Hypnotherapy for weight loss opinions plz

littlegirllost

I seem to have lost my will power, sometimes I find it at 9am on a Monday morning and have lost it again by 5pm tuesday. He is a tricky wee fella to hold on to. I know that all I need to do is eat/drink less, exercise more, simple! However the minute I start my body seems to be screaming for food.

So after spending hundreds in the past few years on pills/diets/magazines/slimming clubs and keep fit dvds. Im considering hypnotherapy but I need peoples opinions on it. Have you or somebody you know had it done and worked out great or not. I appreciate every person is different. I would just like real peoples advise not what I read on the official websites.

I also got some information in today on Gastric ballon, has anybody had that, can you tell me how much it costs. After the six months do you just start eating again and gain the weight you lose.

I know this sound extreme but I really dont see any other way.

Thanks

gastric balloon is a waste of money! this girl i know had it done and she was about 25 stone when she had it done. Its now over a year later and I wouldnt say she's a pound less than she was before she had it done! It may be a case that she DID lose the weight then put it back on when removed...

I've lost 2 stone in 3 months on slimming world. I was going to go for hypnotherapy but thought it might just be a fad like anything. Perhaps addressing your will power issues and issues surrounding your weight might be more beneficial? perhaps if you joined a slimming group and went to the meetings you might find the will power there? Also theres threads for slimming world/weight watchers etc that offer support online?

My best friend has been receiving hypnotherapy for weight loss. She's been having it for a year, firstly every week, then fortnightly, then monthly, and she has lost 4 stone.

i would second something like weightwatchers/slimming world. my friend is going to weight watchers after having her first baby, and has done soooo well. she has to write down a food diary and she says it helps her as she has to record every single thing she eats, seeing it written down means she cant cheat etc as everything is accounted for. she is half way to her goal weight and has only been going about 2 months! she also says the meetings are fantastic as it gives u support etc, and there a people there who are at their goal weight who just go there to maintain it etc. i wish i had of joined as well, but im pregges at the mo, so have to put it off for a while!


good luck x

Hi Litle girl lost
I have just had hypno for weight loss, it has worked for me but my friend went to a different one and it hasnt worked. If you find a hypnotherapist ask for a consultation first (free). Mine cost £45. for first session and £35 for next 3 sessions.
Worth a try, if you dont feel comfortable with the person dont sign up.
Good luck
