Are you a worry eater? Do you pick up something to gnaw on when you begin experiencing stress? If you’re trying to finish a project for work, or write a paper for school, is it easier with a plate of cookies nearby? If this describes you, relax and stop worrying. Through hypnosis you can lose the urge to overeat starting today!
Have you ever wondered what it is that makes you pick up the other half of that sandwich, even when you’re not really hungry? Why do you have to empty the ice cream carton when you sit down to eat your fears away? You start to eat, and before you even realize it, the food is gone, and you are thinking about eating something else.
If you are experiencing a stressful time in your life, or if you notice that you do this whenever you are concerned about something, you are probably a worry eater. Rather than face your worries, or learning to relax in a healthy way, you do something else instead: you eat to find relaxation and pleasure.
Once you have learned why you overeat, you can focus on ways to stop doing this. Some people try self-help groups, such as Overeaters Anonymous, in an effort to resolve this problem. Other people pay for expensive appetite suppressant or weight control drugs.
Very few people focus on what is actually causing the problem of overeating, and those who do typically focus on the single stressful event or the problem of the moment, rather than the actual association they have developed between stress and food. They develop this association because stress produces hormones in our body. Eating foods that are high in carbohydrates (sugars) helps our bodies to feel better, and cope better with these hormones.
While you can’t focus on the hormones your body is producing, you can actually program your mind to avoid worrying altogether. Because you no longer worry, your body no longer produces these hormones, and you no longer have the craving to overeat.
How can you stop worrying? A new, innovative approach called Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) can help you do exactly this. By focusing on positive memories in your life, you can learn to associate these memories with actions (Anchors) such as touching two fingers together. When you begin to experience stress, you can touch these fingers together and trigger the positive memories along with the comfortable feelings they produce again.
Soon, the stress will disappear before you can even name it. You’ll eliminate those food cravings, and never have the desire to overeat again.
