When they first come to see me, many of my Ely weight loss clients tell me that it feels like the food (whether it’s chocolate, crisps, cheese or something else) has all the control.
They only have to see it or, in some cases, think about it and soon they find that familiar craving taking over. It may have even become automatic – walk into the kitchen grab it and eat. Without pausing.
Taking control over weight loss
A recent client of mine, who we’ll call Sheila, came to see me after putting on two stone which she couldn’t shift.
She told me she knew she was eating too much, even overeating on things which made her feel ill afterwards. She even called her eating an ‘obsession’ – thinking about food all the time and using it to try and help handle the stress in her life.
But knowing that we don’t want to be doing things the way we are, and actually changing them, can be two very different things.
