A woman has kicked her 23-year cheese and onion crisp sandwich addiction with the help of a hypnotist.
Zoe Sadler, 25, turned to David Kilmurray after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
She said: “My mum and dad say I tried other foods as a toddler but I always refused to put them in my mouth.
“Apparently the only thing mum could get down me were crisps which I used to suck until they were soft.
“I remember being at school when I was little and having crisp sandwiches in my lunch box.
“I usually had a bowl of dry cereal for breakfast and then a crisp sandwich for lunch and another one for dinner.”
She added: “Christmas was always hard because I’d never want very much to eat. Then I was diagnosed with MS and I just thought, ‘I need to get healthier and feel better’.”
David hypnotised her after diagnosing her with avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder and she now has a healthy diet.
Zoe, of Coventry, was cured after two two-hour hypnotherapy sessions. The warehouse operative now enjoys strawberries, trips to Wagamama and wants to try curry.
London-based David said: “Huge credit to Zoe on her recovery.
“In a very short time she has been calmly eating new meals and incorporated new high grade fruits and vegetables to her ‘safe’ foods list.
“Recently diagnosed with MS, it is dangerous for her to live on a diet of just crisp sandwiches.”
