Depression and anxiety help to create an internal physiological environment that’s antagonistic to weight loss and actively encourages emotional eating. 

 

Sandra invited cognitive hypnotherapist Simon Bates to her Slimpod Extra live chat and he shared guidance on how you can begin to reduce the time spent in the depressing past and anxious future, to enjoy the current moment more and give yourself a better chance of losing weight effectively.

 

This is a 50-minute edited version of their chat, which was hit by some Facebook technical hiccups beyond our control. Apologies to Slimpodders who had difficulty tuning in – hope it didn’t cause too much stress and anxiety!
