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!!!

Weight Mastery: The Average Weight Gain this Christmas is...

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.

The Re-Shift  and The Shift Weight Mastery Process  will be on January 26th at the LAX Radisson Malibu Room from 9-5 http://www.shiftweightmastery.com/ShiftSeminar.html .

Shift Monthly Mastery Membership enrollment is now open!  Get ongoing support and a ton of valuable benefits and hypnosis that will set you up to be successful with your weight goals. Get started now with Phase 1. Join at a low monthly rate—rate will soon increase.  Details here: http://www.shiftweightmastery.com/monthlymembership.html

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!
