Hypnosis for Permanent Weight Loss

Ep 295 Happiness First, Weight Loss Second Why You’ve Had It Backwards All Along


Listen Later

Are you still waiting for the number on the scale to give you permission to feel confident, happy, or worthy? Do you find yourself trapped in a cycle of self-criticism and stress, thinking that losing weight will finally make everything fall into place? What if the key to lasting change isn’t in the number, but in how you treat yourself now?

This constant self-criticism not only keeps you stuck but also ruins your ability to make lasting changes. The more you wait for "the right moment," the more you delay your joy, peace, and dreams. Every day spent in stress or shame robs you of the energy and motivation you need to create a fulfilling life.

The solution lies in shifting your mindset from punishment to self-care. By prioritizing inner peace, self-worth, and emotional safety, you can break free from the cycle and create the transformation you desire. It's time to put your happiness first—right now.

"You are worthy of joy now. You don't have to earn your happiness. You are worthy of joy right now. You don't have to earn your happiness and your freedom is not 10 pounds away or 20 or 30 or 50 or a hundred. It's one decision away. Please say yes to the version of you who puts peace first." - Leslie Thornton
