Using your belly as a bin

The generation that was told to eat everything on their plate find leaving food very tricky.

So when you go to the fridge and see the remains of a meal, there is a powerful urge to eat it, to avoid waste. Don't tidy your fridge by eating up the contents.

These suggestions from your childhood are persistent and powerful. What can you do to overcome them?

Well, hypnosis can embed new suggestions, permitting you to throw food away. In hypnosis, you can learn to always leave your plate half eaten. Breaking the instruction to eat everything up needs a bit of support. However, many of us feel strongly about food waste. Hypnosis can help you develop new habits, simple things - like cooking smaller quantities or cooking a bit more so that you can store some in the freezer. Sometimes we just need to be able to focus.

You may feel that to be eco-friendly, you can't use the oven to heat up or bake just a small portion. So you could think about getting a small table top oven.

You might keep a dog - scraps and bones are apparently the ideal diet! Or chickens, so when you throw food out it doesn't feel so wasteful. Whatever works for you.

But your belly is not the bin. Don't fill it with rubbish.
