Inside Out Weight Loss
A former food addict, Renée Stephens has come a long way. She lost her weight over 20 years ago, and now she is on a mission to stop the slimming struggle. She wants you to know that not only is lasting change possible but also that weight loss can be your door to a more joyous and fulfilling life. And Renee’s ready to show you the way to get there, today.
To Renée, weight loss is not about dropping a few pounds for swimsuit season, it’s about getting out of our own way, stopping the self criticism, and falling in love with our lives and our bodies. It’s not about self-control; it’s about self-expression.
Renée specializes in helping one of the most difficult populations: women who have struggled with their weight for years, tried all the diets, and often given up.
Using state of the art tools from Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnotherapy, and Life Coaching, Renée helps her clients re-wire their brains to change not just behavior, but deep seated motivation. The result is both an ease of living, and an awakening to the rest of life.
Renée has developed her Inside Out Weight Loss program over the last six years and has run seminars and programs for companies including GAP, Oracle, NEC, General Dynamics, Western Athletic Clubs and Whole Foods Markets.
Renée holds an MBA from the London Business School, and BA with Distinction from the University of Virginia. She is a Certified Hypnotherapist, Certified Master Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming, Certified Life Coach and Certified Destination Coach.
Prior to dedicating her life to Inside Out Weight Loss, Renée had a successful career in Marketing and International Business, working for companies including IBM, Sun Microsystems, and the former Price Waterhouse. She speaks fluent Spanish, and reasonable French and Portuguese, especially after a little practice!
She is a fitness enthusiast and especially enjoys skiing, hiking, running and weight lifting.
Renée is an inspiring motivational speaker, seminar leader, and coach whose focus is on creating positive and lasting change, from the boardroom to the beach. She can be contacted at renee@personallifemedia.com or at 206-350-5333
January 30, 2009: Renée's 5 SUBCONSCIOUS SLIMMING STRATEGIES!
How many of us haven't yet figured out that broccoli is generally a better choice than a Big Mac? The challenge for most isn't in knowing what we should do to lose weight, but rather in actually doing it. These five strategies that will help you enjoyably do what you already know you should.
1. Recognize the Positive Intent We overeat for a reason, and the reason, believe it or not, isn't self-torture. We all prefer pleasure over pain, and let's face it, you're getting some pleasure out of overeating, or you wouldn't do it. Perhaps it's the distraction, the taste, or the comfort.
Whatever the reason, notice that, in its essence, it's positive... Then begin to design new behaviors and thought patterns that work even better than food. For example, if food is a distraction, what are you distracting yourself from? How could you enjoy that more?
2. Whisper Sweet Things to Yourself How do you talk to yourself? Would you speak to a friend or a child in this way? If you did, how would it affect them? Just for fun, pretend you are your own best friend, and say the nicest, most supportive things you can imagine to yourself. Switch to "I feel good about myself" or even "I am so silly!" from your top ten self criticisms and watch your sweet words replace your sweet tooth.
3. Focus on Self-Correcting. No matter what your resolve, no matter how miraculous the diet, you will overeat again. We know this because Naturally Slender people overeat from time to time. Sometimes they misjudge how filling their food will be, other times they make a conscious choice to do it. But it doesn't matter. They are still naturally slender.
The difference is that the Naturally Slender self correct. They know how to bring themselves back into balance after over-indulging. So if they dip their chips a few too many times at a cocktail party, they eat less at dinner. If they become upset emotionally, they get the support they need before coping with cookies and cake.
Shift your focus to how you bring yourself back into balance after overindulging, and on decreasing the time it takes to do so. Whether it's a walk in nature, a workout, or a talk with a friend that brings you back into balance, make self-correcting your new priority.
4. Focus on the Solution, not the Problem There is a Huna saying (Huna is the spiritual practice of the traditional Hawaiian culture) that goes "Energy goes where attention flows". In other words, what you think about expands. If you are constantly thinking about what you don't want, you will have more of it. The subconscious mind does not understand a negative command. So if I were to say "don't think of a pink elephant with purple spots on its big floppy ears right now" what do you think about? If you tell yourself "don't eat", what do you think you will want to do?
Consider focusing on what you do want instead. For example, "I want to be relaxed around food" or "I want to love to exercise". The energy will happily flow to the solution, and your subconscious mind will begin to design ways to get you what you want.
5. Change Your Definition of Success If you have set a goal for yourself of reaching a certain weight, it will probably take some time before you reach that goal. And along the way, the scale may not always tell you what you want to hear.
Because it's hard to stay motivated for a long term goal that involves short term "sacrifice", consider changing your goal to something that you can be successful at every day, such as making a healthy choice, or self-correcting.
