Willpower

Trying to lose weight by squeezing out all our willpower doesn't seem to work. Most people who lose weight on a diet find that it just comes back on again, sometime with a few extra pounds too. So all that willpower focused on sticking to a diet could just be wasted misery.

Maybe a good alternative is to make frequent small changes to your eating pattern, adding good things and removing bad things bit by bit. This gives us the chance to embed each small change, making our new eating pattern automatic, and our new way of eating becomes normal.

"It is better to take many small steps in the right direction, than make a great leap forward only to stumble backward". (Chinese proverb)

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.
