Why Do I Find It Difficult To Maintain Weight Loss?
The main reason one does not maintain weight loss after a diet is because the emotional attachment to food has not been addressed. Very often we overeat or eat the wrong foods because we are reacting in a negative way to events and using food in a way that we think is of benefit or comfort. You may not think you have an emotional attachment to food but think to yourself and ask the question why the many diets you have been on have not been successful? Diets help you to lose weight but they do not help you keep the weight off.
This Is a Very Thorough Weight Loss Programme. You Will Learn The Skills That Will Enable You To;
Put an end to emotional eating. Resist tempting foods. Make cravings go away...and stay away. Say, "No, thank you," to food pushers. Find time to exercise...and enjoy it! Deal with eating triggers.Lose weight and keep it off for a lifetime!
What Therapeutic Model Is Used To Help Me Lose Weight?The main therapeutic model which is used for your weight reduction programme is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. CBT was pioneered by Aaron T. Beck and has become a worldwide model for behavioural change.

On Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
You will also be helped to achieve your weight loss goals with Hypnotherapy. Whilst Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps you change negative dysfunctional thinking towards food and exercise, Hypnotherapy for weight loss helps to fix the subconscious blocks you experience when trying to lose weight. These blocks often occur when there is an emotional attachment to food. Some people eat the wrong foods as a comfort to negative stimuli. If this is the case with you then the Hypnotherapy sessions will help to release your emotional attachment to food.
Hypnotherapy is validated by the British Medical Association,(BMA), as an orthodox treatment and not merely a complimentary practice. Hypnotherapy is one of the oldest treatments around but unfortunately stage shows have given people misconceptions as to what hypnosis is. Some people think that they lose control of their faculties or that they are asleep. Some people think that they will be made to say things they do not want to say. All these misconceptions are far from what hypnosis is. Hypnotherapy is one of the most powerful therapeutic treatments to help empower rapid change. During the hypnotherapy sessions you are infact, in a state of heightened awareness. That is why this form of therapy is so effective because we are able to establish the root of all problems where they are burried...the subconscious mind. Hypnotherapy faq's.

How Does This Programme Differ To Others?
This weight reduction programme differs to others because it is not designed as a quick fix to lose a few pounds. With Cognitive behavioural Therapy it aims to change your cognitive thought processes, something which normal diets do not address. You cannot achieve sustainable weight loss unless your thoughts and attitudes towards weight loss and eating change. You will learn how to eat healthier. You will learn how to motivate yourself everyday and stay motivated and you will learn how to create time and energy for your diet and how to solve diet related problems.
How Long Does The Programme Last For?
This weight reduction programme last for approximately 6 weeks but because you will have changed the way in which you think, feel and behave towards food and exercise the results will last for a lifetime. You will learn a new skill to achieve permanent, natural weight loss on each of the 42 days. As mentioned above, this programme is very thorough and aims to change the way you think, feel and behave towards food and exercise. For the first 2 weeks you will not even start on the eating part of the diet.
The reason for this is that in order to achieve lasting weight loss you need to learn the skills that will make your diet a success. You need to learn to think like a thin person first. Long term weight loss is not just about knowing what to eat, that is just a small part of it. In the first two weeks you will be practising the new skills which will eventually become part of your every day life. Some of the techniques are so effective, you may even find yourself losing weight even before you start the diet. It is important that you do not start dieting until you learn the new skills of thinking like a thin person. If you do , you may find it too challenging. Again, you will remember when you have been on diets before how hard they were to maintain. This is because you had not learnt the skills to maintain your new behaviour change. Although this weight reduction programme does involve devising healthy meals for yourself, as much emphasis is placed on changing your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes towards food, eating and exercise.
Think about other changes you may have made in your life. For example, when you started to learn to drive. You had to learn the skills one at a time and had to practice them over and over until you got good at them until you had the confidence in your ability to drive safely. Its the same with dieting and achieving permanent weight loss, you need to learn how to change your cognitive thought processes and learn certain new skills to develop confidence in your ability to use them consistently.
I will work with you methodically to help you on the path to losing weight naturally, in a healthy way, in a way which is acceptable, achievable and maintainable.

In order to achieve permanent and natural weight loss,
your 100% committment will be required.I do not make any rash promisses like the magazines do, like, "Lose a stone in a week," or "Drop a dress size in a month." These are false promisses because a simple diet cannot help you achieve sustainable weight loss. If you commit to this programme you will not only modify the way in which you eat but change how you think, feel and behave towards food and exercise. You can look forward to achieving the weight loss you have long dreamed of and more importantly, the skills you will learn will help you to remain at your desired weight.
All treatments at the Hertfordshire Hypnotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Clinic are designed to be solution focused and client centered. Your weight loss programme will be designed to focus on your own individual reasons why weight loss has not been successful in the past and focuses on your future success. The Yo-Yo effects of dieting you have previously experienced will be a thing of the past. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Hypnotherapy, alone, are very effective forms of therapy but when put together they produce rapid and permanent results.
