Weight Control
Emotional / Comfort Eating
Emotional and comfort eating happens when we eat because of how we are feeling emotionally inside, rather than as a response to actual physical hunger.
It is not uncommon for people to eat when they feel sad, angry, hopeless, bored or lonely. Eating may make you feel better in the short term. Eating in response to emotions, particularly if you are not hungry, is known as comfort eating.
Eating your favourite food when something upsets you is OK, and everybody is likely to do it from time to time.
Comfort eating may become a problem if you are regularly feeling sad, angry, hopeless, bored or lonely and are using food to cope with these feelings. All these responses to food can become pattern forming, that is when we associate feeling a certain way with eating. In all these examples, it is often the act of eating itself that becomes important, rather than thinking about and appreciating what we are eating. Habits of eating like this are negative and over time can lead to weight gain, low self esteem and a mirade of other problems, as we are overriding and ignoring our body's innate ability to tell us when and what it needs to function.
Clinical Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy and CBT can help to overcome negative eating behaviours by refocusing the mind on what it really wants, and using an analytical approach to investigate the reasons why you are eating in this way. A Clinical Hypnotherapist can help you find out why you are behaving in this way and they will help you to build up positive habits and positive eating patterns, and will show you how to use your imagination to visualise a happy, confident you who has a healthy relationship with food.
Large appetite?
Eating too much?
Want to lose weight?
Newwave's revolutionary weight loss system Hypno-Band
could change your life forever by helping you lose weight.
Julie is only one of two licenced Hypno-Band practitioner in Northamptonshire.
The Hypno-Band programme is not suitable for people
who emotional or comfort eat.
So what is the Hypno-Band weight loss programme?
Imagine that you simply eat too much, and wish that you didn't have such a big appetite. Imagine having the size of your stomach reduced so you would choose to eat less high calorific foods, which means less calories and you in turn lose weight.
This can be achieved by having a Gastric Band fitted through surgery, and spending thousands of pounds on the procedure, which privately can cost from £4,000 to £6,000! Usually the surgery is only carried out on people classified as "clinically obese" and with a high Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 plus.
BUT ... what if you could have all the benefits of a surgical Gastric Band, without the surgery and cost? Well now you can! By using the Hypno-Band system we create a state of mind where you will believe you actually have a Gastric Band fitted, and in turn you will eat smaller portions and feel full easily and quickly.
The Hypno-Band system is a tool to help you on your long term solution
to your weight problems.
How does it work?
Over four sessions we take you through the process of having a gastric band fitted, only in your mind. By using suggestion and visualisation your mind will be convinced that your stomach has become smaller and that you need less food. By eating less and less often you will begin to lose weight. The process uses Clinical Hypnotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to help you achieve your ideal weight - and stay there!
Each session in the Hypno-Band system lasts for one hour and before beginning the process a full assessment will be carried out to see for suitability.
Am I suitable for the Hypno-Band weight loss system?
It might not be the right choice or suitable for everyone which is why I offer a free 30 minute consultation. The Hypno-Band programme is not suitable for peope with emotional or comfort eating issues. If you are very over-weight (a BMI of 30+, or those with a BMI of between 30-40 with a condition that poses a serious health risk) and really want and are committed to losing weight then you should be suitable. The only exception would be if there is a medical or physiological reason for your weight problems or if you are taking certain medications.
Is it guaranteed?
Like any medical or therapy procedure there can be no definite guarantees. Even a surgeon cannot guarantee that an actual surgical gastric band will work. However, the
Hypno- Band has been proven to be effective in aiding significant weight loss. It should be noted that it is YOU that holds the key to losing weight. No system will work if you are not 100% committed. It will not work if you overeat on high calorific foods or drinks. The mind is a very powerful instrument and by using the HYPNO-BAND system you will have the tools and power to change your eating habits.
The only way to lose significant amounts of weight is to eat less! It will not work if you overeat on high calorific foods or drinks.
The HYPNO-BAND system helps you to change behaviour and life-style which in turn provides you with the ability to lose weight and stay that way!
BUT is not suitable for people who are emotional or comfort eaters.
To date the Hypno-Band has been licensed for use to over 50 Licensed Practitioners in five countries on four continents, with others becoming licensed every day. Currently Hypno-Band are designing clinical trials at the request of the NHS with a view to the system being used as an alternative to actual surgery.
