It doesn’t have to be that “after Christmas” time of year. Many people battle with weight issues no matter what the reason or season.
Take a look at the list below and see if you are able to recognise why you may have developed problems with your weight.
- You live a stress and anxiety filled life
- Do you eat to fill an emotional void?
- You have a tendency towards eating an abundance of processed foods, which can include convenience foods and takeaways
- It’s possible that you don’t enough fresh fruit and vegetables daily
- Do you drink diet soda believing it will help you to lose weight? This is a complete misconception by the way
- Do you eat for emotional reasons to enable you to feel in control of your life?
- Maybe you eat the wrong foods
- You might eat too much food and have problems with portion size
- Do you get enough exercise?
- Are you suffering from physical health problems?
- You might be taking medication that means you put on weight
- There may be underlying hormone imbalances or menopause
- There may be age related issues
- Do you experience body dysmorphia?
- You may suffer from self-esteem and experience self-confidence issues
Working with weight is about considering your thought process regarding how and why you eat or don’t eat and what this may be related to.
So what would it be like to stop berating yourself and instead move your thinking towards the more positive outcome of your long-term health?
Changing how you think about yourself from the inside:
- Enables you to make better choices
- Ensures you start listening to your body again
- Helps to you feel and appreciate that you are in control
For whatever reason, your weight has got out of control; Counselling and Psychotherapy, at times used in conjunction with NLP, Hypnotherapy or Mindful Meditation, can help you.
Using Counselling and Psychotherapy to support you in your quest to understand your eating habits, get healthy, and cope with the mental and physical elements you experience can give you the tools for the rest of your life.
