Episode Title: The Invisible Weight You’re Carrying (and How to Release It) Host: Leslie M. Thornton

Episode Summary: In this transformative episode of the Hypnosis for Permanent Weight Loss Podcast, Leslie M. Thornton dives deep into why traditional dieting fails and how to create lasting change through emotional mastery and hypnosis. Leslie shares valuable insights and powerful tools to help you rewire the beliefs and patterns that keep you stuck in the cycle of dieting, guilt, and inconsistency.

Key Takeaways:

• The Dieting Cycle: Why 95% of people who lose weight gain it back and how diets only work on the conscious mind, not the subconscious, which is where permanent change happens.

• The Power of Emotional Mastery: How to identify and overcome emotional eating triggers and stop the all-or-nothing mindset that sabotages progress.

• The Role of Hypnosis: How hypnosis helps rewire deep-rooted beliefs and behaviors around food, weight, and body image.

• The Importance of Action and Support: To make permanent changes, you must take action, get support, and stay focused on what you truly desire—peace, energy, and confidence—rather than just focusing on what you don’t want.

• The Shame Trap: Understanding how shame impacts your ability to move forward and a simple exercise to start releasing shame.

• A New Approach to Weight Loss: Instead of more dieting and willpower, focus on emotional healing and lasting mental shifts to create a new, sustainable relationship with food and your body.
