Food Addictions: Staying In Control Of What You Eat

Today I am in control and responsible for what I consume.

Don’t we all love chocolate? That nice sweet delicious and comforting feeling in your mouth… we can all agree, it is wonderful. However, if you are anything like me chocolate becomes an addiction. “Hi, my name is Karen and I’m a ‘chocolate addict’. The more you think today is the day I’m not going to have chocolate is the day you crave it even more.

I have heard that chocolate creates the same feel-good chemical reaction to your brain as sex… so chocolate is an aphrodisiac. One good reason to keep eating it then.

At this point, you may be wondering why bananas? What has that got to do with chocolate? If you managed to read my last blog you will have read that no matter how hungry I am, I will never ever eat Bananas. I don’t like them at all and would rather starve.

You see even the texture alone makes me think of poo and who would eat that. Sorry if you’re eating whilst reading this!

However, with a little technique, I learned by doing NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) called ‘like to dislike’ I found it was easy to undo those many years of addiction. You see NLP helped me to change my mindset and re-programme my thinking. This was powerful stuff. It has changed my life in more than one area, but more about that later.

I may still have chocolate on special occasions but will decide to have only a little bit. I can then turn up the dislike to a high intensity when and how I want to.

Today I am in control and responsible for what I consume.

I am happy with my Body shape although I am still on the journey. I’m what I call ‘work in progress’/

Now as an NLP Master Practitioner, I show others how to break free from self-sabotage.

If you would like to know how this can work for you, then contact me to find out more about my upcoming workshops.

I look forward to reaching the peak with you.
