A fight against overweight since adolescence

Mrs S consults me to help him lose weight. It has an overweight family context paternal and the maternal side history of diabetes. It has hypothyroidism correctly treated. his history dates back to the age of 15 when she was on its "round" statements. At the time she weighed 64 kg for 1.67 m (BMI of 23 so "normal"). She made her first diet and lost 6 kg. It stabilizes the weight until the age of 25 to 58 kg. She then puts on weight during her pregnancies. After her second pregnancy, reaching 64 kg, she decided to do a strict diet. It amounts to 58 kg, but this restriction is associated with depression. She then gained weight to 75 kg. She wants to lose weight "to be less out of breath and be healthy." It states also that I always felt big. About his eating, she tells me have tendencies to crack on food taste for stress or boredom. To the question "think that your husband? "She said to me that he is athletic and he sometimes made him some thoughts ??

First sessions of hypnosis

We discuss diet and I asked him to work the problems of stress and compulsions using hypnosis. I see her again after one month for a first session: its weight is stable at 76 kg, it did not change anything on the dietary plan and she feels sad. Our first hypnosis session is focused on bodily sensations and this sadness. This session allows for a sense of comfort. I see her again three weeks later. She told me to get better and have fewer compulsions. However, it is disappointed by the attitude of her husband and believes that its torque through a difficult period. We work again on his emotional state, especially on anger is dominant. She tells me not bear that weight 76 kg and hope that we consider more stringent measures.

The "weight of the entourage"

I see her again after a month. She has not lost weight ?? She tells me that every time she controls well and losing weight (loss of 2 kg in 1 week!), She resumed immediately following weekend. I asked him to work this into hypnosis. This session is particularly instructive. The technique is an exploration from bodily sensations. During the meeting, Ms. S "finds" in his office, surrounded by his mother and her husband ?? The two people who have always wanted it slim?? and she does not want to. The emotional reaction is then strong because Mrs S wants to be loved for what it is and not for physical criteria. We are working on the expression of feelings and the session ends with a new sense of comfort. Mrs S then explained to me that his mother was always insistent on her weight issues and her husband took over. If all her life, she began plans to make them happy, now it was over. They have to accept it as it is. In fact, Ms. S is caught in a dilemma: "lose weight and give the impression to follow the entourage injunctions" or "do not lose weight and feel bad in his body. "There is no question that she gives in to his entourage, but she would feel better.

Lose weight for yourself

I see her again a month later. She says I have decided to lose weight but for her this time. We work in hypnosis on the projection image. His weight has remained stable for both previous. A months later, she's better. She told me to have changed his diet, used self-hypnosis, and no longer suffer compulsions. She lost 2 kg. Subsequently, it takes a sport. It has less weight obsession and lost for now 8 kg. In parallel, she began couples therapy. The reconstruction is running. The history of this patient perfectly illustrates the difficulty and challenges of change. Losing weight brought Mrs. S to a more complex problem, "is what you really love me for who I am or simply for my appearance? ". Reflection entirely valid when considering the stigma of weight problems in our society.
