How to Begin your 2013 Weight Loss Success Story…

Hi there and Happy New Year!

This is going to be your best year ever in the area of weight release and mastery!  In fact it is going to be an absolute break through year!  Why?  Because you are going to leave behind the Struggle Story of the past and embrace your Success Story and Shift Weight Mastery is here to help you do it!

Beginning this month and each month after we are going to be focusing on a specific topic of weight mastery. 

January’s Weight Mastery Topic: Create Your Weight Release Success Story

What is weight mastery success anyway?  Is it standing on the scale at your ideal weight?  Well, that is success but if you have ever dieted you may have seen your idea weight before.  True weight mastery success though is standing on the scale at your ideal weight and knowing you will never gain it back again and all the freedom and “peace” of mind that comes with it.  How do we get to that place?  It requires 3 specific “Shifts” .

1)      A Shift in Attitude

2)      A Shift in Willingness

3)      A Shift in Consistency

This week I am going to look at a Shift in Attitude.

I “Took Over” the Mind of a Thin Person

I want to share with you a really amazing Shift that happened for me while I was still struggling with my weight.  In a way, this experiment I made was the real start of my SHIFT to letting go of 40lbs and my freedom from the TYRANNY of Fat Thinking.

What did I do?  I took over the mind of my best friend.

You see, my best friend, Susan, had always been thin.  For years I watched her be one of those people who wanted to exercise, pushed the plate away with ease, and would indulge in good food but in moderate portions. 

As much as I loved Susan, I was envious of the ease with which she walked the world in a thin, toned body and was free from the concerns of those of us less fortunate.  Those of us who were WEIGHT STRUGGLERS, who thought about what they were going to eat, what they ate and what they should and shouldn’t eat all of the time.  Those of us weighted down with worrying about how we looked, what we weighed, how we felt, how hard it was…all the time.  Those of us with not only FAT THINKING but a FAT ATTITUDE  to match.

So one day I said, “To hell with it!  I am tired of living in my head, where things are so boring and predictable and sadly the same all the time.  I am going to live in Susan’s head.  For one day I am going to pretend to be her and wake up with her thoughts and see how things go”.

I had gotten this idea from playing tennis.  I was a bad tennis player but a friend who was coaching me said,” just serve as if you were Chris Everett instead of Rita-the-person-who-can’t-serve and see what happens.”  And guess what, the moment I pretended to be Chris Everett I stepped up and served a fabulous, well crafted serve of a pro!  Woo hoo!!!

THIN FOR A DAY

So here I was now waking up in the morning as a naturally thin person, with an effortlessly thin attitude. The day started off completely differently.  Instead of waking up and talking myself out of going to exercise, my thin attitude said, “good I get to go move my body before I start my day—let’s go!”. 

When thoughts of food came up I would dismiss them, “I am a thin person, I think about what I am going to eat when I get hungry and at no other time”.  So when it came time to eat I thought about what would be good for me and I ate as much as I needed and when I had had enough I pushed the plate away, just as Susan had for so many years when we ate together.  I got up from the table feeling light and taken care of.  Wow, I thought this was revolutionary.

True, there were many times of the day when my FAT THINKING reared its head.   Thoughts like,

-This is hard

-I hate exercise

-I want a snack lets go to the kitchen

-I’m stressed, let’s eat

But now these thoughts were more clearly just the old tired thoughts of fat thinking and not REALITY!

Taking over the mind of a thin person really helped me see how I needed to change my attitude and stop believing I was a failure—which I kept creating as my reality, and instead adopt an attitude of SUCCESS—releasing weight and being an effortlessly thin person is easy.  This started me on my way to success and now it’s your TURN!

How about you—how can you let go of the old FAT THINKING and adopt a successfully thin ATTITUDE  for 2013??

HERE’S SOME COACHING:

Pick an effortlessly thin person in your life and pretend that you are them for the day.  See the difference in your new thinking from your fat thinking—how will those thoughts have to change for you to be successful in the long run?

Start with attitude and everything follows.

Have a successful, healthy and SHIFTED 2013.

Happy New Year!!!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Wise men or not the average weight gain over the holidays is 5-7 pounds!  One year long before I Shifted I gained 25 during the season!  Don’t feel bad, my kids and I calculated that if Santa ate just ½ a cookie per home and we allowed for the calories he burned getting out of the sleigh and hoisting himself and a few presents  down the chimney—he would still gain over 400lbs!  So this year he gets only carrots at our home and a Sugar Mastery Hypnosis session—sorry Santa but let’s stop the insanity, eh?

I know you have a million things to do today and so I have just included a short 6 minute Christmas video with 4 cognitive tips to help you stay in the weight maintain or weight release zone this holiday week.

LET’S LOOK AT YOUR BEHIND!

As we close in on the end of 2012 it's a great time to think about your weight and health goals for 2013. However, before you start to focus on looking ahead, I'd like to encourage you to take a few minutes to look back. Yes, that’s right look at your “behind”-- those 12 months that were known as 2012.   How was your “behind” looking this year? 

THE LITTLE “BEHIND”

I invite you first to focus on what you accomplished with your “behind”—even if you feel like you didn’t accomplish anything.  If you think your behind was a big, fat nothing-- you are cheating yourself and your “behind”—honor your “behind” no matter how great or small you feel your accomplishments were!!  This way you learn, this way you move forward by learning from your behind and not denying it.

When I struggled with my weight I was always looking at my real behind in the mirror and cringing—why can’t this go away?  What I should have been doing, and never did until I made my own SHIFT, was really look behind me at the actions and behaviors that moved me towards my goals as well as the habits and thinking that keep me staring at my big behind!!

I challenge you right now to think about what you accomplished in 2012 and decide how you are going to celebrate what you have achieved!!  That’s right celebrate even the small wins, because all of the small wins strung together equal a victorious behind. 

As you think about 2012 it's also important to think about the things you wanted to accomplish that just didn't seem to happen. What is most important to know is why these goals didn't get accomplished. What you may discover is that it might not have been the right time for that goal or maybe fear got in your way OR maybe you didn't have the accountability that you really needed to ensure you stayed focused and on track.

What I have found is that while the basics of weight management are fairly straightforward, the challenge is really learning to keep yourself inspired and motivated to move forward doing these “basics”.   Most people lack the proper accountability and support that they need to follow through to success.

Long term permanent success is just that, long term.  We need the mindset to keep ourselves going strong.   It can be really difficult to stay focused with so many distractions these days. We all know how to diet and lose weight but what Shift is about is long term weight management—not a short-term diet.  What I have noticed is that most people find it difficult to know what actions to take to get you to where you want to go for the long term.

That is why I created the Shift Monthly Mastery Membership Program—check out you can get started on a break-though 2013 here:
http://www.shiftweightmastery.com/monthlymembership.html

YOUR BIG “BEHIND”
At some day out there in the future when you are looking back at your “BIG BEHIND”, that’s right all of your life’s accomplishments…do you want to look back and see that all of your actions led you to being happy and healthy, slim and trim, living the life of your dreams?  Or do you want to look back and see a lot of “hopes” and “try’s” and plenty of “I didn’t have the time” and a bushel of “it’s too hard” that led to your living a life that never really got you where you knew you had the potential to go because you never really got started or kept at it?

Am I being a bit tough?  Hell yeah!  I want you to take 2013 to the next level—getting to your ideal weight, confidently staying there, and really living the life of your dreams!  If you are already there—I applaud you.  If you are on your way—great!!

That is why as you look at your behind and think about what you want to accomplish in 2013 that you consider joining the new Shift Monthly Mastery membership program.  I have created this program to give you the ongoing support, motivation and education and cognitive support (hypnosis) that you need to achieve your weight goals and, more importantly stay there.

Whether you will decide to enroll in the Monthly Mastery membership or not I have made a coaching video that will give you the 4 keys you will need to have to achieve your weight goals this coming year.  Check it out!
http://www.shiftweightmastery.com/monthlymembership.html

So here’s to your behind!  Celebrate it, learn from it, and let it guide your vision for what you want to create for the healthy, slim and trim year ahead!!  Happy Holidays!

Shift Weekly: Think this…not that!!

What is going to get you through the holiday season in a successful slim and trim way?  Your thoughts of course! 

As Shifters we know how powerful our mind is and that all thoughts precede action so successful actions (ie. making healthy choices) spring from thoughts of success.

The holiday season poses challenges though and because of stress and added external stimulus we tend to fall back into old thinking patterns or FAT THINKING—the kind of thinking that causes us to gain weight over the holidays.

Holiday Fat Thinking

Here are some examples of old familiar FAT THINKING favorites.

-It’s too hard to be healthy in the holiday season! 

-I can’t resist all the holiday temptations!

-Everyone else is stuffing themselves…why can’t I?

-I’m too busy to exercise--these presents need wrapping!

-I just polish off this box of See’s so there won’t be any left to tempt me.

-There is so much food in the house!

-There is so much food in the office!

-There is so much food at these holiday parties!

-I’ll just wait until the New Year!

-Did someone say Egg Nog shooters? Yipeeeeeeee!

AND THE DEEPEST FAT THOUGHT OF THEM ALL IS…

Often though the deepest fat thought is one that we may not even be conscious of but is the one that causes us to always be in a “struggle”.  And that fat thought is….drum roll please…

I am a person who struggles with my weight and food and exercise AND I AM TRYING not to be a person who struggles with my weight and food and exercise especially during the holidays!

The problem that we have when we “try” to lose weight is that in our minds we are a fat person trying not to eat and forcing ourselves to exercise.  Thinking this always puts us in a place of struggling against ourselves, and when we do that, we never win.

MY COACHING: Shift out of seeing yourself as a person who struggles with their weight and is trying not to struggle…and replace that with:

I am a person who is SHIFTING and am on a powerful journey of weight release especially through the holidays!

Hi Shifters,

Happy Cyber Monday!!! Did Thanksgiving tucker you out?  I’m bushed!  Now my head is spinning with the idea of venturing out to holiday shop.

If you skipped the shopping crowds at the mall this last weekend and are looking for healthy holiday gifts for loved ones (even yourself) here are some “healthy” favorites from me and other members of the Shift Community that you can find online.

1.     Polar Heart Rate Monitor Watches—(Mickey’s Favorite) these handy watches will monitor your heart rate, time your work outs, and show how many calories you burned during your work outs.  Costs average 80-250 dollars depending on style etc.  Available at Amazon and other online retailers.

 

2.     Fit Bit—(Julie’s Favorite) This teeny little device is something you can wear like a pedometer and it measures everything: steps, sleep, calories burned during exercise and rest, etc. downloads to your computer and you can log on to see all of your data day by day.  I could see this becoming an addiction.  Cost—around 100 dollars. http://www.fitbit.com/


 3.     The Healthy Eating and Weight Management Book and Workbook by Dorene Robinson (Rita's favorite)This book is a favorite of trainers, dieticians and health clubs.  It is the best book out there as far as I am concerned as to how to put together a healthy approach to weight release.  Dorene has a great writing style and uses a lot of similar principles as I do. A very great information packed read with a workbook to put it all together.

http://www.amazon.com/Healthy-Eating-Weight-Management-Workbook/dp/0976300427/ref=la_B002F1AVOC_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1353898045&sr=1-1

 

4.     The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg  If you want to know why you do what you do and why it’s hard not to do it—then this is a book for you!  One of my favorite reads this year. 

 http://www.amazon.com/The-Power-Habit-What-Business/dp/1400069289/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1353898536&sr=8-1&keywords=the+power+of+habit

 

5.     Hungry Girls’ Supermarket Survival Guide  This handy little book that fits into a purse or bag is a great gift for those friends who have a hard time navigating the grocery store in a healthy way.  A fabulous stocking stuffer.

Shift Weekly: The Holiday Spell--DON'T Sucuum!

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am so grateful for your participation in the Shift Community!  Over the years that I have been a clinical hypnotherapist, helping people SHIFT out of Fat Thinking into Thin Thinking, I have had the honor to work with such amazing, intelligent, insightful, warm and open people—thank you for allowing me to serve you.

Now on to Thanksgiving Mind Strategies!!  Thanksgiving for many is not actually the hardest day to remain true to your Shift for many.  Here is a 7 minute coaching session on TG that I made a few years back (if you need some good pointers and inspiration) –it follows me over a whole Thanksgiving Day where my challenge was to consume 1550 calories or below—we called it Thanksgiving 15-50! Check it out here:

Weight Mastery Thanksgiving Coaching Video

GAK FRIDAY and “It’s the HOLIDAYS!” THINKING

Now let’s talk about the real holiday challenge.  Not Thanksgiving Day but the day AFTER Thanksgiving, what some call Black Friday—I call GAK FRIDAY! (for those of you unfamiliar with the term Gak it means the super refined food that contain waaaaay more sugar, salt, and fats than natural foods).

Gak Friday is a challenge for many because we now have all of that TGT food hanging around.  On top of that we begin holiday shopping and giving.  There is food everywhere!  AND on top of THAT this very strange and mysterious thing happens on the midnight of Thanksgiving.  The internal holiday bell chimes and all of our minds gets sucked into this weird VORTEX called “why not…it’s the holidays!”

Yes, all of a sudden this mental phenomina called “it’s the holidays” descends upon us en masse and we find ourselves in a much more vulnerable and open state to eating more calories, exercising less and believing we have no choice but to surrender as a victim to this overwhelming force while it is surging and then wait again until January 1^st when the bell chimes again and the spell of “it’s the Holiday’s” recedes as quickly as it began and we are left in the wake of the aftermath of devastation and destruction, weight gain, struggle, and disappointment of “how did I let it all go?”.

So I am here to tell you now---DO NOT LET IT ALL GO.

Prepare for the “It’s the Holidays” surge like you would prepare for a Level  5 hurricane.

-Plan ahead for success: have a vision of what you will look like on January 1^st because you have kept releasing weight through the holidays—make it a fun and enticing image.

-Think through what you will and won’t allow in your house this season.  80 percent of success is based on stimulus control.  If it’s going to be a problem (and you know if it’s going to be a problem) don’t let it in your house—or OFFICE.  There is a place called a FOOD BANK and they will happily receive your food gift items.

-Know what your calorie budget is for release and MAINTENANCE.  That’s right—if you know what you can consume and not gain weight but just maintain at least you will be that much further ahead come January first.  Those of you who have gone through the Shift Weight Mastery Process—your maintenance number is in your Shift Book on page 23 or 24 (depending on when you Shifted).  If you have not made the Shift yet email me and I can let you know how to find this out.

-Make a plan to move—think through a way to walk every day for 10 minutes at least.  Walking is something you can do anytime, anywhere.  If you walk 10-20 minutes a day you will be setting yourself up to burn away the little “extras” over the holidays.

-Listen TO YOUR SHIFT CDS!!!  They will keep your mind focused.

-Have some fun but lower calorie treats on hand so you don’t feel deprived.  Here is a link to Hungry Girls 2012 holiday list—check it out!

http://www.hungry-girl.com/biteout/show/2466

Okay that’s a starting point—more to come as we head through the holidays.  I believe in you and know you want more than anything to stay present and healthy through the season.  So take this time out and prepare to be successful now.  Give yourself the present of being present!!

Take a Shift Breath and here’s to YOUR Successful, “Shifted” Holiday Season 2012!!

Shift Weekly: NO!

Happy Veterans Day BTW!

This week I want to focus on the POWER OF NO. No?  Yes, NO!

The mind can’t really separate fantasy from reality.  Ever find yourself watching a James Bond film where James is being chased by the bad guy and realize that your heart is beating faster, your breathing is elevated, and your stomach is tensed up just as if you were being chased right alongside 007?  Have you ever watched someone watching an intense sporting on TV stand up and begin yelling at the players on the screen as if they believed the players could really hear them?  We can use the power of self hypnosis to tap into this phenomenon and SHIFT out of Fat Thinking into Thin Thinking.

I am going to give you a subtle but easy and effective cognitive technique that you can use in a relaxed (self-hypnotic) state to help change your relationship to a particular trigger food (usually sweets or starches) that you have a vulnerability to over eat or binge on.  I have used this with some of my trigger foods (frosting, Wine Gums, and candy corn) in the past and it works well.  You will want to practice this exercise a number of times for it to have a real impact.

-Find a place to get comfortable and close your eyes.

-Now imagine your trigger food in front of you.

-Now practice saying “No” to that trigger food in many different ways and times.

(IMPORTANT:  Not “No” as in, “You can’t have it.”  I mean “No” as in “I choose not to have it.”  Making this distinction between –you can’t have and I choose NOT to have is huge.  The former engages the Inner Critic and the latter engages the Inner Coach.)

-Practice saying “no” to your trigger food politely—Pause and take a deep breath between each time you imagine yourself saying “no” to your trigger food.

Thank you, but no.

 No thanks. 

No.

No.

No.

-Now imagine saying no to the trigger food firmly the same way.

No!

I said no! 

No!

No!

No!

Repeat this polite no and firm no with the trigger food in the circumstances that you might encounter it; at the grocery store, at a vending machine, in a restaurant, in your cupboard (hey, what’s it doing there?), at a drive through etc.

-Now imagine someone else is eating your trigger food and telling you how delicious it is and offering it to you.

-Imagine many different ways of saying no politely and then firmly to them.

You can even yell at them if you wish( in your imagination that is!).
Now, still in the relaxed position run this exercise again but now add your voice.  Practice really saying no politely at first and working your way up to a resounding firm “No!”.  Make sure you take a breath in between each “NO!” and align yourself with that feeling that you are saying “No” because you choose to and not because you have to. You can do this part while you are driving in the car—just say no!!

Great job!  I bet you can feel a shifted relationship to that food already, no?

Join us this coming Saturday online (details below—just click on the link) to learn how to use self-hypnosis to help stay focused on healthy eating this holiday season.  Details below!

Have a great week practicing the POWER OF NO!

Shift Weekly: Who are You Voting For??

Campaign Special

ENTER THE WORD ‘VOTE’ TO RECEIVE 50 PERCENT OFF AT CHECK OUT

http://www.shiftweightmastery.com/ShopTheShift-CoachingHypnosisCDs.html

Dear Shifters,

In honor of Tuesday’s election I wanted to discuss the two very different inner platforms that we have to choose from to run our relationship with our health, weight, and ultimately, ourselves.  Which candidate of which platform are you voting for?  Which candidate are you listening to—who is going to be your leader?  The choice you make will lead you on two very different paths.

Platform 1—Fat Thinking

Here at the Fat Thinking campaign headquarters we have the 2 candidates—

The Inner Critic and the Inner Rebel
These 2 candidates work together seamlessly to

-Create a chaotic mindset that takes your power away from you—

-Keeps you struggling in that good or bad, on or off, all or nothing kind of thinking.

The Inner Critic believes inherently you are broken and need to be fixed and also that you need to be restricted and must on eat what is on the diet or else you are a failure.

The Inner Rebel will push hard for starting again on Monday because what the hay…”you already blew it—so you may as well eat them all…”The Inner Rebel believes that everyone else is eating gak—so you should too.The Inner Rebel will also let you off the hook—you have had a bad day so eat!  We’ll be good on Monday—it’s the American way.

The calorie budget of the Fat Thinking platform is dodgy to say the least—there doesn’t seem to be any clear documentation of how the Fat Thinking Party will balance your budget or ever reach weight mastery.

But they have a lot of familiar sounding beliefs and slogans and so often we get hoodwinked into voting for Fat Thinking.  We end up feeling frustrated, demoralized and bloated. So this time around why not vote for Thin Thinking and the Inner Coach?

Platform 2 Thin Thinking

Here at Thin Thinking platform headquarters things are looking powerful

-There is only one candidate with one clear message—Show Up for Yourself

-That’s right your Inner Coach knows that you can achieve weight mastery.

Your Inner Coach has a very specific action plan to create a calorie budget that will take you to the vision you have for your health.

The Inner Coach is ready to solve the problems and create new solutions and doesn’t  believe in magic pills or diets.   Your Inner Coach believes in you.  That you can achieve your ideal weight and stay there because you have made the Shift from the inside out.

How to Change Platforms

 If you are stuck in the Fat Thinking Camp never fear—you can always change parties.

1)    Start to turn in and get conscious to the rhetoric of the Fat Thinking Party. When you really tune in you can begin to hear how false that kind of emotionally run reasoning sounds.  You can separate yourself out form the BS and begin to Shift.

2)    You can begin to get very clear on what it is you do want versus what you don’t want.  The more you focus on a clear and definable outcome—the more your Inner Coach can begin to take clear and actionable steps.

3)    You can begin getting your facts and budget straight with precise data and logical thinking.  You can begin to solve the problems and seek new workable strategies now that the day dreams of waking up and being perfect have been cleared away.

4)    You can begin feeling more powerful and confident every day that you show up for yourself and make healthy decisions in line with what your desired outcome is.

5)    You can Shift your way to the voting booth and place your vote for your favorite candidate—your Inner Coach!

Good luck at the Inner Voting Booth—I know you will make the shifted choice!
