How do we let out those emotions that are disturbing us inside? Food is the first thing that comes to mind. How often do we find comfort in food to soothe our ill feelings? A lot of times, we do that. Instead of facing the problem, sitting down with what we feel, and truly knowing what we want, we choose to numb the pain and ignore the feeling with food.  Or we cry. But how do we cry? Do we let the negative thoughts set in, so we let the emotions out and get done with it? Or we do other forms of crying --- purging, binging, drinking, and what have you.  Yes, behind all this obsession with food is a big emotional battle that we are in. If only we learn to love ourselves again; this is where reparenting can greatly help. It's about using emotional mastery tools to help with our triggers, making that inner shamer inside us become something productive. And knowing how to balance between giving in to something where the answer is food or just a really good cry to let the emotions out. It is about leaning into our most authentic selves in all aspects of life. Hypnosis helps us go through this journey toward lasting freedom and happiness. "Binging and purging are that, when it's happening, it's signifying that there is a large emotion. And it could be from that shame or blaming oneself that needs to come out. And this is why it's so easy to cure these things and to have it not be an issue anymore for people. And it's a process." - Leslie Thornton  What you will learn from this episode: 01:19 - Talking about the emotional aspect of binging and purging 06:07 - Ways one avoids the inner shamer 10:08 - What causes one to binge [and how to be able to safely feel your feelings to get the emotions out] 13:33 - How do you cry? 15:20 - Allowing those negative thoughts in just so you let the emotions out  18:13 - We're not about dieting but living our authentic selves in all aspects 19:17 - Teaching yourself to look for a productive solution [what it looks like reparenting yourself] 32:45 - Steps you can do to fully heal from your past hurts and trauma [tools you can use to master those negative emotions] 34:16 - Learnings in failures [what the process tells you about the reasons you love yourself] 36:15 - Financing terms you can avail to become a part of the Hypnosis program 37:42 - What's your commitment to yourself?

The quest for love often intersects with the pursuit of physical perfection. Many of us, driven by societal pressures, find ourselves obsessively focused on weight loss as a means to attract the ideal partner. This fixation, however, can lead to a cycle of anxiety and disconnection from one's authentic self, ultimately hindering the very goal we seek to achieve. Despite rigorous dieting and weight loss efforts, the desired deep, meaningful relationships often remain elusive, leading to frustration and self-doubt. This struggle is magnified by the belief that physical appearance is the sole determinant of attractiveness and compatibility. People frequently ignore the deeper, more intrinsic factors that foster genuine connections. The constant worry about weight and diet not only disrupts one's emotional well-being but also diminishes the ability to be present and authentically engaged in relationships. This preoccupation hinders energy, intuition, and emotional expression—key elements that contribute to a vibrant and attractive persona. However, the solution lies not in relentless dieting, but in undertaking a profound journey of self-discovery and inner healing. By shifting the focus from external validation to internal alignment, individuals can unlock their true selves and, in turn, attract partners who appreciate them for who they genuinely are. Embracing this holistic approach to weight loss and self-acceptance paves the way for authentic relationships. In this episode, Leslie delves into this transformative process of healing by way of Hypnosis. Through Leslie's personal anecdotes and practical advice she highlights how embracing one's authentic self, including their natural body shape and eating habits, can lead to both permanent weight loss and the attraction of a truly compatible, loving partner. This journey, though challenging, ultimately empowers individuals to cultivate deeper connections and live fulfilling lives, free from the constraints of societal expectations.

Ep 245 How to Stay Consistent and on Track with your Eating

It's easy to be tempted with the allure of fast weight loss and the enticing thought of achieving the perfect body. But in a world saturated with restrictive diets promising quick fixes and miraculous transformations, it's essential to pause and consider the long-term implications of such approaches.  Such drastic actions often overshadow the detrimental effects of these restrictive regimens. As highlighted by Leslie's own experience, including those who have gone through this treacherous path of dieting themselves, restrictive diets often breed a sense of disempowerment and foster a toxic relationship with food. This relentless pursuit of perfection leaves no room for mistakes, thus promoting feelings of inadequacy and failure. Thereby sending one to be in a state of desperation. And that is never life changing. However,  there exists an alternative path—one that prioritizes holistic well-being and sustainable change over fleeting results. This alternative avenue is exemplified by practices such as Hypnosis for permanent weight loss. Hypnosis offers a unique approach to addressing the underlying issues that contribute to disordered eating habits. By delving into the subconscious mind, Hypnosis helps individuals unlock the barriers that impede their progress towards lasting change. Unlike restrictive diets, which focus solely on external factors like calorie count and food restriction, Hypnosis delves deeper, addressing the root causes of unhealthy behaviors. The efficacy of Hypnosis lies not only in its ability to raise awareness but also in its promotion of self-trust and empowerment. You will learn to listen to your body, make informed choices, and cultivate a positive relationship with food.  While restrictive diets may offer temporary results, they often come at a significant cost to mental and emotional well-being. By embracing alternative approaches like Hypnosis for permanent weight loss, individuals can embark on a journey towards sustainable change, reclaiming your freedom, lasting happiness, and fostering a newfound sense of balance and harmony with food and your body.  Let's dive deep into this episode and explore how we can completely get away from all the negative self-talk and fully embrace authenticity and life mastery. "I want you to know you can have absolutely anything you want. You just have to do what works to get there. You have to make a change. You have to ask for help. You have to get out of your comfort zone. And you have to INVEST in YOU." - Leslie Thornton What you will learn from this episode: 04:58 - Why Leslie is anti-diet and talking about the first step to your healing journey  07:26 - How food addiction differs from drug or alcohol addiction 10:03 - Empowerment over restrictive diets 12:07 - How you can join the free Hypnosis hour and what you can get from this 17:44 - Mastering your inner self-talk and what it would result to 21:51 - What this whole empowerment matter around food requires of you 26:01 - Why Leslie is qualified to coach you to reach your next level of transformation 27:58 - The second important thing to healing from food and body weight issues 31:23 - What is this third necessary aspect of your healing 32:53 - Here's the fourth part of your healing journey 35:55 - Leslie being as candid as she is talking about her journey in the making of this new masterclass and her passion to help 44:18 - Talking about the Hypnosis retreat experience and how it impacted participants 47:40 - The Masterclass: ‘How I Lost Weight Permanently and Stopped Stress-Eating Without Dieting or Excessive Excercise’ Valuable Resources:  Free Monthly Hypnosis for Weight Loss Session Join the 8-week Fastrack to Food Freedom Program -Guaranteed mental and emotional freedom from food   Connect With Leslie Thornton:  Book A Clarity Call  Free 2 Hour Masterclass—How I Lost Weight Permanently and Stopped Stress Eating without Dieting or Strenuous Exercise Website Facebook LinkedIn Email: Leslie@hpwl.co  If you enjoy the podcast, Would you please consider leaving a quick review on  Apple Podcasts/iTunes in under 60 seconds?

Ep 243 Is your destiny healing your relationship with food?

In one's pursuit of weight loss, you may find yourself desperate for quick fixes. And in one's longing to get the desired result as fast as you can, one is lured to get something that promises instant transformation. For the time being, it can be effective. Sure, you get what you want as fast as you can imagine it.  That's the new weight loss drug by Weight Watchers for you. It's anybody's dream of getting a solution in an instant. Yes, it does something to chop off extra pounds off you. You get what you've always wanted. That slimmer body, smaller waist, that swimsuit-body-flaunting-summer-ready-body you've been dying to have. Now, what then? For as long as when are you able to maintain that body?  Only for as long as your willpower can control it, that's going to be the situation. But what about when your restrictive power loses its grip? That's where you come back spiraling down.  When it comes to weight loss, much of your result comes from the mind. When you rely on a treatment that only fixes the physical aspect of weight loss and neglects the mind, that's not long-lasting. There's the mental and emotional aspect you need to look into. Once you take these into consideration then you are in for a sustainable weight loss. And that's where Hypnosis for permanent weight loss comes in. With it you get the tools for emotional and self-mastery. It helps individuals rewire their subconscious beliefs and behaviors surrounding food and body image. That's what you need to have that empowered choice around food where you no longer judge it for being good or bad. You get aligned for what feels right for you, not what anybody says is right for you. When you do, that's when authentic transformation happens and you experience lasting happiness and freedom.  "Weight loss drugs, they will make a difference probably to obviously so many people have lost weight. It's my belief that at the end of the day though they're gonna need our program. I have not found another program that has the hypnosis, the emotional mastery, the aligning to yourself with some amazing coaching." - Leslie Thornton What you will learn from this episode: 00:39 - Fixing the mind to fix your food and body issues 04:39 - An invitation to join Leslie's 2-hour free masterclass 06:40 - Insights into the new weight loss drugs trending now 10:14 - Why 'Weight Watchers' is not sustainable 15:13 - The need to understand the behavior instead of just controlling the behavior 20:59 - Side effects of the weight loss drugs 28:19 - Leslie's qualification to coach you into this Hypnosis program 29:15 - The emotional circus going on when you're on a diet mentality and how the negative thought inside your mind affect you  33:45 - What does Hypnosis teaches you about emotional eating [learn about the HEAL method] 37:36 - The possibility for you when you've got emotional mastery around food 40:04 - Successful client journey with Hypnosis and why Hypnosis is the best weight loss program out there 44:07 - How food is an indication of how you are out of alignment with yourself Valuable Resources:  Free Monthly Hypnosis for Weight Loss Session  Join the 8-week Fastrack to Food Freedom Program -Guaranteed mental and emotional freedom from food   Connect With Leslie Thornton:  Book A Clarity Call  Free 2 Hour Masterclass—How I Lost Weight Permanently and Stopped Stress Eating without Dieting or Strenuous Exercise Website Facebook LinkedIn Email: Leslie@hpwl.co  If you enjoy the podcast, Would you please consider leaving a quick review on  Apple Podcasts/iTunes in under 60 seconds?
