Hey All,
I posted the following message on the LL thread, but thought I'd post it here too, to see if anyone has had a similar experience to myself, and if they managed to work through it?
I know on the LL journey we are supposed to come to understand the emotional reasons as to why we ate and why we are where we are today, but what if you can't put your finger on it, or there are many reasons, how can you work on the 'real issue/s' if you don't know what they are?
Last year I went for hypnotheray (for weight loss), which also included NLP techniques, during the session, the hypnotherapist asked me to think of when I first became overweigh, and I think it was around the age of 7. We spoke about various childhood memories and the hypnotherapist seemed to focused on one in particular, but I'm not sure that was the start of my 'issues' with food.
I used to eat to congratulate myself when I had had a good week, eat when I was lonely, bored, when sad, when happy, when worried, and I think probably for any emotion - so what does this mean? How do I begin to decipher what the real reasons are, so that I can begin to work on them? Is this something that will come to light during the LL group sessions? Do I need to go and see a psychologist, counselling to work through what the real reason/s is/was?
I keep reading that you need to work on your 'issues', if you want to achieve weight loss for life, and I'm worried that I can't get to the bottom of mine, and unless I do, I'll never be able to deal with my issues around food.
Anyone had a similar experience and managed to pin-point their 'real reasons?'
if so, how did you go about finding out what they were?
