im not the doin the best either atm, iv put a lb on, i think im eating wen im not hungry, and also eating more at meal times than i should, i feel like iv gone back into the mode of eat it whilst i can which is the complete opposite of paul mckenna but i cant seem to get out of it but im not givin up, nothing could pull me back to weightwatchers, and putting it in perspective iv been in most of this week, bein quite stressed and takin it out on rubbish food eating!

did anyone see the authors of beyond chocolate on dragons den?

I agree. No matter how low I feel there is no way I could diet again :rotfl:

what were the Boss sisters doing on DD then? Didn't see it......

Sorry I've not posted for so long, but I wanted to wait a few weeks to see how the hyposis sessions went before updating you. I get 6 sessions which last at least an hour and a half, once a week. Well I've had 3 so far and its going great...really great, I've not weighed myself in that time (which is a feat in its self) and I've not really binged, just a couple of times where I finished a bag of chocolates and not needed them, but this hasn't made me loose the plot like I normally would. I do a food diary, which we discuss each week and that helps when you look a the big picture. I've now just bought myself a hola hoop, which is meant to be the new excercise to do!!? and it looses the inches off your waist...well I'll let you know about that one!!.. may take a while as I've got 2 lots of baby fat to get rid off, and my neighbour asked me the other month if I was pregnant again!!!!!!!!

Anyway, its definatly keeping me on track and tackling some demons, its great to have an actual person to talk to each week, and he is fab, puts you at complete ease and I feel I could tell him anything without any judgement being made.

If anybody has questions plse ask or PM me ...no problem

Well done Jomo. I'd love some sessions but sadly funds don't allow. Mind you no amount of hypnotherapy will solve my tiredness problems.......

I've tried the hula hoop (kids have got one) and I just can't do it. Not sure if it's to do with my body shape (apple - have very little waist for it to sit on IYSWIM) but just doing the imaginary one on Wii Fit messed up my back I have a rebounder which is supposed to be good (although again I have to be careful not to hurt my back which I have done using it before) along with my Wii Active but again tiredness is stopping me from doing it. Although the rebounder I could do whilst the kids are up I suppose. Would probably be fighting them off it though!!!

BB ...I understand how hard it is with kids...how old are yours?
My oldest is starting school next week, and as much as I'm apprehensive (sp) about it, I'm also looking forward to it!! I'll still have a 2 yr old at home, but it should get easier!!

I'm very lucky, I got the hypo sessions half price as is still new to him, and he is still changing things, but saying that it is still expensive but i'm looking for a life time change and can't go on getting bigger and bigger! I see this as my last chance.:rolleyes:

My two are nearly 4 and nearly 14 months. If one isn't waking us up in the night or at the crack of dawn then the other one is. DS starts nursery week after next so hope he settles into that OK. DD isn't yet walking and so I have to hold her hand everywhere outside otherwise she bottom shuffles - not what you want when the grass is wet and the patio is a wee bit rough on her botty!!! Just when I think we are on an even keel sleep wise DD starts cutting teeth again. DS is a <ahem> loud child so one of them is normally waking the other :mad:
I long for the days when I have to draf them out of bed :rotfl:

Still MSE that you get the sessions half price. I wonder if business is slow for him at the moment. Still as long as it helps you then I consider it money well spent

Oh god, I know how you feel re getting a good nights sleep,mine are getting better but I'm still up most nights once, I found my youngest child was waking as he was hungry, so started giving him something just before his milk at night like a banana, and it seems to be working a treat...Woooooo!

The hypnotherapist was recommended to me by a friend (although she went for a completely different reason) I'm not sure I could have gone to somebody that I had just found in the yellow pages.... I was a bit sceptic to start but very open minded

Right I've made a decision. This is DAY ONE. No matter how tired I feel I can't keep eating as what little bit of progress I have made will end up being negated as the weight piles on. I may have to survive on coffee but I can't keep using food to keep me going. I must prioritise going to bed early too. Its difficult as before bed is my only time to myself and H but if I am going to help myself then sleep is important to me.
Wish me luck........no actually I don't need luck I just need EFFORT!!!!!!!

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!! at the end of the day you need to be the one to get your ar*se in gear, believe me I know, its taken me 5 years!!!! Hopefully we can keep each other motivated. My worse time is when I'm on my own, which isn't very often, but occasionally my OH will go upstairs to watch football, which leaves me downstairs on my own looking for chocolate....Why do I do this?????

habit, distraction from being in your own company perhaps? By your own admission you say you are not alone very often, perhaps subconsciously it bothers you more than you realise? Or I could be talking complete twaddle :rotfl:

We shall keep each other motivated. I am not happy the way I am (but not desperately unhappy either which is probably half the problem ).
I didn't pick at all today until very late this afternoon whilst waiting for H to come home. I was peckish and snacked on some biccies which turned into a couple more Still haven't eaten all my tea (although am working my way through a left over bottle of Asti so calorie wise probably no better off!).
Tomorrow is another start and DAY TWO!

Hi, :hello:just had a quick look at this thread - haven't read it all yet. Mind if I join in?

I've got the Paul McKenna book and CD, had it for years actually, but have never got round to following it properly. On Monday I decided to really give it a proper go, which makes today DAY 3. So far I've listened to the CD twice and read bits of the book.

Results so far:

I've had two meals where I ate completely consciously and ended eating about half a usual portion but felt satisfied. It was hard not to read or go online while eating. My solution is to sit at a table away from the computer.

Have also had a couple of binge moments.

Breakfast is the hardest - I have to wolf it down or I'll be late for work. What do the rest of you do? Getting up ealier isn't really an option as I don't get enough sleep as it is. I can't take brekkie with me and eat it on the way in either as I walk there! Once at work I'm only able to eat during official breaks.

After the first listen of the CD I was motivated to go to the gym though, so that's good!

Hope it's going well for the rest of you. x
