Do you have tendencies to look after others' needs before your own? Do you behave a certain way so people don't get upset and always get what they want from you? You attend to everyone's troubles, but you have a hard time making sense of your own. That could be a sign you are a people pleaser, and chances are, you are stress-eating because that's how they relate with each other. That when it happens, your only way out and source of consolation is food. That often happens when you are not aware of where that stress is coming from. What easier way to deal with it than stuffing yourself with food. But, more than just thinking of food as the solution, there must be something else to help you ease the stress away. Feeling through those feelings is the best way out. But it's always hard the first few times you do it. And it requires self-mastery. Hypnosis helps you with these emotional mastery tools providing and allowing you lots of ways to deal with it and not just a tunnel vision mindset that only includes food. Get out of your fear now and take action! "Sometimes taking great care of yourself is eating food for comfort. Sometimes there's nothing like that, but now it's just like that's one option out of many in the Hypnosis for Permanent Weight Loss." - Leslie Thornton What you will learn from this episode: 00:01 - What makes you a people pleaser? 03:02 - Still pleasing people but not becoming a doormat 03:56 - How stress eating relates to people pleasing 05:07 - What happens when what you're doing is just a band-aid for what is actually happening inside 06:03 - Handling your stress better than just eating [awareness of where stress is coming from] 07:30 - Learning how to create a joy wheel of ways to deal with stress and not just eating Valuable Resources:  Register for our LIVE FREE Monthly “Themed” Healthy Hypnosis Hour!

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.
