EP399: In today's episode, I've invited a past guest, Rita Black, who is a clinical hypnotherapist and leading expert in the fields of smoking cessation and weight loss, to join me again because our last conversation was so powerful, and it's worth hearing again.

Not only is Rita the author of the best-selling book "From Fat to Thin Thinking: Unlock Your Mind for Permanent Weight Loss," she also hosts her own podcast called "Thin Thinking." I've split this episode into two parts with the first part the highlights of our last conversation in June of 2023 and the second part being an new conversation where we delve deeper into Rita's methodologies for facilitating lasting change through hypnosis, emphasizing the significance of shifting subconscious beliefs and identities that can shift seemyly unbreadkable habits in just one session, like the session she experienced that changed the trajectory of her life and, more importantly, her health. This episode includes so many great nuggets of information including: How one hypnosis session helped her kick her 30+ year smoking habit. How her personal experience lit a fire within to learn hypnotherapy so she could help people struggling with the problems she had overcome with hypnosis. Her personal experience with bulimia and her perspective in the dieting industry  Her tips for breaking free from destructive habits and achieving success in weight loss and smoking cessation  Rita recounts her transition from Hollywood script writer to hypnotherapy and the pivotal role hypnosis played in her personal evolution. Her expertise and practical strategies will inspire you to make lasting changes and step into the second half of your life with renewed vitality.

Hypnotherapist Rita Black is returning to the show to address the difficult issue many of us encounter when we take a break from drinking--Night Time Eating!    Night-time eating is more than an urge…it's a pattern. Which is why trying to use discipline to “not eat” or “eat less” doesn't work. Your subconscious mind has an agenda that overrides willpower.   Rita explains the patterns of “three” and how our brain will agitate us until we complete the cycle. And the only way to regain control is to create a new pattern that aligns with a stronger and more powerful self image.    Instead of seeing yourself as someone who “struggles with overeating,” you must become a person who “prefers to fast from after dinner until breakfast.” Because the easiest way to break an unwanted habit is to replace it with a desired IDENTITY.

If you're ready to take a break from alcohol OR you're feeling trapped in lifelong sobriety because you identify as a recovering alcoholic, get the exact steps you'll need to take to reclaim control over your life. Because you don't have to live by other people's rules.

She is an expert in the psychology of weight management, the author of the bestselling book From Fat to Thin Thinking: Unlock Your Mind for Permanent Weight Loss.

Sound familiar?"Quick Start Diet!""Lose 3 sizes in a week without diet or exercise!""Doctor discovers secret fruit that sheds pounds and inches!" We see it on the internet--in our newsfeed--at the newsstand.  We see it all the time, especially now in January. The diet industry sells diets with the idea of the quick results--which unfortunately we fall for because we want to get out of the pain and chaos of feeling overweight.  Unfortunately the quick fix approach doesn't work and just keeps us focused on finding the next quick fix--which isn't sustainable so we fall off it and then feel like a failure and then we do it again and feel like a failure and rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat. What if we stopped being obsessed with the quick fix diet and started fixing our relationship with ourselves, believing in ourselves, the way we communicated with ourselves so we can truly begin a journey of releasing weight that was sustainable and lasting? That is the shift my guest today on Thin Thinking did and it's an inspiration story to hear. Sheree Hess spent a lifetime on the yo-yo diet merry go round, looking for answers outside of herself and never kept the weight, only to find out that she just needed to shift her mindset, commit from the inside out despite a slow start on the weight release front.  And now, she is down 60 pounds, and living her best life and about to tie the knot with the man of her dreams!  Join us as Sheree shares her struggles and successes in this interview that sheds light on the idea that slow and steady wins the race.  So come on in to Episode 98 of Thin Thinking and let's get started.   The 30-Day Shift Weight Mastery Self-Study Process–2 for 1 Offer Enroll in the hypnosis-based weight release program now and get access to the LIVE Online Shift Weight Process in Spring or Autumn led by Rita Black for no additional fee.

Do you have a bad habit you would like to overcome once and for all? I believe most people have had the experience of struggling to change habits in some shape or form. My special guest today, Rita Black, is sharing how to reframe your relationship to your undesired habit so your brain can harness the power of the subconscious to shift past belief and habit barriers to create powerful breakthroughs that last. Rita Black is an author, speaker and the director of Shift Hypnosis in Los Angeles. She is an expert in the psychology of weight management, the author of the bestselling book: From Fat to Thin Thinking: Unlock Your Mind for Permanent Weight Loss. Before Rita was a hypnotherapist, she was a client, using hypnosis to stop a pack-and-a-half a day smoking habit and “release” 40 pounds. It is her passion to help you with your own transformation.Timestamps: • [3:34] Rita discusses her first hypnosis experience and remembers saying: “I don't want anybody to get in my mind… I'm a type A personality and nobody can get my mind.”• [6:21] “It helped me change my identity and helped me change my beliefs and habits around food…” • [9:19] “I think when we go through a shift, like an identity change, and we start taking back those parts of our lives we gave away to that other thing. We just can see how powerful our mind is.” • [15:02] Rita talks about our brains being like a computer: “it's taking in so many bits, millions and millions of bits of information every second, and it needs a sorting device to sort of say, pay attention to this, don't pay attention, that is nonsense.”For more information on the Make Time for Success podcast, visit:  https://www.maketimeforsuccesspodcast.comGain Access to Dr. Christine Li's Free Resource Library where she offers you 12 downloadable tools and templates to help you bypass the impulse to procrastinate.
