Hi all :welcome:
The title of this dairy probably seems a bit strange seeing as I haven't even started yet but I plan to start as I mean to go on - believing that this will work and that I am capable of achieving the weight loss I need to become healthier and happier. Ok, folks here's the low down....
Background.
Long history of weight problems. I won't bore you but I've been on a diet since before my teens, many family members are over weight, took on a lot of unhealthy attitudes towards food, exercise, my body, self worth etc.
Diet's Tried.
Here goes :sigh:
Slimming World + Bodyoptimise - I was even a consultant and ran classes for them for four years :break_diet:
Weight Watchers
Rosemary Conley
Calorie Counting
Atkins
Food Combining
GI
GL
Cabbage Soup (lovely side effects!)
Egg and tomato (see above!)
Laxatives
Bulimia (early teens)
Paul McKenna seminar
Beyond Chocolate
Cambridge
Slim Fast
Low fat
Hmm, think that's all
New Plan
Over the last few years I have worked a lot on my self esteem and become much more aware of some of the reasons why I am overweight and the negative views that hold me back. I have come to realise that for me diets do not work!!! I need to stop looking to the external to lose weight and start looking inward. I hold certain beliefs about myself and my life that prevent me from achieving what I want to achieve.
For this reason I have decided to work with a hypnotherapist to lose weight. Part of the treatment will be a virtual gastric band procedure in which I will be hypnotised to believe that I have undergone surgery and can no longer overeat. CBT will also be used and the over all plan is to change my subconscious to desire a health relationship with food.
I am booked to have my first session with Russell Hemmings on Monday and will be using this diary to record how things go (for anyone that may be interested!). I have not entered into this lightly. In total it will cost about £1000 and that is not a small amount to me, even though I have spent thousands over the years on dieting.
All diary watchers and fellow weight losers are most welcome to join me on this journey.
