Nothing is more powerful than our thoughts. Besides, society tells us that is what is happening. And we believe it. The same thing happens with menopause. Though Science points out facts around weight gain and not losing weight, ultimately, it's what we believe that matters.  If you continue reinforcing the belief of what everybody says about it with the bad habits and thinking, that would only add up to making you not drop off those excess pounds even more. Statistics have proven that many women have dropped pounds even in their menopause stage. There is so much that belief can do to lose weight.  If all you think about is what others say about menopause, consider thinking that there could be something else adding up to this wrong notion about menopause and losing weight. Something deep-rooted might be getting in the way, which needs to be addressed. Hypnosis can help you figure that out.  "There are so many things tied into menopause, around weight gain, and that you can't lose weight. It doesn't mean that Science isn't real. I know physiologically what happens, but I also know that you can actually lose weight. But your belief could be what's holding you back.

Have you ever found yourself caught in a cycle of on and off dieting, perpetually striving for weight loss only to be met with frustration and disappointment? This struggle, familiar to many, often stems from deeper emotional issues that go unaddressed. The constant battle with food, body image, and weight can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, and self-hatred, trapping individuals in an endless loop of fleeting diets and temporary fixes.  The real problem lies not in the diets themselves, but in the underlying emotional turmoil that drives these behaviors. To break free from this cycle, it's essential to shift focus from external goals to inner healing and self-awareness. By understanding and aligning with our true desires and addressing the root emotional causes, we can achieve lasting peace and fulfillment in our relationship with food and our bodies.  Hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) offer powerful tools to help individuals tap into their inner truth, manage their emotional states, and ultimately transform their approach to health and well-being. "You will always be a yo-yo dieter if you do not actually pay attention and heal stuff. That anger, self-hatred, sadness, fear, hurt, guilt, shame, that's just hanging around there. That's the emotion that's causing you to eat. That's the emotion that causes you to binge eat. So it's like tackling that and you're creating spaciousness in your body." - Leslie Thornton What you will learn from this episode: 00:01 - Addressing the common struggle of staying accountable to oneself despite being a person of high integrity who holds others to their word 02:12 - Integrity versus perfectionism and how they impact self-accountability with regard to dieting and weight loss 09:10 - The importance of emotional mastery and introspection rather than rigid perfectionism 16:23 - Seeking support and exploring programs that focus on holistic, sustainable transformation rather than temporary, restrictive measures 22:22 - Achieving lasting change in weight and health requires aligning actions with one's true desires 25:12 - Focusing on what genuinely brings you peace and happiness instead of being driven by ego or societal expectations 29:42 - Understand and accept your current state rather than constantly shifting between different diets and approaches 34:22 - Recognizing and addressing underlying emotional issues rather than just focusing on external goals or diets 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 250 Why don't I stay accountable to myself?

Are you tired of the short-term results from personal trainers and nutritionists? Do you find yourself sliding back into old habits despite rigorous workout routines and carefully planned diets? The problem isn't with your effort or commitment; it's that traditional approaches often focus solely on external changes without addressing the internal struggles that drive your behaviors. Imagine spending hours at the gym and meticulously counting calories, only to be derailed by emotional triggers that lead to overeating or unhealthy food choices. It's frustrating and disheartening, leaving you feeling like a failure, stuck in a cycle that seems impossible to break. These external solutions, while beneficial, don't equip you with the tools to manage the emotional and psychological aspects of your relationship with food. This is where Hypnosis and emotional mastery come in as game-changers. Unlike traditional methods, the Hypnosis program dives deep into the root causes of your eating habits. By addressing emotional triggers and developing a strong, resilient mindset, you'll achieve lasting freedom from food-related stress and guilt. This holistic approach not only transforms your eating behaviors but also enhances your overall emotional well-being, leading to sustainable, life-long results. Today, we'll be exploring the differences between Hypnosis for permanent weight loss and more conventional approaches like hiring a personal trainer or nutritionist. Inspired by insights shared by a client who recently completed her eight-week Hypnosis program, we'll uncover why Hypnosis isn't just about shedding pounds but also about transforming your relationship with food, body, and self. Let's explore a new path to lasting change and emotional mastery. "If you're someone who feels guilty, shameful, upset, fearful around any topic, food, body and weight, going to the doctor and stepping on the scale-- any of that. If any of that emotionally upsets you, then using a nutritionist or a personal trainer will help you get the results short term. It will not get you to live a life in full color." - Leslie Thornton What you'll learn from this episode: 01:01 -  highlighting a client experience on the  differences between hiring a fitness coach, personal trainer, nutritionist, and using hypnosis for weight loss 04:13 - Hypnosis' weight loss approach on internal changes and self-empowerment versus rigid diet and exercise regimen 08:13 - A client testimonial of emotional resilience of making healthier choices without guilt or shame. 12:40 What makes you successful in the Hypnosis program 19:27 - How emotional mastery helps you stay consistent in your journey 22:38 - Important insight on why some clients don't feel that Hypnosis is working 25:59 - What growth means with Hypnosis for permanent weight loss 28:27 - Take action and take risk 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 247 How to Manage Stress About Your Weight Over the Holiday

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.
