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.
Well that sounds easy and workable so far! Right on.
ReplyDeletethat sounds amazing and I am thrilled for you. (and a teeny bit jealous)
ReplyDeleteThe 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!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great program - so far - keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteHi Teena!
ReplyDeleteThank 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! :-)
