Last weekend (23^rd and 24^th January 2010) I had the privilege of  representing SlimQuest at the Diet and Fitness Show at Olympia. For those who have not come across it, SlimQuest is a 6 week course run by Quest Trained therapists, using Hypnotherapy and NLP techniques to help to gain control over our relationship with food - especially over the emotions and beliefs about ourselves that drive us to eat more than we want and when we don’t want to.

We had a really good couple of days where we met many great people with very genuine and sensible questions.  We also had an opportunity to offer 15 minute taster sessions of both hypnotherapy and EFT, and many people walked away amazed at what can be achieved in such a short space of time!

Thank you to all of you who were willing to give this a go.

So many people have tried so many diets and approaches and yet, still seem to put on weight. It can be a real surprise to realise that it can be the dieting itself that causes the weight gain. The more we restrict ourselves, the more our minds and bodies learn to store fat even more efficiently.  In times of famine, this would be a very good approach to keep us alive when times are hard – however now, it is only serving to perpetuate the yo-yo dieting cycle.

So – what a freedom to know that one of the things we need to do in order to lose weight and maintain it is to stop dieting!!
