Have all your weight loss efforts have come to nothing?  Are you eating to comfort yourself?  Are there two voices in your head and does the bad one, the one that makes you over-eat, always win?  Do you feel trapped in your relationship, job or both.

If a couple of these things apply to you then you may be suffering from depression.  That in itself is not such a big deal, but weight gain and depression seem to go hand in hand.

Some of my clients have been diagnosed with depression, others have not.  Either way, if depression is at the root of the weight gain problem, hypnoanalysis can be used to solve it, so don’t despair.  Our journey together may be rather longer, but there is every chance that we will find a way through.  If we succeed weight loss will surely follow.

Don’t let Christmas get in the way of your weight-loss plan.  Keep your portion sizes down and don’t buy or eat things that you don’t need.  Use Formula 1 from Herbalife once a day instead of a meal. There are plans to suit all requirements here

One Herbalife Formula 1 meal a day will make you feel so much better.  Try it at breakfast time if you have eaten late the night before, or if you are going out to lunch and simply want a light breakfast.  When you use it you will be treating your body to all the vitamins and minerals needed for health living.

I had a weight loss client booked in for a follow-up this week.  Yesterday she cancelled the appointment because she is doing so well. 2lbs to go to get to her target weight which she should hit in the next week or so.  She has done a great job!

On “Rip off food” on BBC1 this morning we learned how much sugar there is in the off-the-shelf breakfast cereals we buy and consume every day.  The sugar content is a problem in itself but it has a nasty effect on our bodies.  It gives us an immediate blood sugar high, followed by a blood sugar low a couple of hours later, so we get hungry.  The response is a mid morning snack, probably high in carbohydrates,sugar or both.

Take a hard look at this if you are overweight. It might be a real contributing factor.

Formula 1 from Herbalife would be a good alternative.  Ok, there is some sugar content but it’s low in carbohydrates, so you just won’t get that sugar high.  Consider using it three days a week.

Do you hear little voices in your mind telling you what to do?  They say you must do this, or must not do that; most of the time you go along with them.  But do you find that you are still doing the wrong thing; overeating perhaps?

Top sports people use techniques to turn these voices off.  They know that if they actually listen to them and then “think” about what they need to do, it will all go wrong.  Tiger Woods is listening to all those voices in his head and his loss of form has been spectacular! (send him round here and I’ll sort him out)

It’s the same with trying to lose weight.  Those voices are chattering away “It’s mid morning I really do need a cup of tea and a biscuit”.  The voice in your head is saying that; your body is just fine.  How about this one?  “I must finish all the food on my plate, it will be wasted otherwise.”  Well you just don’t have to.  You’ve spent the money, so that’s not coming back!

My Hypno-band clients allow me to turn those voices off for them, or, if the voices don’t go away, my clients learn not to respond to them.  Within a couple of weeks their behaviours have completely changed and they a have a whole new set of healthy eating habits.
