Recent research undertaken at King’s College, London found that children with lower self-esteem tend to gain weight as they grow up and be larger as adults.

They talk about how early intervention, in childhood, is key and quote Dr Ian Campbell of the charity Weight Concern as saying “Many of the adults we work with have identifiable underlying emotional and self esteem issues and are often resistant to treatment.”

However, it is possible to identify these factors at any age, with the gentle use of hypnotherapy, and to undo the effects of childhood low self-esteem, installing a new confidence and realisation of self-worth. This is itself can make a significant difference to a person’s relationship with food and, together with a new approach to eating (involving NO dieting!!) can be the start of the permanent weight loss they are looking for.
