This Summer’s Hottest Release…“Weight!”

Hi Shifters

Happy Memorial Day!  I hope that you are going to remember to show up for yourself today and have fun but make healthy food choices that allow you to want to remember Memorial Day and not forget it!
Often I hear people say that they are glad that the summer is coming because it is easier to “release” weight.  (Remember we say “release” at Shift because “losing” weight implies to our unconscious that we want to find it again!)

Here are some of the reasons that they feel that summer makes it easier to get thinner.
-Lighter foods like fresh fruits abound

-Their schedule is not so full and structured—more time to relax
-Vacations allow opportunities to exercise more and eat more lightly

Ironically, as the summer progresses often times those same people begin to question why they thought summer was going to be easier!   The very reason they thought summer was going to be good weight release season have them feeling quite the opposite!!
Here are some of the reasons why they find the summer challenging.

-Fresh fruits abound and are delicious and therefore are easy to overeat—as is all of the food at the BBQs, picnics and on road trips!!

-Their schedule is not so full and structured—more time to relax and eat in between meals, to graze and to boredom eat!

-Vacations allow opportunities to exercise our right to “go off our plan” , to “get it all in before the vacation ends” and to “eat the special local fudge because we are not ever going to get this special local fudge back home”.
What starts out as a summer full of good intentions quickly returns to a summer of FAT THINKING.  The all or nothing, good or bad, on or off sort of thinking that keeps us in the weight struggle.  These people can’t wait for the structure of autumn again when it will be easier to release weight!!!!

I know from my own personal experience when I had come home from college at a pretty low weight and expected to release more that summer but wound up gaining almost 40 lbs!!! Yikes!
Luckily you can make the Shift and release 12-24 lbs this summer (in 3mos) and do so in a way that allows you not to gain them back in the autumn.  You can make the SHIFT out of the FAT THINKING and remove the barriers and beliefs that have you feeling stuck and SHIFT into powerful THIN THINKING. This SUMMER SHIFT is the focus of two opportunities that I am offering today.

1)    OPPORTUNITY #1 SUMMER SHIFT PROCESS STARTING JUNE 13TH

Please read on to find out about this special Summer Shift Process that begins June 13, 2012


Harnessing the Subconscious for Permanent Weight Release
“I am so grateful to have the monkey off my back and feel so at peace not to be crazy about what I would be eating for lunch etc. I've love all the CDs and am so, so happy to be over dieting. Oh yeah, and the other side note that used to be the end all be all—I released weight!” Kathryn Wayman (down 60 lbs in total one year after her Shift-in-a-Box Weight Mastery Process)

Hi there potential Summer Shifter!         

- Have you been sruggling with your weight way too long?
- Are you baffled why for years you have known what to do to get to your ideal weight (eat less, exercise more, better food choices) but haven't been able to do it, despite your best efforts?
- Are you tired of flip flopping between being super good on your plan one day and falling off the wagon the next?
If you have been struggling, the good news is this:

To lose weight and keep it off, you don't need more willpower. You just need more brain power.
READ ON.
As a clinical hypnotherapist and weight management expert I have worked with people for over a decade, helping them realize their weight goals. I know that what is needed to be successful is not willpower—that is only 12% of your mind’s ability—you need to harness your brainpower.  Once you have 100% of your mind working for you—there is no goal that you cannot achieve.  I have developed the Shift Weight Mastery Process to harness your mind, using the proven skill set and mind set of people who have taken weight off and kept it off for good, so that you canfinally experience the thrill of long term success for yourself.

I MADE MY OWN 'SHIFT' 18 YEARS AGO.
Why is your success and Shift so important to me?  I struggled with my own weight for over 20 years and it wasn’t until I made my own Shift, and realized after years of yo-yo-dieting that the key element to my success didn’t lie within all those diets I had failed at—the key element that was missing from all those lame attempts at losing weight –was me!  Once I realized that I held the only key to my success I was able to make my own Shift and release the weight and have kept it off for 18 years.
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN.
I just want you to know that wherever you are today with your current with your weight—that I believe that beyond a shadow of a doubt that you can overcome the old mindset and behaviors that have kept you struggling and feeling like a failure.  You are not a failure—you are actually your own best weight loss coach and there is no one that is going to be sitting in your skin 24/7 except you.
Therefore, to live life at your ideal weight is not a matter of finding the right diet, pill or program—the answer you have been looking for is you! 
The 30 Day Shift-in-a-Box Weight Mastery Process allows you a new way of communicating with yourself around food, exercise, your body and yourself that is powerful and productive.  You can release the weight and keep it off—the coaching, hypnosis and cognitive techniques in this process will help you need to remove the limiting beliefs and behaviors, addictions and habits that are in your way.

PLEASE READ THIS SPECIAL OFFER I AM MAKING TO YOU FOR
THE SUMMER 2012 SHIFT.

I can't wait to start Shifting with you and helping you realize your dream of long term permanent weight release.  I believe in The Shift-in-a-Box so much that I am guaranteeing that if you are not satisfied with it that you can return it after 30 days for a full refund.  Please read on—I hope you make the decision to join us on this Summer Adventure!!

Donna W. of Long Beach CA (down 10 lbs by day 30/ down 28 lbs in 100 days)
 "I have lost and found 100s of pounds over the last 40 years and nothing has made as much sense to me as this simple process.  I'll be 60 soon, walking daily and exercising 3 days a week—I feel better than 45!  Thanks Rita for your motivational notes and inspiration and this wonderful Shift-in-a-Box Process!"

Shift TV— watch the video below to see more about Shift and its profound impact. Now this effective 30 day hypnotic weight loss process is available in Shift-in-a-Box!!!
Why it's time to stop dieting and start Shifting-in-the Box
Diets don't work because they are external structures that we "go on" and "fall off" but no change happens internally in the way we think and therefore go back to our old habits once the diet is over.
From the moment you begin your Shift-in-a-Box Weight Mastery Process you begin making permanent changes from within—in the way you think and this ultimately changes the way you behave—so that once you reach your ideal weight you can stay there permanently.

Terilynn R. down 13lbs in 30 days
 "In the past I would agonize over how I was going to keep the weight off because I knew deep down I could never stick to whatever diet/eating fad I was following at the time. This time, that panic voice is gone  It gives me such a sense of peace.  The fact that I can eat what I want and don't have that sense of "I blew it" is such a relief.  I am being kinder to myself than I have ever been."
The Shift-in-a-Box Process's EDGE
Diets only engage the conscious mind, the willpower part of the brain—about 12% of your brain's power.  That's why dieters, even though they may succeed in the short term sometimes, usually gain the weight back.
The Shift-in-a Box leverages the power of the subconscious mind using a synergistic combination of hypnosis, cognitive coaching and immersion coaching in the 9 skills of weight mastery, as well as daily inspiration and community support so that you can use 100% of your brain to make powerful and long term changes, release the weight and keep it off for good.
How will hypnosis help me release weight?
Our minds work on two levels: the conscious and the unconscious.  We make decisions and act with our conscious mind.  The unconscious controls our habits and behaviors.  In the state of hypnosis we can communicate directly with the unconscious and break up old, negative patterns and replace them with more positive habits and behaviors.  The hypnosis sessions in the Shift-in-a-Box were designed to work synergistically with the Shift-in-a-Box Immersion Coaching™ sessions to deliver an overall deep-level SHIFT in your relationship to food and exercise, your body, and yourself so that in 30 days you can take back your power from the thoughts, habits and behaviors that have kept you struggling and release weight powerfully, effectively, and permanently.
The 5 Keys Components to the Shift-in-a-Box Weight Mastery Process Success
1. Hypnosis: Recent clinical studies have shown that hypnosis increases the amount of weight that you can lose by 146%.   The Hypnosis sessions in the Shift in a Box allow your subconscious mind to become more open to ideas of change and to focus on healthier behaviors and habits.
2. Cognitive Coaching: This cognitive technique is included throughout the Coaching CDs.  It helps break up old limiting beliefs and behavioral patterns and allows new more healthy weight loss oriented behaviors to be inserted in their place.
3. Immersion Coaching: There are repeatable best practices that people who have taken weight off and kept it off for good use every day.  The coaching sessions included in the Shift in a Box will immerse your brain in this proven skill-set of weight loss and maintenance.
4. Daily Inspiration and Motivation: It takes 21 days for new habits to become permanent in the brain.  You receive daily motivational coaching emails from Shift founder Rita Black, that will keep you focused and moving towards your goals during this time where powerful changes will be taking place in your mind.
5. Community Support : Alone we diet—together we Shift!!  Studies show that when you lose weight with a group your chances of keep that weight off nearly double!!  In addition to the great food and exercise tracker there is a community full of support available on the Shift Community.  Over your 30 day process and beyond you can access this wonderful resource which hosts the tools for you to release weight and then maintain it over time as well as find friends, groups and forums to find other Shifters and share your experiences. 
SHIFT RADIO SHOWS:
How does the Shift-in-a-Box Weight Mastery Process work???
Pre-Shift Experience
Once you order your Shift-in-a- Box you will immediately begin receiving the 5 Day PRE-SHIFT Video Coaching Series by email (unless you are doing a group process then this Pre-Shift will start on the Group's official Shift start date- JUNE 13, 2012). The Pre-Shift Series are daily video sessions over 5 days (average running time 20 minutes) that will empower you to set up your mind and environment for success and teach you how to begin losing weight—even before your Shift-in a Box arrives! 
The Shift-in-a-Box Process
The process, beginning with your Shift Day 1, is designed in such a way that by listening to the hypnosis and coaching sessions in tandem on a daily basis, bit by bit, over the 30 day and by using the works books the process engages your brain in making the SHIFT from Fat thinking to Thin Thinking.  You begin changing your relationship to food and exercise immediately as you begin to release weight.  This process continues even after the daily assignments end when you graduate on day 30.
The Shift Community Website and Calorie Tracker
Each day of your Shift-in-a-Box Process you can get support from the powerful calorie tracking tool in the Shift Community and find resources and tools for support and continuing your weight loss.  You can make friends, join groups, interact in the forums, track your food and exercise and expected weight loss and see how other people are going through their Shift process at the same time as you.
Daily Motivation and Support Sessions
Whether the coaching comes in the form of writing or video, every day of your pre-Shift and 30 day Shift Shift-in-a-Box Process you will receive coaching that supports the theme of that day in your journey and are created and delivered to you by the Shift Weight Mastery Process founder, Rita Black.
Post-Shift Experience
The Shift in a Box Coaching and Hypnosis Sessions continue to deliver the Shift experience to you past the initial 30 day initiation process for as long as you continue to use them.  This allows you to continue to Shift on down the scale at your ideal weight.  After graduation you will find that other resources and classes are available to help you continue and support you in your journey.  The Shift Community Website will always be there to support you as an ongoing powerful yet complimentary tool for you to continue to track you weight release and share in the community experience.  Remember, Alone we diet—Together we Shift!!

Read Kate's Shift in-a-Box Story: From size 16 to size 8! 
"In my head I was still a size 8 – just happened to be wearing size 16!! With each 5 lbs I gained I thought I needed to change my ways but alas I continued until I was 178 lbs, hypertensive and pre-diabetic. Then I received my Shift-in-a-Box as a gift. You need to understand that I was not going to do this program and pretty sure it would not work anyway. But I looked in the box and got intrigued. So I listened to the coaching CD1 and everything made sense. I started listening to the immersion coaching CDs on my daily commute to and from work and the hypnosisCDs at night and I was losing weight effortlessly—in fact it was fun!. I changed my list for the grocery store and started changing the meals I was making. Now I rarely have a drink and often do not even finish a glass of wine. And guess what—I don't miss it, crave it, or even want it!  I am at peace with food—good healthy food and plenty of it.

My husband is thrilled and has lost weight as well and he is doing the SHIFT (he is, but he just does not know it!) I eat anything I want and plan my daily meals each morning. I can still have dessert or the office birthday cake as I just adjust elsewhere. I exercise daily and even got back in a skin care routine. I look fabulous. I am down to 145lbs and am wearing size 10 only because I have no size 8's yet which made me realize how long ago I began the weight gain. I had gotten rid of all my 8's as I figured I would never be thin enough to wear them. I truly was my own worst enemy. I do not want to shop until I reach 140 lbs. Rita's daily emails and fantastic personal support have been incredible. Now this has not been hard work, rather it has been an adventure and a romance – I have fallen back in love with me! It is a wonderful feeling be back in control and feeling this good! Thanks Rita, you are the best!"

(Kate Khaleel of Orlando Florida "Shifted in a Box" and went from a size 16 to a size 8 within a few months!)


By the time you finish your 30 Day Shift-in-a-Box Process you will be:
Releasing weight at a rate you decide.

Communicating effectively with yourself consciously and subconsciously,  finding it easier to exercise consistently and push the plate away when you have had enough, and make healthy choices.

Creating a way of eating that allows you to continue to release weight but not feel deprived.

Breaking free from addictive eating.

Create a powerful alignment with yourself and your vision  so you can side step the more critical and rebellious parts of your old thinking

Habitually SHIFTING from Fat Thinking to Thin Thinking.

On your way to long term permanent weight release and your ideal weight.

    Keri Jenkins Spokane WA
    (released 12 lbs during her 30 day process)
    I originally decided to purchase the SHIFT program from Rita Black after having seen a comment from one of her former clients on a message board about some 'lose weight quick'  program I was (stupidly) considering. I'd purchased weight release programs from other hypnotherapists in the past and have worked one on one with hypnotherapists with mixed results. What drew me to Rita is that she is passionate helping you Shift, fully believes in the process—it is her life's work and that she actually cares about your success, not in just selling you the program.
    I loved everything about the SHIFT from the moment I received it; from the packaging to the support materials.   I really liked Rita's voice – which is pretty important if you're going to listen to her speak every day.
    I found as I went through the program that I didn't feel deprived but actually felt like I was gaining more and more control over my eating habits. As the weight came off, I knew this time was different and that I would be able to maintain my weight much more easily.
    I'd HIGHLY recommend this program to anyone who is tired of beating themselves up about losing weight or that is really serious about getting control over their weight and eating habits. It really works.
    Q: But how much time will doing the Shift-in-a-Box Process take?
    A: The Shift-in-a-Box process was designed to go with you during your life.  The coaching sessions can be listened to in your car or at home while you do other things around the house.  You can even exercise and listen to them.  The hypnosis sessions are able to fit into your day before bed, upon rising, even in the evening as you are relaxing after dinner.  The time it takes to make the Shift during each of the 30 days averages out to be about 40 minutes per day.  When you think the average person spends two hours a day wasting their life in front of the TV that seems totally manageable!
    Q: I am not sure I can afford to do it right now?
    A: When you think about your health and creating that peace of mind because you are finally addressing your weight issue in a real and long lasting way—why delay in making a decision to move forward and SHIFT?  I understand that the economy is tight right now.  I assure you the daily cost of the Shift-in-a-Box process averages out on a daily basis to be less than breakfast at Starbucks.  I once had a client concerned about my $150 dollar session fee—but she went on to tell me that she spent over $30 dollars a day in junky snack foods—from frozen yogurt to bagels and so on—it made my weekly session fee seem cheap compared to what she spent a week on sugar, fat and salt!  When you think of how much you may be spending on other things that bring no real value to your life and weigh that against feeling healthy and good about yourself—how can you even think that the cost of the Shift-in-a-Box process is anything except a bargain?  I am told how much value is in what you get out of the Shift Process that the cost seems very inexpensive.  Many clients have even told me to raise my prices—but I want you to afford this.  The Shift-in-a-Box is affordable—you find a way to pay for what is important to you.  I hope you find yourself and your health important and overcome any limiting belief about cost.  Besides—I am offering the money back guarantee so that there is no risk whatsoever!


    With the Shift Process I have found a new way to live with food. I was originally a size 14 pant and have given all those away. Currently my size 12's are getting loose and I am wearing a lot of the size 10's in my closet which feels wonderful for now. I have no heartburn, I don't obsess about food, and the private time I can spend listening to the shift CDs grounds me. I cannot say enough about the positive effects it has had so far and I cannot imagine going back to living the old way with the knowledge and control I feel that I have now. (Maryanne D. North Carolina—down 12 lbs by day 30 of her Shift-in-a-Box)

    HYPNOSIS TO EAT CHEETOS?  WHAT THE…?
    Hi Shifters,

    Have you heard it?  I was shocked when I did.  I only heard it once and wasn’t really paying attention at first but then it got me—and there I was mouth wide open, like a stunned mullet fish, did they just what I think they did?  Yes they did!  Then I laughed—“good one!  Frito Lay—that was one smart radio ad!”

    It went something like this, remember I wasn’t totally tuned in at first, but the gist is that there is this stressed out guy—and he’s saying “geez I am so stressed!”  Then this other guy, who sounds like a therapist comes in and tells him to relax. The other guy says but I am stressed-I can’t!  The therapist-like guys tells him then—in a intentionally very hypnotic voice—“sit back and relaaaaaaaaax.  Now imagine yourself sitting in a chair with a nice bag of Cheetos.  Each Cheeto you eat is relaxing you even more..you are really enjoying the Cheetos”  then he has the guy come up out of the trance—the guy is all relaxed and the therapist like guy tells him he owes him $28 dollars.  That is it.  Millions of dollars of advertizing talent poured into 30 seconds of expensive media time and we have now been hypnotized to think Cheetos relax us.

    Now the ad itself is super basic and on the surface nothing novel or brilliant—but this ad is obviously using this “funny scenario” to hypnotize the listener in a second hand way—pretty smart!  This ad perfectly demonstrates what I am always asking people who are leery of using hypnosis for weight loss.  “Why are you afraid of hypnosis?  You get hypnotized at least 20 times a day by companies like Frito Lay that spend millions of dollars in ads as hypnotic but less overt than this that are getting into your mind when you are in “environmental hypnosis” (every day states we are in trance)—in your car, in front of your computer, in front of your TV.  How often do you get trigger by an ad to get up from the TV and get a snack from the kitchen?  How often does the radio ad for chocolate make you think of heading to the in and buying a bar when you are getting gas?” 

    You see I think we need to be unhypnotized from all of the constant mental bombardment of Gakky food that takes our power away from us.  I really see myself as an unhypnotist—helping people out of the bad trance states that are keeping them struggling with their weight and themselves.
    -I will always be fat

    -What’s the use—they are all eating it?
    -I need carbs to comfort me.

    -I don’t have time to exercise.

    How many bad trances are you under right now?  What is the toll that all these bad trances are taking on you?

    Check out video #3 The 9 Skills and the Power of Hypnosis, if you haven’t already—I have picked a hypnosis download for you to try and have some great and inspiring content on the video too about hypnosis and the best practices of weight mastery.  Hey, I didn’t have millions of dollars to pour into it but I think is pretty valuable and you won’t be heading for a bag of Cheetos when you are through!

    SHIFT WEEKLY: Who ATE my cheese? Oh wait, I did!


    Dear Shifters,
    Thanks so much for all of the amazing support and feedback you have given me for the new Shift Video Training Series.  I am so glad you are getting value from it.

    SIGN UP FOR COMPLIMENTARY SHIFT VIDEO TRAINING SERIES HERE

    Did you know that more than 40% of what you think you do (and think you have a choice in) is actually programmed habit?  That is a lot of automatic thoughts that lead to a lot of automatic actions going on.   There really is no there, there a good part of our day!!!

    No wonder we keep doing what we do despite our not wanting to do it some of the time.  Forget, “Who moved my cheese?”—“Who ate my cheese?—Oh wait I did, and I didn’t even remember..” is more like it!!!

    I am offering you a direct link to Video #2 from my new video series today “Make the Shift to Thin Thinking” which offers some really actionable ways to break out of the familiar, habitual thought patterns that cause us to binge, make bad food choices, not say “no” when we really want to, not exercise when it is our intention to etc.

    Check it out—there is a lot in there including a fun demonstration of how a co –worker and her cookies can either send you to a Fat thinking Place or a Thin Thinking Place and what to do to make the Shifted choice.

    Read below about the no cost  Shift video training series coming your way starting  this week!

    “Is it always going to be like this?  Am I always going to struggle?”

    The weight struggle is frustrating and demoralizing.  Often by the time a client comes to me for help they feel like a failure in this part of their life and maybe even a little insane.  That’s right insane.

    “Rita I know what I should be doing but why can I not do it consistently enough to lose the weight?  There must be something wrong with my mind!”

    They are also usually exhausted and fed up with flip flopping between the critical and inner voice that wants to put them on restrictive diets in order to control them and the rebellious inner voice that wants to disconnect and over eat food.

    Often people confide in me that they are afraid that they are afraid that fear that this struggle with themselves is going to continue the rest of their lives.

    I understand completely having struggled myself for such a long time.

    That is why I am excited to announce that beginning Wednesday this week I will be sending you a complimentary “Intro to the Shift” Video Training Series designed to Shift you out of the STRUGGLE and to move you towards SUCCESS.

    -This series will be great for people who:

    - Have never participated in the Shift Weight Mastery Process and want to find out more and get Shifting

    -Have done the Shift 30 Day Weight Mastery Process but need to re boot and get focused

    -Are not yet a part of Shift or even on this list but who might benefit by your forwarding the trainings to them.**

    **(Many people tell me they want to suggest the Shift Weight Mastery Process to family and friends but are not sure how to explain the process or are worried they might offend them by making them think they think they are fat—this series is cool enough to forward on and just say “this video series is a cool way of explaining why it’s hard to get healthy even though we know we should—check it out”).

    I am so excited to be sharing this training with you and look forward to your ideas and comments on the pages.  The series is complementary —just training I want to share as my mission is to broaden the reach the Shift currently has and to help as many people as we can take back their power form old useless beliefs and behaviors and to create a powerful relationship with food and exercise, their bodies and mostly themselves—you included!

    I look forward to Shifting with you!!
