When you think about it, food is not the enemy. It’s our perception about it that makes it so. In order to avoid getting involved in something that requires our attention, we distract ourselves with food. How long will you wait for something tragic to happen to your loved ones or even to yourself before you look inside and take action? We need to stop looking at food as the root of some deeper problems, because the answer lies somewhere down inside. It's not just about weight issues; think about getting healthy and living life to the fullest with friends and family.  Hypnosis doesn't just help you lose weight, but it enables you to gain insight into parts of yourself that have been shaped by your past experiences, and may be preventing you from moving forward. You get to master your emotions and use tools to know exactly what you want rather than just covering it up with food obsession. Then you will be able to overcome it and turn things around. In this episode, our guest shares how she realized the importance of taking care of herself and her health so she could be there to support her family and loved ones. As someone curious about Hypnosis, not just to overcome weight issues but also to gain more in life, she decided to try it out.  As a result, it was a journey worth her time, money, and emotional commitment since it taught her to do things with intention without sacrificing fun and enjoyment.  And with the peace of mind and freedom she gained, it was all worth investing in.   "I never expected it to be as life-changing as it was. And so I could only wish this for anyone that's out there. And if you're thinking about it, I know it is a commitment. There's a time commitment. There's a financial commitment. There's an emotional commitment. But who better to invest in than yourself?"   What you will learn from this episode: 00:42 - What led her to decide to join the Hypnosis program 02:04 - Hypnosis is more than just weight loss  04:05 - The experience that brought about a life-changing realization 10:19 - Her milestones since joining the Hypnosis program 16:07 - Getting intentional about the things you do but still enjoying it 17:45 - Overcoming diet mentality 22:32 - Encouraging words we can all find comfort in   Connect With Leslie Thornton: weightlossalbany.com E: Leslie@LeslieMThornton.com Facebook Twitter LinkedIn
