Losing weight can be a frustrating and discouraging journey. We all want to see results and see them quickly. However, the truth is that weight loss is a process that takes time, effort, and patience. It's important to trust the process and stay committed to your goals, even when progress seems slow.One of the keys to successfully losing weight is getting the right support. Whether it's from a coach, personal trainer, a nutritionist, or a supportive friend, having someone to encourage and guide you can make a huge difference. They can offer advice, hold you accountable, and celebrate your successes with you. Another helpful tool for weight loss is hypnosis. Hypnosis can help you clear your neural pathways of diet mentality and rewire a new belief system of empowered choices. By addressing the root causes of overeating or negative self-talk, hypnosis can help you make lasting changes in your habits and mindset. It's also important to remember that weight loss is not just about the number on the scale. It's about feeling healthy, happy, and confident in your body. By focusing on the positive changes you're making, you're more likely to stay motivated and see long-term results. In this episode we will hear Leslie share her own weight loss journey and how she overcame negative self-talk and mastered herself emotionally so as to achieve freedom and peace long-term. “The metaphor that I gave for this is the same thing as how everyone says that, if someone's really fixated on having a significant other or boyfriend or a soulmate.
