It is important to say first that many people who are a little overweight and want to lose a few pounds do not need hypnotherapy. For many, a short period of time on a well balanced reduced calorie or reduced fat diet will be all that they need to reach the weight they wish.

However, there are some who have been trying to lose weight, and who have tried dieting, probably many times, and maybe joined slimming groups in the past or tried other approaches without success, and for these hypnotherapy frequently produces the results they seek.

Simply, if someone is consistently eating more than they need, and more than is healthy for them, and finds that he/she is unable to reduce food intake to a healthy level, this is, in my experience, almost invariably because overeating is fulfilling an important function. Perhaps it is feeling depressed that leads a person again and again to reach for the fridge, or the chocolate bar. For other people, it may be worry or anxiety. For still others, excessive food may be the way in which they give themselves a treat, or nurture themselves.

This is why some fail to lose weight. If a person has no way other than overeating to fulfil an important function for themselves, then any attempts to 'give up' are almost bound to fail. At best, they may successfully lose weight for a while, only to put it on again - and more - when the diet comes to an end, or when they are subsequently under stress or emotional strain.

So the approach which has been used here with notable success for some years has been to discover the positive purpose which overeating is fulfilling for a client, and to enable that purpose to be fulfilled in other, healthier and more natural ways. Many such people wish to keep confidential the fact that they have used hypnotherapy to lose the weight.
