What makes us start eating, and then again, what makes us stop?

There are lots of cues that triggering eating, and hunger is seldom one of them. Most of us don't ever really feel hunger, and when we do, we can satisfy it straight away, no waiting at all. Knowing what triggers your eating, and also what causes you to stop eating is crucial to controlling your weight. After all, your weight is the result of what you eat - when calories in are more than calories used up, we gain weight. We all know that.

The eating cues that we respond to include the people we are with. If you are with a companion who eats like a sparrow, it is harder to ladle out a second or third helping. Sometimes we associate things with food - like watching a film with a bucket of popcorn or driving home eating a chocolate bar. When we know what the eating cues are, we can work out ways to avoid them.

If you are in or near Glasgow and want to lose weight, try to make a few small changes every week. To help you, try hypnotherapy with me.
