Henley.

Did you use a company like this or go to a private practitioner?

 

Both do free half hour consultations,so I think I will book myself in for that.

[quickcluck]

I went to a private practitioner. She had a script that she followed which went through a physical banding procedure. Then she personalized it to my needs.
