Ep 273 Client Loses 9.5 Pounds in 8 Week...

Leslie M. Thornton
About this episode

Many don't realize it, but a lot of people feel trapped in an exhausting cycle of dieting, overeating, and frustration. Despite countless weight-loss programs, restrictive diets, and even medical interventions, achieving long-term success often feels out of reach. This leaves individuals not just struggling with their weight but also battling self-doubt, shame, and a sense of hopelessness.

The problem runs deeper than just food and weight; it’s tied to unresolved emotions, societal pressures, and even family dynamics that keep individuals stuck. Temporary fixes, like pills or fad diets, may provide short-term results, but they fail to address the underlying causes of these struggles. Without the tools to heal these deeper issues, many find themselves back where they started, feeling even more disheartened.

This is where Leslie Thornton’s Hypnosis for Permanent Weight Loss offers a fresh perspective and actionable solutions. Through her proven approach, clients like the woman who lost 9.5 pounds in just eight weeks discover that true transformation begins by addressing emotions, developing self-awareness, and mastering food neutrality. Leslie’s methods go beyond numbers on a scale—they help individuals reclaim their confidence, embrace their authentic selves, and find lasting freedom from the weight-loss struggle.

"With all of my clients, I say, the weight loss is a side effect. It's a positive and happy side effect that we all want to actually pull the thread and heal the stuff underneath the surface." - Leslie Thornton
