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.
