Dieters: The sight or smell of certain foods, different emotions and situations can trigger a desire to eat. This happens without us thinking, because it's part of the way our brains work. For example, a chocoholic responds to the packaging on a favoured brand of chocolate, and will often devour the velvety delicacy before they become consciously aware of what they are doing!
We can use this trigger effect to our advantage by becoming aware of it and inhibiting the desire to behave in a way normally associated with triggers.
Triggers set up a chain reaction of habitual behaviour, thinking patterns and body postures which we can stop, giving us the time and space we need to choose a different response. This stopping space not only allows room for a different approach but has an immediate calming effect.
The Poise programme will teach you to become aware of your triggers and the technique of stopping which will improve the way you feel and respond to food.
