Why can’t I lose weight?

Many people have spent their lives yo-yoing between diets and trying all manner of exercise plans in order to reach their desired weight. Some of these might work for a short time.. but more often than not, the weight comes back and your motivation and confidence take a plunge. You beat yourself up, feeling like you will never be able to reach your ideal weight and be in control again.

But what many people don’t consider is changing the thoughts behind their eating habits, which have led to them needing quick comfort, which they have found in food. These thoughts might come about because life is stressful and eating has become their way of ‘looking after themselves’ or it might be because something triggers their feelings of unhappiness, or lack of confidence and they find themselves reaching for something to eat. This quickly leads to habits and behaviours which build a pattern of need and comfort which is hard to break.

Many times, in addition to habits that we have built up, it isn’t deemed by our subconcious to be ‘safe’ for us to be slim. If we are slim, our sister might not like it and be passive agressive to us, men might show an interest in us that we cannot protect ourselves against, people might expect too much of us, for example.. and crucially, we might then have no excuse to stop us from coming out from our hiding place. Sometimes at a subconcious level, we are holding onto the weight because what is on the other side of the weight is what scares us.

The work that I do identifies and releases the beliefs, memories and behaviors that are holding us stuck and overweight. It will help you to show up differently, feel empowered and take on new, positive habits and behaviours, while holding your boundaries strong. From this space, the wieght just drops away! I have seen it happen time and time again. Contact me for a chat or to get a session booked in.
