Why you should try hypnosis for emotional eating
Many people have told me they eat in response to their emotions or are what is called “emotional eaters.” Research has shown that people who are less positive are more likely to engage in unhealthy activities that include over eating or eating foods that we know are not good for our health.

People who are naturally positive exercise more, sleep better and are less likely to be overweight. This is where hypnosis can help overcome emotional eating by strengthening your will power to make a change when you may not be feeling positively. So if emotions and a positive outlook are keys to making healthier choices it seems that working with these issues is critical if you want to have long term success with your weight and your health.

Oftentimes when I work with people who struggle with their weight they tell me they eat for comfort or seek out or crave comfort foods. The word craving is an interesting word. It means a powerful desire for something. Notice the vagueness… something. Perhaps it is something missing in life that is causing the craving that is misidentified with a food. The goal is to figure out what your feelings are trying to tell you… what you really want or need that is not being filled.

 
When you think about it, this association with food and feelings or dis-ease roots back to when we were babies. When a baby cries often the first thing that is done is to give the baby a bottle… food … or something that is associated with an oral fix. The problem is it may not be food the baby wants, but crying is the only way it can get your attention. It could be that the baby is tired or has a wet diaper and is uncomfortable. The mother or caregiver has to figure out what the baby is trying to communicate. It’s the same thing with seeking comfort in food or feeding craving. It could be your body or your emotions are trying to get your attention. Your job is to try to understand what the feeling is trying to tell you or what you really need.

 
A powerful way to do begin to end emotional eating is to first keep a record of whenever you eat if it is associated with an emotional trigger. Secondly when that happens you must try to ask yourself what the feeling is trying to tell you and what you might really need. Your feelings are your guidance system and it is your job to pay attention to and try to understand what they are trying to tell or communicate to you.

 
I have created powerful guided hypnosis visualizations that is packed with powerful suggestions to help people to understand and change emotional eating. I would encourage you to download  End Emotional Eating and remember that when hypnosis works because it helps you to access a state where you are willing to absorb the ideas that are being presented or suggested to you.

In a relaxed state that is induced by hypnosis, there is a degree of focused attention and lack of distraction that makes it easier for you to absorb and retain what is being suggested to you. So while I can suggest to you in this post that you pay attention to your feelings, it may be something you want to try but you forget or lack the ‘will’ power to do it differently. The guided hypnosis visualizations area meant to strengthen your will power so the changes you want to make can come more easily to you.
