Hypnotherapy Helps Woman Drop Five Dress Sizes

A 32-year-old woman has seen her weight fall off after having a hypnotherapy session.

Kim Robinshaw described to Fleetwood Weekly News how she used to eat large portions of food every day, but her time with a hypnotherapist allowed her to feel full after just a bowl of soup.

Over the course of just over a year she has slimmed down from being 21 stone and wearing a size 24, to being under 14 stone; often fitting into a size 14 dress. This was achieved with the aid of an approach favoured by many hypnotherapists - the 'virtual gastric band'.

Ms Robinshaw said: "I decided the money I would spend on hypnosis was only about the same as I would pay going to a slimming group every week, so I'd give it a go. I think because I could see it working for someone else, it was encouraging."

In an interview with Mail Online, she said hypnotherapy has changed her life completely and given her the willpower necessary to slim down. Despite all the weight she has lost though, she says she intends to keep going.

The primary school teacher also revealed that her "incredible" weight loss allowed her to enjoy her first solid Christmas dinner for two years over the recent festive holidays.
