Hi Sue,

Good luck for coping with this evening. Hopefully you have a plan of action to help you to cope.

Good luck Sue!

Evenings are the worst for me too. It's like if nobody is around to see me snacking it doesn't count. Which is really silly of me I admit. Today I'm hoping to be ok as I don't have anything in the house to snack on!

I am the same and it doesn't help much cos my OH is 9st so can eat whatever

Evening nibbles are difficult to stop 😕 But like all habits, the longer you go without the easier it gets 😊 Good luck

The mind works in such a way , if you repeat something often enough, the inner part of your mind takes over, so it becomes automatic and will seem like you have no choice but to behave and obey that other part of you. It actually works well, IF its a good habit, so we dont have to keep making the same decision and relearning our actions, so shortcuts the mind. For instance when we get up in a morning, you know how to dress, shower, clean your teeth without giving it much thought, you know how to drive and the directions that get you to work - without any conscious thoughts- it`s all on automatic pilot. This is the same with any habit - works great until you want to change. You need to plan what you can do instead, tell yourself in positive language that " I prefer to be healthy" etc., If all else fails hypnotherapy will easily kick start a good habit into place as it ousts the old ways - this is because hypnosis has the ability to change inner programmes by working WITH that part that drives the habit. Whereas conscious thought alone cannot easily achieve this, as habits override conscious thoughts as you have programmed yourself to obey overeating on Sunday. You put that programme in place, so the mind accepts that as the norm, so is reluctant to change. I hope by understanding this will help,

kind regards,

Linda
