Hypnosis for Permanent Weight Loss

It has been some time, and you have been hopping from one diet trend to another, and nothing's happening, and you're still as desperate as you have been to chop off those unwanted pounds. If you look at your relationships, family life, and self-image — nothing seems to be in place, and things feel like some aspects of your life are in disarray. You may be successful, careerwise but deep down, a big question lies.

You keep comparing yourself with others – their accomplishments and achievements. Even the littlest of imperfections is a big deal to you.

How can you be truly free and have that long-lasting peace of mind?

In this episode, our guest, Kierra Jones, shares how one should stop that 'pedestal pressure' you have put yourself under. You tire yourself with the stress that comes with it; you also end up getting in despair keeping up with everybody else.

The only way for things to get going and flowing is to accept your own truth, getting authentic about yourself.

When choosing a diet or health routine for you, just always remember that no 'one-size-fits-all.' Find what works best for you. And choose food that feels good for and helps your body.

There is no point rushing things because you bloom and shine in your own time. Be in the moment.

What's also important is that you put out there that power message – voicing out what you want for yourself, acting on it, confidently owning your truth, and being comfortable with your authentic self.

And the way to help you with that is by having a conversation with yourself, holding space to ask important questions to get to your core and make things happen, emboldening your voice to align with your life and business.

Kierra Jones is international visibility and sales mindset and messaging coach, speaker, and Amazon Best Selling author. Her coaching programs courses and speaking help women get the messaging monetization and mindset they need to show up, speak and sell their genius more powerfully, purposefully and profitably. She is deeply passionate about helping women activate their voice and their own value more powerfully to unapologetically create an experience and align life and business.

"Literally, voice is how I speak. But it's so much deeper. It comes into play with so many things. It could be food and diet, it could be relationships, whether you're in a career or business because in short, you really are activating your voice and I oftentimes say your power message is actually you declaring what you want." - Kierra Jones

Are you still obsessing about food and falling off the tracks with your diet plans every now and then? Have you been enrolling and checking on every diet trend available elsewhere online, and still nothing seems to work? All the more you get confused, depressed, sad, and not in control of your weight all this time?

What about you sit down with yourself and ask what truly is it that you want for your life now and the rest of it?

Hypnosis for permanent weight loss can help you achieve a lifetime of peace and freedom that has evaded you for so long.

"You've got to simplify, you've got to make a decision, you've got to take all other things out. Own your truth. You already know what you want, just keep asking deep down inside what is it that you are truly asking for." - Leslie Thornton

Most of us have this wrong notion about motivation. We wait for that perfect time when we feel like doing it. We even have alcohol or caffeine, or anything we can grab to feed us so we get that engine of motivation started. We actually believe we get motivated now before we get started on anything we want to be done. Truth is, we have to start doing, so motivation starts rolling in. And what actually causes us not to get motivated? For one, we don't decide and get committed to what we do. We don't get invested in what we do for one reason or another. The second thing is, so many unresolved issues are messing up in the background. And you haven't figured out how to process it and completely deal with it; hence getting you stuck in the trap. Thirdly, change of value; you no longer believe in something you've adhered to before. And when that happens it gets really hard to stick on a diet or exercise. What would make you feel that motivation is to get into something you are fully invested in, giving you the support and encouragement, the freedom to express yourself fully, feeling safe in expressing your thoughts and emotions. What better way to help with motivation than to be with like-minded people in Hypnosis for permanent weight loss.

"Most people believe that motivation comes before you do a task. Anybody use food for motivation, or caffeine or even alcohol? Yeah, absolutely it happens all the time. Now, the one thing that people need to understand, based on what this expert said is that motivation actually happens after you start." - Leslie Thornton

Topics Covered:

02:01 - What is motivation, the wrong beliefs about it, and how that actually happens

05:40 - The first of three reasons why people can't get motivated

07:20 - Second reason why people get demotivated

13:10 - Third reason for people not to get motivated to do something they ought to do

Don't you know that the triggers we experience in childhood are factors blocking our weight loss? Medical studies show that whatever stress or emotional issues we deal with early on in life will become medical problems later in life.

The mind and body will create a shield to shut out all the pain by eating them away with food.

That's what often happens than what we care to know about.

Do you want to mask it forever with false cures, or do you want that peace and freedom for the rest of your life?

Dr. Franchell Hamilton's years of education started at the University of Houston Honors College, where she received her bachelor's degree in Psychology and Chemistry, summa cum laude. She further pursued her education in Lyon, France, where she completed graduate studies in biochemical engineering. It was not until the chance encounter with an orthopedic surgeon that Dr. Hamilton's future began to take shape. Upon hearing that Dr. Hamilton was unsure of what to do with her future, he encouraged her to pursue a career in medicine.

In just this brief interaction with a stranger, a new path was formed. The impact of his words inspired Dr. Hamilton to also change the lives of those she meets through practicing medicine, and eventually, consulting. And so, she continued her education at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio to earn her doctorate in medicine. She then attended Eastern Virginia Medical School to complete her residency, and ultimately her fellowship at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. The bariatric surgeon she was studying under demonstrated the large impact weight loss alone can have on a person's health. This realization led her to refine the scope of her medical career by focusing on weight loss and wellness. After completing her bariatric fellowship in 2013, Dr. Hamilton did just that. She founded A Better Weigh Center – a place for her patients to receive treatments ranging from bariatric surgery and medical weight loss to hormone therapy.

In this episode, Dr. Franchell shares how mindset is essential in any patient's weight loss journey as it impacts the way you deal with pain and stress. If your emotions are not stabilized and dealt with firsthand, you will always go back to how you used to be.

You can have the surgery now, but the littlest of triggers will make you spiral back to food obsession if you don't feel safe in your thoughts and emotions. And the same problem keeps presenting itself with no permanent solution.

There is a huge emotional factor after surgery. Relationships also play a big part in this. And when these things are all being addressed first, even that alone can help you lose weight.

And Hypnosis is all about that mindset work – working on your emotional mastery, not just giving you a temporary solution but one of lasting transformation.

"I always empower my patients as we can; if you want surgery, we have to go through this mindset stuff first. If you don't, and then who knows? At the end of four months, three months, you may not need surgery. So, I often leave it up to them. I've had people who were on the surgery track and did so well that they didn't need surgery, and even my surgery patients, they do better and keep it off permanently." - Dr. Franchell Hamilton

What you will learn from this episode:

00:53 - The reason that got her into becoming a weight loss surgeon

08:29 - How did the mindset that comes with permanent weight loss come in?

12:58 - Revamping the way she deals with patients' weight loss and sharing what the process looks like

16:38 - Ways to help you deal with all the past trauma, feeling safe, and with no fear of judgment

19:35 - When does she suggest when to just work on the mindset or else do both, work on the mindset and surgery next

23:02 - Sharing the possibility of losing a 100-pound weight with mindset alone and no surgery

27:20 - What role your support system plays when deciding to go on bariatric surgery

30:37 - A big undertaking that you have to expect and be prepared for when doing bariatric surgery

31:39 - Talking about what her book is all about: Transformation Is A Mindset: The Journey to Changing Your Input and Your World

32:15 - Sharing about an app of which she is the medical director that helps create better habits, be more positive, and be more grateful: Fresh Tri

How many of you can resonate with the fact that you tell yourself to stick to your diet every day? But before you know it, you catch yourself dipping into a bag of chips, and there's no way to stop yourself anymore. And there you are, feeling guilty about doing it. You're not alone. I've been through that. I know the feeling; how it must have been awful for you to be constantly obsessing over food and feeling to be seemingly helpless to get out of the trap. For all you know, it's not your fault. It's more than willpower to get you out of that mental chatter that is self-sabotaging. Somewhere deep inside, something is not right.

Hypnosis is a tool that helps you get aligned with other parts of yourself that need healing. It's only when you seek help and have that emotional mastery do you find yourself on your way to a lifetime of freedom and sustainable success. Act now!

"A sustainable way to be successful is that you also learn how to healthily manage those stressors and those feelings along the way, while you're still going after your goals in a super powerful way." - Leslie Thornton

02:15 - Self-sabotage - what is it?

Losing weight is already one big challenge, but how much harder is it for one when you have all this unwanted baggage and inhibitions that you haven't dealt with for the longest time? What happens is, for all those pains and frustrations that you cannot express, you'll end up numbing them with food. And before you know it, you're a few dreaded pounds more than the last time you checked. Here's the thing with having permanent weight loss, that for you to have a lifetime transformation, you've got to have the choice of having that mental sanity that whatever weight you're at, it doesn't bother you and that you free yourself from whatever it is that's controlling you.

That diet mentality is what's keeping you from moving out of that zone, and the reason why you're still stuck in your food and bodyweight problem is that you think it's all about restricting everything. That's not true at all.

The only thing that will truly set you free is when you make the choice of stepping out of your food prison and that mental madness of constantly dreading weight gain and all that control you're holding on to.

There's hard work getting there, but life becomes so much better when you finally get to that point where food doesn't matter anymore.

That's what Hypnosis is about, slowing those mental chatters and releasing all those controls, so you're free around food, eating what you feel like, and just being present at the moment.

"I gotta tell you, life is way better since I made that choice [stepping out of that diet mentality], though it felt extremely painful on my way to get here. But I can't even tell you how much I love my life now. I would not have been able to grow and expand into the woman I am today if I still had the shackles of diet mentality around me, and being terrified of gaining weight." - Leslie Thornton

What you will learn from this episode:

02:07 - What it looked like for this woman knowing and feeling she is unwanted

03:34 - Who we are with all those baggage and who we are without those inhibitions

06:30 - One important thing you need to understand about permanent weight loss

07:58 - Steps to take to stop all the madness around food and body weight

09:54 - How life turns so much better after all the pain of getting there

11:56 - It's all about letting go of that control, whatever that is, that you kept on holding on

Not happy with the way you are now? How come your bodyweight is entirely different from others, even how hard you try to keep fit and slender, even if you are already doing the right things? Are you someone diagnosed with some condition believed to be the culprit for all your weight gain? Do you undergo constant medication just so you get rid of all those unwanted pounds but still to no avail?

Are you eating the bare minimum, counting how many pounds you have to lose, or you have lost?

Do you have suicidal tendencies and depression over your current situation?

Fret not; you're not alone.

Is there a way out for you to have lasting peace and freedom from all of these?

In this episode, an HPWL graduate, Katie Orson, tells her own journey of how things were like before she joined Hypnosis.

For an athlete like her, you would think it would be easy for her to have the body she wanted.

But for many years, even when she was active in sports, things weren't easy for her where losing weight is concerned.

She had to go through everything mentioned above. One can just imagine what a struggle it must have been to go through all of those at such a young age and find no hope and solution.

But then Hypnosis came, and that's what makes all the difference.

Where before she was all tied up to this diet mentality and exercise thing that controlled her and not making any progress, today, she's all making empowered choices on what she wants to eat and being present with how she feels at the moment and not restricting herself from eating what she feels and wants to eat at the moment.

In fact, for the longest time that nothing happened to her weight loss journey, this time around she's starting to fall off the weight she used to have. But not so much because she is exercising or whatnot; but because the mindset shift around food and in many things that she's doing and thinking is doing its work. And that is, thanks to Hypnosis.

"You might be someone that can accomplish it in eight weeks, like, it's gonna be different for everyone. You just have to do your best to go in with an open mind and know that whatever happens, you're bettering yourself, even if it's not five huge steps forward. Like, you're better off than you were when you started. That's all that matters." - Katie Orson

What you will learn from this episode:

01:40 - What her weight loss journey looked like before joining Hypnosis

05:57 - How do people point out her body weight, and did the thought of that alienate her from others?

06:51- What effect does it have on her hearing other people's comments about her weight

11:36 - Experiencing trying every medication she could have for her body weight and polycystic ovarian condition

14;48 - The hard cycle she has to go through

16:11 - What it's like when you do everything, and your body still works against you

19:07 - Her world and how it looks like as she grapples with her body weight

21:58 - Thoughts on why some aren't fit but already doing the right thing

26:09 - What makes Hypnosis the right program for her and lessons learned from doing the program

30:58 - Dealing with a breakup

34:10 - What was the Hypnosis experience like for her?

40:41 - Support from other people making a huge difference in her life

45:06 - Not letting the financial burden stop you from pursuing what can help you and feeling in the right place now

49:22 - Seeing results and losing almost 20 pounds now

52:40 - Enjoying eating now and deciding what you want to eat and not necessarily restricting yourself

57:40 - Not feeling guilty about food but just enjoying it

01:03:51 - What she wants to say to someone who is in the same situation as she was before

When you go through alone in facing and hurdling your struggles, it is harder for you to succeed. There comes a time you will lack motivation, and what would likely happen is you isolate yourself. And that's what keeps you stuck all throughout. For that entire time, you will only be bugged by the noises running through your head, and nothing will ever happen. But when you take action and invest in yourself, something bigger and more profound happens. We learn more, and in so doing, we grow more. And we do better in life -- personal and careerwise. That's what's going to happen when we show the universe that we deserve the peace and freedom that eluded us for the longest time.

Another thing is, you don't have to do things alone. If all you think is that you are the only one having that problem, that obsession with food that is so hard to resist, that feeling of shame and guilt -- you are wrong. Having a community of people who go through what you are experiencing provides a support system that makes your journey worth taking your steps on. With someone to guide you and motivate you when things don't seem to go right, it's one big help. Not to mention having people who know exactly what you are facing and sharing their own triumphs and struggles, is something to look forward to.

As you decide to invest in yourself, you will be tested, though. The feelings of insecurity and scarcity come in to make you feel guilty about taking care of yourself. That is hard, but you always have a choice of listening to that voice of you getting out of the trap you are in or giving in to that fear, that scarcity mindset. It's all about believing and acting on something that will give tremendous benefits long-term.

If you decide to invest for yourself big time, it will also come back to you in more ways than one. That's how things happen. Significant investment means a big commitment. And if it's for your lifetime of peace and freedom, it's all the more worth it.

"If we don't have that community, if we don't have that system of support of those champions behind our back, who are also doing the same thing we are, it makes it extremely challenging to succeed. I actually 100% believe that it's absolutely impossible to succeed." - Leslie Thornton

What you will learn from this episode:

02:47 - The power of investing in yourself

10:11 - What comes up every time you make a decision to care for yourself that keeps you stuck

11:17 - The difference between you and Elon Musk

14:18 - What happens when you don't listen to the fear but to the voice wanting to never be stuck again

17:36 - What leadership teaches you and what a community of champions helps you with

18:41 - The reason why Leslie's business was not growing and what she realized when she invested in a high ticket course

23:01 - Things get less scary as you get out of your comfort zone every time you invest in yourself

27:57 - What those fears and nervousness you feel tell you when you invest in yourself

29:07 - How the law of attraction works when you invest in yourself

It's so nice to be able to get back to your old self again and fit into a small pant size, wear that swimsuit you've been eagerly wanting to do, and strut yourself up on a beach somewhere and have that bodyweight you've been wishing for come to reality. That is indeed so good to the desire for yourself. Who wouldn't want that? But more than losing weight and getting that skinny body you want for yourself, it's about getting that right mindset on how to deal with body image and weight issues. It's about healing that part of yourself that reacts to triggers that, if when hit wrongly, will have you spiraling downward again and losing control of all that you've resolved to do. More importantly, it's about doing away entirely with all that diet mentality we were made to believe worked but only made us feel worse about ourselves the moment we fall off track of it.

Think about this -- getting uncomfortable, feeling all the emotions, feeling all the pain, excavating into the deep recesses of your being and bringing it to the surface, and laying things all out for you to deal with once and for all. That way, you get emotional mastery of whatever comes your way and, in the process, lose weight without you knowing it, and food is no longer what you are obsessing about.

Ready for that? Come and let's hop on the journey of a lifetime of peace and freedom.

"Everyone who comes to this program really wants to lose weight. But they have the awareness, and they have the understanding that it is about way more than the weight that's holding them back. They're aware that it's their mindset, they're aware, you're aware that you've been struggling with this for your entire life. You're also aware that you feel like you can't do it again, that at this point in your life, you can't do another diet again, and you're scared to death that it's all going to come back." - Leslie Thornton

What you will learn from this episode:

01:18 - Quick announcement

04:59 - How weight loss can happen with ease and grace

07:55 - Who this program is for

13:45 - What you need to understand about this permanent weight loss

15:45 - How to force yourself to make time for yourself and really show up

19:16 - The many things we do to face the challenges of the times, but that is not getting deep into the real issue

21:01 - Getting that relaxed, peaceful, and meaningful conversation with everyone

24:35 - How to be present and enjoy every moment of where you're at without obsessing about food

27:19 - Feeling the pain and all the emotions and getting done with it and being free

You know you are successful, but deep inside, you are struggling. You seem to be having the time of your life and in your career but at the back of your head you're constantly battling over your food issues. At one point, you succeed in putting off those unwanted pounds, and at other times you give in to your cravings.

Everything is set aside, and you are back to your bingeing self again. And you ask yourself, when are you going to be out of that trap?

Do you want to find out how for the longest time, in her constant struggle of losing weight, she has finally stopped feeling like a prisoner to food?

In this episode, our guest, Melynda Cassis, an HPWL graduate, shares how her life took a turn for the better by joining Leslie's Hypnosis program. She is one successful woman in her field, but despite her career being all roses, there is one aspect of her life she is struggling with: her food and body weight issues.

Not until she found Hypnosis did all those connecting and tapping to her authentic self happen, and all the self-work transpired, and things came out beautifully and finally found her peace and freedom about what is troubling her the most.

"I want to say, to be honest, in the way, yes, I've lost a few pounds. But it's bigger than that. I've gained confidence, and control. And I've let go of the feeling like a prisoner to food. It's like, I weigh less in my mind when it comes to the connection of food. And I've just gained strength and understanding of myself that I didn't have before the program, which to me means more than what the scale says." - Melynda Cassis

What you will learn from this episode:

02:09 - Successful but struggling with food issues -- her life before Hypnosis, what brought her to the program, and how her life turned around within Hypnosis

11:43 - How this program introduces you to a support system that you would never have gotten within your family and even among friends

19:31 - Paying attention to that spiritual piece inside you

28:04 - How this Hypnosis program taps into your authentic YOU whether you are new or coming back to this self-work

35:43 - What Melynda would like to tell everyone about her Hypnosis journey: 'Keep this priority in front of you. Be gentle with yourself. Don't be so judgmental of yourself. Just open yourself up to a different way of approaching weight loss. And jump in. Seriously jump in.'
