The message is repeated many times because I am trying to be clear how I will help you with your weight loss goals.

You are going to be helped to lose weight naturally, not by depriving yourself of the foods you enjoy, not by starving yourself, not by worrying every minute of every day what you will eat but by changing the way you think, feel and behave towards food.

Chances are, you have tried diets before and have experienced the fluctuating results. Yes, you lose weight while on the diet but once you finish, the pounds just pile back on. This happens because you haven't modified your behaviour towards food and exercise, your emotional attachment to food has not been addressed and you have not learned how to maintain any weight loss you have achieved so once you finish a diet, you pile the pounds back on because your mindset has not been changed.

Some people get desperate and opt for surgery and there have many documented cases of people who have had a gastric band operation, only to request that it is reversed because of the emotional turmoil experienced after the operation.

This occurs because, although you have had a surgical procedure to limit the amount of food you can eat, you still have the same thoughts towards food and how you eat it. There have been cases of people who blend chocolate and sweets so they still can get the 'sugar fix'. This is a clear example, that if you want to lose weight naturally, you first need to address your thought processes towards food. Just think for a moment why diets have not been successful for you and see what answers you come up with.

You may have seen many adverts and websites promising you miracles. You may have seen adverts offering you pounds and stones of weight loss with just a couple of sessions of hypnotherapy. You have seen many diets promising you again, pounds and stones of weight loss by following an unsustainable eating plan.

These promises do not succeed for one reason and one reason only...they do not help you change the way you think about food and how you eat it

At The Life Change Wellbeing Clinic, Paul will help you change your attitude to food. You will learn to eat smaller portions and feel full quicker. You will also be helped to snack less and leave behind emotional snacking. You will develop an overall healthier relationship with food. Working together and utilising the techniques of cognitive behavioural therapy and hypnotherapy, you can achieve a steady and healthy weight loss without feeling deprived at any point.

You may have spent many years in turmoil worrying about your weight and how you can get rid of it. Now is the time to address all these negative thoughts, the negative experiences and learn how to achieve natural weight loss in a calming, realistic and achievable way.

Diets offer false hopes, some therapists offer unrealistic promises. What I offer you is simple; I will help you to achieve natural weight loss by addressing your sabotaging thoughts and releasing any emotional attachment to food you may have.

This process is natural and releases all the past and present emotional turmoil you may experience towards weight loss. Many scores of clients have been treated for natural weight loss at the Life Change Wellbeing Clinic with impressive results. These results are achieved because it does not pursue an unrealistic programme. The programme helps you achieve weight loss naturally by addressing your thoughts and behaviours and by doing so, bringing about change in your thoughts and attitudes in a calming and effective way.

Cognitive behavioural therapy for weight loss

If you want to lose weight and make the changes you make permanent, then you need to change how you think about food. With all the diets you have been on and the slimming clubs you have joined you will not have been helped to address your thought processes towards food and how you eat it. This is why these diets and slimming clubs set you up for failure. Again, if you try and make yourself do something without addressing your negative thought processes, you will not succeed. Diets, slimming clubs and some therapy programmes try to make you do something that you are ill prepared for. At the Life Change Clinic you will be helped methodically to change your attitudes towards food and how you eat it.

You cannot be made to do anything. Hypnotherapy, as some promise, doesn't suddenly make you stop eating. Hypnotherapy helps you in your desire for change but doesn't make things happen unless your mind is in the right frame of mind and as dicussed above, even a surgical gastric band doesn't change your desire to eat the wrong foods.

Diets do not suddenly change the way you eat. Diets just compound how miserable you feel about yourself and food because strict dieting just sets you up for failure. Diets do help you with healthier choices but do not set you up for a sustainable eating plan. The only way you will change the way you eat is to change the way you think, feel and behave towards food and you will be helped to create new thought processes at the Life Change Wellbeing Clinic.

Cognitive behavioural therapy for weight loss helps you to look at the sabotaging thoughts you have. Sabotaging thoughts encourage you to do exactly the opposite of what you want.

An example of sabotaging thoughts towards food and eating

• 'I can't waste the food on the plate'. (Although eating the food will make you eat more than you want)
  
• 'I have never been successful at losing weight'. (telling yourself you are a failure)
  
• 'I deserve a snack'. (Implying that food will somehow reward you).
  
• 'I'm bored'. (Implying that eating will help to fill a void).
  
• 'I'm lonely'. (Implying that eating will keep you company).
  
• 'I don't have time to prepare a healthy meal'.
• 'I have had a biscuit so I've ruined my diet so I might as well eat some more'. (This is what happens when you are on a strict diet plan where you deprive yourself of the foods you enjoy or where, in your own mind, that certain foods are strictly forbidden).
  
• 'I hate having to exercise'. (We can conjure up in our mind that exercise means doing an hour at the gym every day or going running and walking for long periods. Exercise can be enjoyable if you find an exercise you enjoy and encourage it to be time limited).

This is just a small selection of sabotaging thoughts you might have towards food which sabotage your goals and hopes. You may also believe that food does something for you. 'The chocolate makes me feel good'. You would be encouraged to look at the validity of such thoughts because at this moment, you will believe them as fact but when you challenge the thoughts and their validity you will be able to create a more realistic outcome.

I am sure you have your own list of sabotaging thoughts which stop you achieving your goal of having a sensible relationship with food. In the clinic, you will be helped to break down your own individual sabotaging thoughts so that the beliefs you currently have about food will get challenged so that you will be in a much better position to realise your goal of losing weight naturally, without fuss, without deprivation and achieving it in such a way that you can maintain the life style changes you will make.

Releasing your emotional attachment to food

As well as having many sabotaging thoughts which stop you achieving your goals, another reason why you have not previously been successful is that you may harbour an emotional attachment to food. Again, surgical procedures and diets do not address this issue. Hypnotherapy and the gastric band procedures with hypnosis, alone, do not address the issue of sabotaging thoughts and emotional attachments to food. You cannot make behavioural changes, unless you have first created positive thought patterns about making those changes.

When your mind is in the right frame of mind to embark on the life style changes you wish to make, the results can be quite astounding without the grapples of self doubt and creating the belief that you will be successful. With the effective weight loss programme at the Life Change Wellbeing Clinic, you will be helped to make that success a reality for yourself.

We will work together to establish your own specific emotional attachments to food and with the skills of cognitive behavioural therapy, you will break down the thought processes which encourage the emotional attachment.

When you release the emotional attachment to food which currently sabotages your wishes, you will find that making the right choices for yourself so much easier to make without the feelings of being deprived

With this programme to lose weight you will learn to;

• Eat Smaller Portions
• Snack Less Between meals
• Eat When You're Hungry Not When Your Mind Tells You To
• Recognise The Full Feeling
• Find Time To Exercise
• Choose to not eat certain foods at the wrong times rather than telling yourself you can't have it. (This is a very important aspect of this weight loss programme. With diets, surgical procedures and slimming clubs you tell yourself that you cannot have something and this is where the battle lies. If you tell yourself you can't have something you are going to want it more. You should be able to eat whatever you like and this boils down to having the choice. If you choose to do something then it is easier to do than if you tell yourself to not do it. The cognitive behavioural therapy techniques you will learn will help you to address this).
  
• And most importantly...Release Your Emotional Attachment To Food
  

Cognitive behavioural therapy is recommended by the NHS as an effective therapeutic intervention to bring about behavioural change and equally encouraged in it's use by NICE, (The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence). Paul is an approved member of the NHS Trust Register as well as the government supported Complimentary and Natural Healthcare Council, (CNHC), so you can be sure that you will be receiving the very best of therapy available to help you release your emotional attachment to food.

Cognitive behavioural therapy for weight loss applied by Paul at the Life Change Wellbeing Clinic focuses on the thinking patterns and behaviours that are triggering and sustaining your sabotaging thoughts towards food and how you eat it. You will be effectively helped to challenge your negative thoughts which will bring about the beneficial behavioural change you desire and this will be achieved in attainable easy steps.

CBT is very pro-active in helping achieve behavioural change so that any emotional attachment towards food you have will be released. Long after our brief therapy has finished you will be in possession of an array of tools to help you manage your sabotaging thoughts and continue on the path of maintaining a healthy relationship with food without the constant worries of weight loss.

How does hypnotherapy help with weight loss?

Once you have learned how to address your thought processes so that you are in the right frame of mind to make the behavioural changes you desire, hypnotherapy suggestion therapy will be used to help re-enforce your new conscious thoughts. With constant repetition of the suggestions being heard your mind will be much more susceptible to make the changes you want to make so that the constant struggle with weight loss you have previously experienced can be left behind. These live in clinic, personalised hypnotherapy sessions will be recorded so that you have the sessions to listen to in the comfort of your own home which will further enhance your desire to change.

Cognitive behavioural therapy for weight loss is very effective in creating sustainable behavioural change and hypnotherapy for weight loss is equally effective in breaking down subconscious habits...combine them together and they become very powerful methods to help you achieve your goal of losing weight naturally and maintaining that weight loss.
