Wow thanks for replying, A little bit about myself will make you understand why I have come to the conclusion to try hypnotherapy, A few years ago I hit 20 stones in weight, I was laughed at on holiday in Lanzarote getting out of the swimming pool, and totally humiliated, I then went on a series of diets and have tried nearly everything available from Atkins, Slim Fast, illegal slimming tablets, herbal tablets, even Reductil which was prescribed by my GP, I managed to shift 4 stones with these. Reductil was then banned in the UK and I started to gain weight again, I joined a gym and paid nearly £500 for a personal trainer, I have even had a 6 week training and diet course with Richard Callender from UKs BIggest Loser programme (my friends were contestants on the show last year), I lost 13lbs in 6 weeks with him and then gained it back last christmas. I joined Virgin Active gym this Jan and up until June I was attending 5 classes a week including spinning and body combat, then I went on holiday gained more weight, it was then the school hols and I couldnt get to the gym - I am now back up by another stone again and I am so depressed, I know I have a problem with food as I have days where I eat the same thing to death then go off of it again, I work evenings and come in at 10pm and eat the wrong thing, my days start off really well with porridge and then by midday its going down hill. The lady I am going to see is seeing me over a course of 3/4 sessions, the first will be to discuss my eating habits and I assume my past and the reasons why I over eat and eat the wrong foods - I also have an addiction to diet coke and have drunk 26 cans since Sunday!!!!!!!!!! on my last session this is the one where she will carry out the GMB where I will be lead to believe my stomach is the size of a golf ball.
