Gastric band hypnotherapy has totally transformed me

Here is another inspiring story from a mum of two who has lost an amazing 5.5 stones since her first hypnotherapy session with me in August.
She looks totally amazing now – like a different person. And she says she pretty much feels like one too!
But it took getting stuck in a dress while trying one on in a store to spur her into action.

Sam Alderwish is 36 and lives with her husband and her two young children in south Birmingham
And here in her own words is her experience of having gastric band hypnotherapy:

“Before having children I was always quite slim. I could pretty much eat anything – and I did!
But after my second child I just couldn’t shift the extra weight.
I didn’t really care to be honest, my priorities were elsewhere. I just wanted to focus on the children.
My husband would gently say things but I didn’t pay any attention. In fact, any time it was pointed out to me I would just rebel.
To be fair, my portion sizes were ridiculously large, but I didn’t want to hear it.

In May this year (when this ‘before’ photo was taken) I went to a party and when I saw the photos I felt fat and not at all confident.
By July I had put on even more weight.
I tried to diet, but I’d have a good couple of days and then the minute something bad or stressful happened I was back to square one and it would all go to pot.

I was trying to lose weight for a wedding we were invited to.
I remember trying a dress on in a shop and I got stuck in it – mortifying. But I just didn’t have the willpower to do anything about it.
Then, at the wedding one of my cousins was brutally honest with me, I came away feeling really crap but I think it’s what I needed to hear to spur me into action.
Then a couple of days later I watched Lorraine Kelly on TV and saw something about gastric band hypnotherapy and decided there and then that I would look into it.
I found Russell after researching online, phoned him, liked what he said and that was it.

He has literally changed my life
I have gone from 13.5 stone down to 8 after my first session in August.
I had 4 sessions; the second one was to ‘fit’ the gastric band and I can honestly say my weight loss has been easy.

I immediately went out and bought an exercise bike and it’s become a daily ritual now.
it has changed the way I eat. My portion sizes have dramatically reduced, I drink lots of water and lots of fruit (which I NEVER did before)
It is no longer a constant battle for me. In fact I’d say weight loss is easy
Plus my children get to see me exercising and eating healthily and my husband has even set himself up a little gym in the shed!

I can’t believe how it’s changed our whole family. I didn’t feel like I was in control before, now I have more energy, much more confidence – and I am constantly shopping because I keep going down dress sizes!
I can have a treat now and not feel like beating myself up about it, because I think it’s really important not to deprive yourself.
I remember someone once telling me ‘the bigger you are the smaller you feel’ and I can totally relate to that now.
I am never going back. Never ever ever ever ever EVER!
All my old clothes have gone now anyway so I can’t!”

Let me tell you, Sam looks amazing and it’s great to see how her transformation has has such a positive effect on the whole family too.
She has been charting her success on the Bridge Clinic Facebook page also, so you can see more photos of her success there!
