With the weather now finally turning warmer and one's flesh having to be on show after being covered up by those winter layers for what seems like forever, many of us are turning our attention to losing a little weight and toning up.
Sometimes the temptation is to go for a quick-fix, those diets that promise 10lbs loss in 10 days seem very appealing. The downside is that, as soon as we go back to those old habits we tend to put all the weight back on (and more besides).
The real secret to lasting weight loss is changing our habits so that we are eating less and exercising more - it's really that simple, but often so hard to put into practice.
Hypnotherapy works by sending messages to the sub-conscious mind to only eat when we are hungry and to notice that full-signal sooner, and stop eating. What also happens is that we have an increased urge to take exercise.
For those people who have over three stone to lose, the hypnotic gastric band is a powerful way to reduce appetite and shed the pounds easily and for good.
If you are considering hypnotherapy for weight loss, I would be really pleased to hear from you - you can call me on 01449 780352or 0781 7158429, or email me on wendy@wendychalk.co.uk.
Enjoy the nice weather.

IVF pioneer and remarkable man
In a week which has been dominated by media coverage of the death of Margaret Thatcher, I was disappointed to see that the death of Professor Sir Robert Edwards, the pioneer of IVF treatment and somebody who brought hope and joy to many thousands of infertile couples, has warranted very little mention.
It's interesting to note that they were both the same age at death, 87 years, and both had great personal conviction about what they believed in, despite facing much opposition. Whatever your politics, it is impossible to deny Margaret Thatcher's achievement as first woman and longest serving Prime Minister. However, I believe that Sir Robert deserves the most accolades, as it is thanks largely to him and his collaboration with Patrick Steptoe, a gynaecologist, that infertility is now a treatable condition.
Of course, I would sing this man' praises, as if he hadn't conducted this work, then my wonderful and talented son, Olly, would not exist.
So between him and Margaret Thatcher, I know which one I would give the state funeral to.

Gutted
Are you one of many people who suffer with IBS? This debilitating condition seems to affect more and more people, and it seems that mainstream medicine is limited in providing a cure for this.
The problem is that very often there seems to be no physical cause of the symptoms of IBS which can include diarrhoea, constipation, bloating, wind along with crippling abdominal pain. Once your GP has ruled out any obvious physical cause of the symptoms, very often you are advised to look at any anxieties or stresses which may be potentially causing these debilitating symptoms.
This is where hypnotherapy can help, and in fact is now recommended by NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) as a treatment option for IBS. The reason for this is that hypnotherapy is an excellent way of calming and relaxing the body and mind, and in addition to this, specific suggestions can be given which help to calm the stomach and digestive tract, so that it can begin to work normally again.
If you are troubled by IBS symptoms, please give me a call on 01449780352 or 0781 7158429 or email me on wendy@wendychalk.co.uk.
Best wishes,
