Why is that when the going gets tough the junk food comes out?

Regardless of what our food weaknesses are, emotional stress will help us find them. Sometimes we don't even know that we’re under stress until we start mindlessly eating mouthful after mouthful.

At first it feels like we're solving the problem but it doesn’t solve the problem at all. In fact, emotional eating can be the beginning of a downward spiral. We eat to reward ourselves and heal our emotional problems, only to find that we feel even worse.

In general, there are 5 main reasons why we emotionally eat:

    1    TO REWARD OR ENTERTAIN OURSELVES
    2    TO LESSEN OR NEGATE AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE
    3    TO BE NOTICED OR GAIN AUTHORITY
    4    BECAUSE WE NEED LOVE
    5    BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID

We are all different but in general our emotional eating will be a direct response to one or more of these needs.

This hypnosis session will help you identify why you eat and help you identify healthy new alternative behaviours. It works because emotional eating is an “unconscious” habit. It is something that we do automatically. Automatic behaviours are controlled by our unconscious brain. While we are in a deep state of hypnotic relaxation our unconscious mind becomes open to positive suggestions. It enables you to swap the habit of emotional eating for healthier behaviours. In doing so you can directly address the root cause of the problem. Unlike other techniques hypnosis offers a sustainable long-term solution.

As you listen to this hypnosis session you will start to develop new options and coping strategies for those times when you used to emotionally eat. You will find that these alternatives leave you feeling better rather than worse. The end result is that you will start to chose these options over the temporary hit of junk food.  You can then start to enjoy a healthier lifestyle.
