Hypnotherapy update

So it's been a couple days since I had the hypnotherapy.

You're probably wondering how it's going.

First of all, I haven't made a conscious effort to eat healthy ... I've been allowing myself whatever I want.

One of Barb's re-enforcements was that I want to eat healthy foods and not put junk into my body. I still think about having a treat ... the M&Ms I have in my desk at work or an ice cream here at home. But then the thought disappears instantly and I don't want 'em. I don't have to talk myself out of them and agonize over it.

Another positive re-enforcement was that I would stop eating when I'd had enough. Sometimes I continue to eat even after I feel full ... remember your mother made you eat everything off your plate before you could leave the table?! I had lunch out today (curried chicken and rice) and when I finished, I was finished thinking about food. And I could have gone without supper tonight as I was still full. I had a bit of fish and rice (but not the amount I usually have) because (1) I made supper for Gord and (2) we were trying a new fish rub. It's been three hours since supper and I'm still really full and have no urge to eat. I feel too full actually.

And I'm noticing I'm drinking a lot more water than I have been lately (and so peeing more).

All good things!

Barb sent me home with a CD that I have to listen to once a day. I listened to the healthy eating re-enforcements last night before I went to bed and the weight loss re-enforcement this evening before supper.

The hypnotherapy sounds very cool (and little scary, what else can they 'suggest'). It's awesome that it seems to be working. Congrats on early success!!!

Hi Teena!
Thank you for visiting my blog! I am enjoying reading yours! Toronto is one of my favorite cities to visit. It has been a few years since we have been up there, though. We are overdue for a trip to Canada! :-)
