Let's see....I went to a hypnotherapist on Saturday. This was indeed a life changing experience. Although I won't get into explicit details, I can say that this woman was able to help me address both new and old issues. One thing I am more then proud to speak of now was her ability to help me turn off the 'switch' in my head that was triggering binge eating.
Binge eating is something I have done privately since I met my first husband Eric. And this practice continued right up until Saturday. In addition, I have not had a migraine since Saturday. Connected? Not sure. Grateful? Beyond words!
That is why Weight Watchers and any other weight loss program have never worked for me in the long term. Eventually, the little demon in my head steers me to a binge of junk food. This binge leads to a feeling of guilt and disappointment in myself which then spirals in to quitting the weight loss program entirely because I don't feel "worthy." It is a huge step for me to even write about this in any detail. It is truly liberating.
I was a skeptic. I went to her thinking "I'm one of those people you can't hypnotize." Thank God I was wrong. This was a worthy investment in myself. The better person I can be for me, the better person I can be for those who need and depend on me.
I spoke with Sue (the Hypnotherapist) on the phone last night. She said she was proud of me and that I accomplished "a lot of work" in one session. I told her about not binge eating and she was thrilled. She explained to me that the binge eating was a learned process - a habit and that now it will take time to get used to the habit of NOT wanting to eat all the time.
During my session, Sue had me take control of longstanding issues by turning "switches" and "knobs" in the 'control room' of my mind. I know this may sound a bit weird. All I can say is....it worked. It worked...IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will keep you posted as this new journey of self discovery holds great promise for me and I want to share the experiences.
