I found this interesting Posted by KarenWby on 6/2/2018, 4:47 pm as well as thought-provoking and possibly even-attitude adjusting. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5783239/Slim-Summer-Paul-McKenna-shares-techniques-FREEDOM-EMOTIONAL-EATING.html

Re: I LOVE LOVE LOVE Paul Mckenna Posted by MaryL on 6/3/2018, 7:55 pm, in reply to "I found this interesting" I LOVE Paul McKenna. His technique really did help me stop smoking for good! He is able to help 9 out of 10 people who try his weight loss techniques. I am one of the 10 that it didn't work on, because I have never been able to stop the emotional eating.

Re: I LOVE LOVE LOVE Paul Mckenna Posted by PamT on 6/4/2018, 1:12 pm, in reply to "Re: I LOVE LOVE LOVE Paul Mckenna" I've not heard of him before. Quitting smoking is one of the hardest habits to break. Did you try this technique specifically for emotional eating or is this something new he has come out with? A couple of decades ago I got a self hypnosis cassette tape for weight loss. You were supposed to play it while going to sleep and it went for about an hour. Supposedly your subconsciousness mind was more absorbable for stuff like that. While I did find it very relaxing, I couldn't get past the creepy feeling of someone programming my mind in my sleep! lol! I tried for a while and it didn't help. Too resistant I suppose.

Re: Emotional Eating Posted by MaryL on 6/4/2018, 8:24 pm, in reply to "Re: I LOVE LOVE LOVE Paul Mckenna" Paul McKenna has been around for years. I love his books and jokingly have called him my "British boyfriend". He has written many great books including "I Can Make You Quit Smoking" and " I Can Make You Thin". In his weight loss books his approach uses intuitive eating along with certain techniques which have been employed in a number of different ways, including a technique once used in Seriavo- Yugoslavia, used during their war to help people with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. A Tapping Technique is also recommended: the wrist, forehead, different pressure points, eye movements, and thought process changes are used to banish cravings. I have some of his cds that are recommended for hypnosis. He may have come out with a new approach for emotional eating. If so I will look forward to seeing what he has to offer.

Re: Freedom From Emotional Eating Posted by MaryL on 6/5/2018, 1:48 pm, in reply to "Re: Emotional Eating" I just bought this book as a longshot it may help me. Without addressing emotional eating for me no diet will work in the long term.

Re: Freedom From Emotional Eating Posted by MaryL on 6/7/2018, 11:48 am, in reply to "Re: Freedom From Emotional Eating" The kindle version includes downloads. I ordered the paperback version "used" and judging from the reviews it includes a cd with the hypnosis sessions included.

Re: I found this interesting Posted by PamT on 6/3/2018, 2:37 pm, in reply to "I found this interesting" Yes, that's interesting Karen. Thanks for sharing. I listened to about half of the audio he has on there and sent it to my daughter. She is very much an emotional eater.
