The Mindset of the Overweight Person
There are initial factors and reasons why a person gains weight and the factors can be complicated and many – there is no easy answer. After that, a second set of factors come into play that “grow” out of the experience of being overweight.
So if a person, for example, gains weight because of a very simple physiological reason, like having a baby, an accident or injury. Hypnotherapy can be a very effective solution.
Being overweight may create unhelpful thinking on a range of issues including self-esteem, feeling worthless or unattractive, which may affect your confidence or mood, etc. Through hypnotherapy you can overcome these problems with relaxation/stress reduction techniques, visualization and imagery and positive suggestion and support.
Factors that may have influenced your weight gain are :-
Primary Factors
- Physiological - Metabolism - Build - Appetite - Genetic factors - Hormone imbalance - Illness/Disease
- Environment - Upbringing - Habits - Access to food - Learned behaviours - Peer pressure
- Lifestyle - Physiological - Mental skills – strength
