Welcome to this week's podcast episode, where we dive deep into the intriguing world of food cravings. Join me as I share a personal insight into the struggles of dealing with irresistible desires for those foods we can’t leave alone!

In the spotlight today is Laurie, who battles with an undeniable craving for peanut butter. Picture this: she finds herself scooping the creamy delight straight from the jar with a spoon, just as she did in secret during her childhood. As confessions unfold, I admit to my own guilty pleasure of indulging in condensed milk.But fear not, for today we're parking the guilt and exploring the fascinating journey Laurie embarks on as she delves into hypnotherapy.

Stay tuned to witness the transformation as Laurie, guided by hypnotic suggestions, gradually loses her desire to taste or even smell peanut butter. This episode offers a captivating glimpse into the realm of control achievable through hypnotherapy.

I shed light on the notion that food cravings often have little to do with the food itself but are intricately tied to the associations with joyful moments. In Laurie's case, it's the early memories of childhood that fuel her peanut butter cravings. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the profound insights into the power of hypnotherapy in reshaping our relationship with food.

Have a great week, until next time take care.

Claire.

Gillian wanted control of the hot cross buns she craved. But… Gillian was a baker who loved the smell and texture so much of hot cross buns that she had her own ritual of smelling and squeezing the buns before she went in for a bite! Carbs, cakes, and anything sugary were Gillian’s downfall.

Keto is the weight loss plan that Gillian wanted to follow; however, this is a very low-carb and low-sugar plan, so helping quit those cravings using hypnosis, especially as a baker, would be a challenge indeed relying on willpower alone.

You will hear Gillian describe how she felt about the food she craved both before and after hypnosis. Like many people embarking on a healthy eating program, Gillian talks about the guilt of feeling unable to resist the foods in the moments that cravings felt so strong. In Gillian’s words, “sugar makes the world feel good.” Challenging this belief system may sound impossible. However, the subconscious mind is powerful. Listen to this week’s episode and open your mind to the possibility that habits can be changed without weeks and weeks of fighting cravings.

"It's been a while, and I'm so glad to be back!

While you may have thought that was the end of the podcast, it was certainly a long pause. But I'm back, recording and looking forward to publishing new episodes.

So much has happened; you will hear how 2023 has had its challenges, but it's also important to keep showing up during difficult times.

In this episode, I discuss how future episodes are going to sound and how the podcast has evolved to cover the weight loss transformation of both the mind and body.

As a hypnotherapist, I want to dive deeper into mental health conversations because everyone looking to lose weight is often carrying more than the pounds they aim to lose.

We all need encouragement from time to time and who better to share their weight loss journey than Tatenda, host of “Marvellous Encouragement."

Tatenda has always celebrated her curves and her motivation was never fuelled by a social media idealistic view of a woman's body.  

This episode is very different from previous guest interviews as Tatenda had not struggled with weight or food choices from early childhood, teens, or twenties. Tatenda embarked on her weight loss journey at age 36 having lost the body confidence that she once adored. Tatenda found that celebrating curves was difficult in a UK size 22 body and compliments from her husband were difficult to take.

Tatenda felt embarrassed that she had got to a size 22 and she found herself hiding away in the bathroom to get changed and from social events.

You will hear Tatenda open up about how her excess weight had caused physical pains and how she didn't feel aligned with the health message she had to give working as a nurse. Motivating others to lose the weight they needed when she was a size 22 was something that Tatenda knew had to change.

Tatenda has now transformed her health journey and no longer worries about encouraging others. Tatenda wanted to share her encouragement on YouTube with her own channel “Marvellous Encouragement”.

The hiding away is now a thing of the past and Tatenda has taken back her power away from the scales and owns her weight loss journey. Tatenda shares how Slimming World, calorie counting & intermittent fasting have all helped her to step back into a healthy body.

Enjoy!

Happy Valentines!

Sending you big Saint Valentine's greetings.

It feels so easy to love those we truly cherish, so easy to offer friends and family compliments and words of encouragement, and yet how easy is it to truly receive that same love?

In this episode, you will hear how Charlotte is given an insight into how her negative self-talk has really impacted her self-esteem.

This conversation will show you how easy it is to repeat negative self-talk on autopilot and Charlotte's reaction to the mirror work I help her with.

You will be able to hear the hypnosis I guide Charlotte over on my Youtube channel following this link.

Hypnosis is simply a pure state of focus.

The question is what hypnosis are you currently invested in?

What words do you focus on to describe your reflection on autopilot? So many times I hear people refer to hypnosis as woo woo! Yet people are already in hypnosis - each time they focus on negative self-talk and truly believe those negative words to be true.

Life has changed so much since Ruth last recorded an episode with Slimming Stories on episode 16. You may remember Ruth sharing her weight loss success with Slimming World dropping from a dress size 22 to a size 8.

With newfound confidence, Ruth explains how she applied to the world-renowned school of performing arts “Lipa’ …just for a laugh! Ruth never imagined that she would be accepted as this had always been a dream and Lipa was a fairytale wish in a land far far away!

Meanwhile, Ruth became unwell and was suspected of early menopause.

More miracles were in store for Ruth as she explains how having polycystic ovaries meant that the dream of having children was something she had accepted would never happen. 

Do you believe in miracles!!!!?

Take a listen and hear Ruth's fantastic news.

Before Ruth's Podcast recording, I was able to take Ruth into hypnosis to help with pain management and a painful memory after Ruth had suffered a miscarriage.

We never know the weight of the emotional pain someone is carrying when they embark on their weight loss journey. It was a pleasure not only to provide Ruth with pain relief but also to release her mind from being stuck in the moment of trauma from the miscarriage she had suffered.

I think I can vouch for the majority of my listeners when I say that most people committing to their weight loss have at some time sipped from the cup of Fad diets! 

Even knowing that a juice diet is a quick fix isn't always enough to steer us away from investing in the notion that something with “tropical” in the title will bring about a subtropical magical fat-melting reaction without the hard work!

This week's episode is a minisode, one of many as I share a recent podcast sponsor opportunity. This was a little triggering as you will hear from my tone, my family thought this was a great idea! I had other thoughts and I'm sure you will all agree that declining the offer was the best move. Yes, I could have earned money however integrity and not having my podcast Spammed felt more in line with my Slimming Stories vision. Enjoy!
