Does the word Bikini trigger panic? You are not alone. Stripping off to your bikini or swimwear on the beach is the most feared summertime pursuit amongst women, new research has revealed. According to a recent poll* nearly 75% of the 3,300 women surveyed dreaded wearing a swimming costume in public, while 62% also answered that they worried about baring their bodies in other types of revealing clothing during hot weather.
Former Corrie Actress and Dancing on Ice winner Gaynor Faye reveals: “Although I always look forward to my summer holiday and basking in the sunshine, like most women I'm not 100% confident about bearing all in my bikini around the pool or at the beach especially after having had two children, but the minute I try and cut out on chocolate, carbs or other comfort food the stress of denial makes abstinence even harder.
“I've found the Bach Emotional Eating Kit has really helped me to take control of my cravings in the lead up to the summer, so I feel happy and confident with my body. When I am having one of those worry days where I’m feeling body conscious, instead of eating a bar of chocolate to cheer myself up I grab the Bach Emotional Eating Kit to help me keep on the right track.”
BachTM Emotional Eating Kitis a set of three 10ml flower essences to give a helping hand with diet and healthy living regimes. It is the first product available in the UK to help with emotional eating. You can create your own individual combination and adapt it to suit your changing moods. The essences are alcohol free and suitable for the whole family.
Bach Emotional Eating Kit includes the essences:
-
Crab Apple – When you feel unclean or dislike something about yourself, Crab Apple can help you accept yourself and your imperfections. Self acceptance means you are less likely to rely on food to make you feel good.
-
Cherry Plum – When you fear you might lose control of your diet, Cherry Plum can help you to think and act rationally.
-
Chestnut Bud – When you find yourself repeating the same dieting mistakes, Chestnut Bud can help you gain knowledge from your experience. This means you are less likely to fall into your old bad habits, for example reaching for food when things get tough.
Bach Emotional Eating Kit costs around £11.00 and is available from Boots, Holland and Barrett and all good independent healthfood and pharmacy stores. For more information, visit www.bachremedies.co.uk
