Dear Shifters,
This week I want to quickly share the tale of two Shifters –it’s a bit of a cautionary tale.

Once upon a time, about 2 years ago, there were two lovely ladies who were clients of mine.  They had both gone through the same Shift Weight Mastery Process, they had both had a great experience and really Shifted out of Fat Thinking and into Thin Thinking and had begun to release weight…about a pound and a half a week.

 Both of these ladies were ecstatic because for the first time in their lives they finally were releasing weight on their terms.  They felt empowered and aligned with themselves and each of their visions to release about 50 pounds each.  They were exercising, listening to their hypnosis, getting support from others and really figuring out what worked for them and what didn’t in terms of feeding themselves within their body’s caloric needs for weight release.  Things were going great and they had both released about 30 lbs when…

… the “Shift” hit the fan for both of them.  Each of these lovely ladies, around the same time, had a stressful life event that came up and in dealing with that event—got a bit off track—to where their weight release stopped for about 3 weeks and then in the next few weeks each of them gained a few pounds.  YIKES.  Fear and panic set in and that is when they both contacted me and wanted my help to get back on track (individually of course as these ladies did not know each other).

I gave these ladies the same coaching that I give here in the recent “Back on Track” teleseminar.  Link below—it is a great session if you are feeling stuck right now—fabulous hypnosis too. BACK ON TRACK TELESEMINAR

My main advice that I gave both these ladies was that in order to even begin to move FORWARD with weight release that they have to give up the idea of GOING BACK.  So often when we do well with weight release and then lose steam we try to “get ourselves to go back” to how we were in the beginning. 

This is impossible to do because we are not that person that we were—we are a bit older, wiser and more Shifted.  Even though we may not  be releasing weight—and even gaining a bit—we are still SHIFTING if we are allowing ourselves to learn from what is going on with our behaviors and are coaching ourselves to move forward with what we know works for ourselves in a positive and powerful way. 

So one Shifter took my advice to heart—she forgave herself for gaining some weight and really realigned herself not only with her Inner Coach but her vision of what she wanted to release--50 pound in total. She began practicing the behaviors she knew worked for her—tracking her food, listening to her hypnosis sessions, planning her food and exercise ahead of time.  This Shifter went on to release the rest of the weight and has maintained ever since.

The other Shifter?  Unfortunately, what happened was that she could not let go of the idea of “getting back” and could not forgive herself for gaining some weight.  “That is so stupid of me—I know what to do—why can’t I be good again!!  She kept trying to “beat herself” back into “being good” with that more harsh voice of her Inner Critic and then stressed herself even more.  Of course her Inner Rebel then took over and said, “hey this is too stressful…let’s eat today and start again and be perfect tomorrow.”  But that tomorrow became another tomorrow and another tomorrow and the weight began to crept up more and more and she really found herself BACK to where she started—30 lbs up the scale.

If you are plateaued or gaining a bit right now—don’t despair—check out this week’s Back on Track teleseminar…

“Hi Rita. I've lost 13 pounds so far and loving it. The Mp3 has definitely been a God-send for me.

Its amazing how my mind has subtly shifted in a way that I didn't even really notice I was actually behaving differently in relation to food.”
