Weight Loss

For some people to lose weight dieting is never going to be the answer on its own, exercising and dieting is also for some people a waist of time in the long run, and I can tell you why.

If you have tried to diet in a healthy way and found only limited short term change or you lose the weight only to put it back on soon after, or can’t lose any weight on any diet.

Thene the real problem may be with you and the way you think and feel more than you may realize.

Sounds silly? Well if you think that you’re probably the very type I’M talking about; let me explain in more detail.

Why people eat may sound like a silly question, they eat to stay alive is the obvious answer, and that is partly correct, but some people eat for reasons that may sound ridiculous but are true, such as:

Reasons

To become unattractive and keep any possible partners away.
To prove to others that they are unattractive.
For comfort and to hide unwanted feelings.
From feeling depressed and not wanting to change.
To rebel against society.
To hide other problems from view.
A reaction to low self esteem, I can’t change mind set.
Not wanting children.
A fear of sexual contact.
Social anxiety.
To replace feelings with food,
To test a partners love from low confidence or self esteem.
Constant eating to reduce stressful situations or feelings.
To confirm how useless they are to them selves.
To feel good
Unable to admit how much they keep snacking junk food

Just some of the reasons that can be hidden away from the person affected by over eating, they don’t know that’s why they eat until therapy brings it into the open.

Some enter into complete denial and refuse to admit any fault, it’s my metabolism, it’s my medication, it’s my age, it’s the diet I’M on.

There are some medications and physical problems that can contribute to retaining weight, but with good dietary practice and information those people can still lose weight.

When I can help?

If you are constantly worrying about your weight, constantly on diets or find that your whole life is starting to revolve around loosing weight or dieting then you need to find a new balance in your life.

Therapy can help work out why you eat, why you feel so desperate to lose weight, and find a new way forward that works. A good healthy diet will take time to have the desired outcome, but rushing it or going for faddy diets that only work in the short term can show a deeper problem.

I can help identify the possible self defeating behaviours and negative thinking that could be sabotaging your best efforts towards your goal of losing weight, this can help you redefine the way you live life and why you eat.

Do you feel helpless fighting weight problems? Always on a diet?

Effective weight loss for some seems impossible, constant dieting and ineffective exercise seems to make life so hard, why?

A free consultation will allow you to test the benefits of therapy and may save you money in the long run.
