My son is learning to drive. It has been a slow and anxiety provoking process! Two weeks ago was a crazy ride. I let him drive to school and on that one trip he almost plowed the side of the house backing out of our driveway and then nearly backed into the garbage truck on the street.

As we were going along he failed to see the fire truck right behind us until it was blaring its horn at us and so in a frantic knee-jerk response he swerved to get out of the way, almost side-swiping 3 cars. To top it off he turned left into a line of oncoming cars almost getting me t-boned on the way--this was all within a 15-minute drive.

He knew that was a bad trip. He got out of the car when we got to school and I --shaking like a leaf--hugged him goodbye for the day. He said, "Mom, I am sorry maybe I shouldn't drive anymore." And I said "No, you have to drive, that is the only way you are going to get better. You probably learned more today on our trip here than you will learn in school--don't quit, just learn the lessons you need to from what doesn't work and move on."

Yesterday he drove us again to school--he backed up like a pro and the whole drive was so in control I even had time to look at my phone for a few moments. He was so pumped and I was so happy for him--he has mastered a new level of competency--how? By making mistakes and getting right back on track.

Being consistent with weight release isn't about being perfect--it's a set of skills that we build and it's who we become over time.

One of the most important skills for consistent weight release is the skill of getting back on track after going off track. So many people do not do this--they get caught up in being perfect and starting over. Did you do this when you learned to drive--no! You kept going...and learning and mastering driving.

So, in episode 61 of our Thin Thinking Podcast, we will dive in and explore one of the most critical mental muscles in our weight mastery journey - working out for consistency and getting back on track the moment you get off.

This 5-step process will help us to easily move back to our journey not feeling like a loser but still keeping motivated and self-loving to a successful weight mastery journey.

In This Episode, You'll Also Learn…

• How using a different vocabulary in dealing and with getting off track will help us refocus to what is really important and to what needs to be done
• The importance of knowing and being mindful of our personal indicators when we get on track or off track and getting responsible for our own journey
• Rita's effective S.H.I.F.T. steps to get back on track

Did you know that most people who struggle with weight lose and gain an average of 250 pounds over their life?

When someone loses weight it is so easy to notice the external changes--but we rarely see the journey from the inside out. For every pound lost there are decisions to be made, stretching past our comfort zone to be done--and inner communications that need tweaking.

This month, starting with episode 58 of The Thin Thinking Podcast, I will explore the theme "The Journey of Weight Mastery". I am starting with an interview with Lisa who not only has released 40 pounds on the outside--but has done a significant amount of changing on the inside--she will share with us how this journey is one of the most courageous and life affirming journeys that she has embarked upon.

Lisa shares amazing insights from her journey of releasing 40 pounds and will give you a taste of what the inner journey of embarking upon a long term weight release journey is about.

Many people who smoke are very afraid of gaining weight when they stop.

After working with smokers for 20 years, I happen to know that this doesn't need to be the case when your mind is in the right place.

Many people begin a powerful journey of getting healthier and slimmer when they snuff out their cigarettes or puff their vape for the last time.

In episode 56 of Thin Thinking Podcast, my guest Melanie Lee, will prove this point, not only with her wonderful story of stopping smoking, but how quitting prompted her to begin a journey of self love, which included releasing weight.

She has now let go of 52.4 pounds so far. So learn the shifts she made in her thinking on her powerful journey of becoming healthier and happier in our Thin Thinking Podcast.

Say what?

Yes, siree. Preparing for maintenance: knowing you will get there, being confident that you can stay there, believing it is possible with all of your being is part of what helps you stay on your weight release trajectory.

Otherwise, any attempt at weight loss is like getting on a road, not knowing where it leads, and not knowing what you are going to find when you get there. Chances are at some point you run out of gas or just lose focus and turn around.

In episode 55 of our Thin Thinking Podcast, I share with you the steps to prepare your mind to step into maintenance like a master, because maintenance is a mindset more than anything else.
