I know it’s not easy at all. I have been there. That endless control you subject yourself to is just making you fall off track over and over again. You will never have that feeling of safety around food when your mind is filled with those obsessive thoughts 24/7. Never say that it is your last cookie, before you know it, your last count has reached 100. Things are perfect when it’s perfect, but how about when expectations are not met? That’s when stress sets in. And you feel you’re messing up again. And you are all back to controlling again, and still, nothing would work. Life continues, making you believe it’s all your fault when the truth isn’t. There’s a direct correlation between control freaks and bingeing and purging. What emotions that have been locked up there inside the body will find a way to let it out to make you feel good temporarily And it works but not for long. You’ve got to face your fears of thinking about people not liking you or relationships ending, people abandoning you, and many more that scares you. You have to heal first those fears, then your body and mind will start to trust again. And that takes time and commitment to do that but then what it can do for you is life-changing. That’s what hypnosis does -- getting you armed with tools to quiet down whatever false beliefs we believe ourselves. If you’re ready to take action, you can take the journey with me and achieve peace, happiness, and freedom that you evaded for so long. “Knowing it all [food] made no difference because I was not tackling what was happening in between my ears. And that's where the hypnosis comes in.”  - Leslie Thornton What you will learn from this episode: Announcement of Leslie’s exciting news HPWL giving back time Trying to be perfect on the diet and still failing Impossible to not be overwhelmed by the food obsession before having healed out of diet mentality Behaviors being so out of control Direct correlation of control freaks and bingeing and purging Facing your fears What happens when your body heals and starts to trust The metaphor of the forbidden fruit How reverse psychology works for yourself The journey is a commitment not an overnight affair Achieving your reality of peace, happiness, and freedom Hypnosis makes the difference Connect With Leslie Thornton: WeightLossAlbany.com E: Leslie@LeslieMThornton.com Facebook Twitter LinkedIn
