I thought I was alone on this journey. All Rita said about the Inner Rebel is me. It was enlightening! I am loving this podcast and can’t wait to be the new me!

The strategies presented in this ep will be traveling with me on my next vacation. So much of the joy of past trips revolved around local food that I needed ideas on approaching new trips with a different mindset. This ep provided a new approach, especially preparing with a vision of what you want to look like at the end of the trip, and what you want your trip to center around. At the very least I can stop the “all or nothing” thinking and “start over”mentality that accompanied previous vacations.

I am so grateful for this episode. I have recently been shamed for the amount of self care and the time it takes!! This just helped me Re affirm how much I need it and that I’m not feeling any shame about it!

I have two sisters ( of the six girls in my family) that are always suggesting podcasts for me to listen to. Most , or I should say ALL of the time they don’t resonate with me. This is the first time I go back and listen again and again to a podcast to pick up on what I missed the first time. I am five months post op With gastric bypass and I am learning so much about myself and what got me to that decision. Thank you Rita Black for your honesty and insight.

Oh my goodness, what a great podcast. She is so down to earth, real, and speaks my language. She understands where we have all been and when she says it out loud, it makes me laugh. I am officially going on a veggie adventure. My mom is at fault 100 percent for me hating veggies. In the 60’s she boiled them to death. My god, I still remember the smell. I now have a way around them and shall put this entire podcast into motion. Rita opens the door to making the shift to an amazing future. I just have to walk through it!!!

I feel like I’m saying, “yep that’s me” all the time when I listen to the podcast. Having solutions to help and change those things to become stronger in health is so key!! And truly the reason I listen! Solutions, solutions, solutions.

Rita’s methodology and coaching has helped me lose 49 pounds in 9 months. My struggle with weight has been lifelong and I still have a significant amount of weight to lose, but I’ve never felt as optimistic about succeeding as I do now. Never in my life did I believe I could drop weight while still enjoying the holidays - I weighed 11 pounds less on New Year’s Day than I did on Thanksgiving! And yes - I cooked and baked as I love to do, but indulged in moderation without feeling deprived. The free podcasts offer a wealth of information. Once you listen to a few, you may feel intrigued by Shift Weight Mastery, Rita’s program. Even if you’ve tried everything - and believe me, I have - take a look at it. What impresses me most is Rita’s personal involvement and accessibility to her subscribers - it is truly unique. There is a Facebook group she frequents right along with us and regular Zoom meetings she herself leads. Add that to the online resources, and that’s a lot of bang for your buck!

Listening to Rita Black is exactly what I needed today. Her positive attitude and mindset always puts me in the right state of mind to be the person I want to be.

Thank you Rita! I have been trying for years to release 5 to 10 pounds and now they’re gone! (12 actually and still counting!) I followed the 30-day program and continue to listen to your morning meditation everyday and one of the hypnosis sessions most afternoon/evenings. I hear your words in my mind throughout the day and they have become my words! I even find myself using them to help my family and friends (when asked). Your podcasts apply not just to weight loss, but to life!!! Thanks again!!! I am now a true believer in the power of hypnosis and the importance and power of the subconscious mind!

I got off the dieting cycle and fat thinking mindset and have put myself in the drivers seat of control, thanks to Rita and her Shift Weight Mastery program. She’s given me the tools to use my mind more effectively, to set myself up for success by creating an environment that will support my health goals, and how to manage properly my body’s energy needs (amongst other skills). I’m infinitely grateful to have discovered Rita, and am excited to keep cultivating the behaviors and skills for good health. I love the Think Thinking podcast, and listen to it while exercising. Thank you, Rita!

I have been looking for a mindful way too loss weight. I have a self sabotage personality, I have been working on it and I have found hypnosis is the best way to help. Today is the first time I’ve listened to Rita and love her, she is so down to earth and listens to what her audience is needing and covers our needs. I can’t wait to get started with my weight loss Journey with Rita.

I discovered Rita from another podcast. I listened to episode 73 Mastering Procrastination with Dr. Christine Li. I couldn’t believe my excitement of wanting more. I love Rita’s expertise of helping others in smoking, weight loss and all through hypnosis. I’m vaccinated to learn more. I joined her program to “shift” and I’m loving it. I feel like I am included in sitting with her and her guests conversations. Episode 117: Emotional Sobriety with Colleen Kachmann blew my mind! I’ve listened to it several times. Rita is the gift that keeps on giving!

Happy 2nd Thin Thinking Podcast Anniversary Rita! I’m so glad you went into the closet and began your awesome podcast journey! The world is a better place because of you and your Thin Thinking Podcast and your Shift Weight Mastery Program! If you don’t know Rita, this podcast is a great introduction! In this episode, with genuine compassion, empathy, and humor, Rita shares her own struggle with weight, what it feels like to be in struggle misery, and what true freedom without the struggle can be/feel like. Give a listen. It can change your life…it did mine!

I have been listening for a few months now and I can feel myself changing the way I think about food and weight release. I love Rita’s gardening metaphors and the episode on changing your vocabulary is a must listen!

I have recently discovered Rita Black’s Thin Thinking podcast and I’m hooked! She has a voice that is extremely easy to listen to, but more than that, she has experienced everything that she is teaching. I have only listened to the first few episodes, but so far my favorite is #2 “I Know How to Lose Weight - Why Am I Still Struggling?” This one really hit home with me as someone who has struggled to lose weight for decades and has always promised to “start again tomorrow.” No more! I will continue to listen and know that this time, I can do it!

I am not a podcaster! BUT, for some reason I entered Rita’s podcast and this was the first podcast that jumped out to me. I’m going through Divorce, I work in healthcare, and readjusting my life. The stress level is horrible and I turn to sweets. Rita not only helps me understand why, but she gives solutions to what I can do to “check in” with myself. Rita teaches that weight loss is a change in mindset and it’s a life long project for continuous success. I now relate it to “growing my career”. If you are new to Rita or long time listener, I’m glad to be a part of the pack. Thank you Rita…

Loved the episode on mindless eating. I have read the book and really appreciate using shift breath for self check-ins. Thanks!

I have been so encouraged from this podcast! It has caused me to think more about self-care! If you’re looking for kindness and compassion, when it comes to caring for your body, this is the podcast for you!

The episode on gut health has been very helpful and insightful on many issues that effect us daily. This is one great podcast that has many helpful topics discussed.

I LOVE Rita’s approach to weight loss!!! She genuinely cares about you and your weight loss success, and gives you the best tools to help you lose weight permanently by going to the ROOT of your weight struggles. She goes beyond dieting, working out, and actually helps you cultivate the mindset and mental/emotional care necessary to help you lose weight for good. She tells it like it is and also gives you great practical tips that you can implement in your life right now!

Every time I listen to Rita I learn something new. I have struggled for years with weight loss and staying fit. I believe a lot of this is the words we use. I really enjoy these podcasts and currently reading her book.

Super simple ideas… I’m actually someone who doesn’t need the weight loss but I am oddly facing prediabetic numbers due to sugar and carb cravings. It’s hard to say no. Thanks for these tips

I’m new to Rita’s work but her podcast really resonated with me. I’m a firm believer in the power of words and the small shifts in language she mentions in her podcast can pay big interns of requiring our subconscious mind. I’m excited to do the work of shifting my inner dialogue to more positive and productive words!

I have been following Rita for a while and her content is so helpful for me. As a yo-yo dieter I knew there was something more than the food I ate that was an obstacle for me. Rita is masterful at raising awareness or our inner thoughts and subconscious ideas that often lead to self- sabotage. As I have been more aware of these thoughts I have learned how to manage them and quiet them. Listening to this podcast will help you get in touch with your brain and harness the power of your subconscious mind to get the lasting transformation you desire. Thank you Rita for putting such great content out into the world. Mary Welch, NP

I really enjoy how Rita presents her unique approach to weight release in this podcast. Her programs are like no other, and this podcast lives up to her high standard of excellence. She understands the struggle, having lived through it herself. Great production value too! So easy to listen to. Tons of great wisdom for creating the mindset, for anyone, to release that excess weight.

I found Rita Black on the Beach Body app. I love this idea of hacking the unconscious mind. I bought her book and have been practicing her techniques for becoming a weight loss master. I find this to be a great tool in my toolbox. I am much more positive in my attitude towards weight loss in general.

I heard about Rita a couple months ago from a friend who had lost 40 pounds with Rita. I started listening to Rita’s podcasts on my drive. Because I wanted to actually do the exercises, I would listen again at home. I found that listening multiple times actually helps cement the processes in my mind. When Rita explains things about weight mindset, I feel like she’s reading my mind. Then she explains precisely how to get out of that destructive behavior cycle. I’m so thankful I found Rita!

Rita’s advice is spot on and the best weight loss podcast/technique I have ever come across after years of searching for solutions. Highly recommend to those ready to make a change. Have seen dramatic results in the friend who introduced me to her methods!

I have found this approach to be highly effective for many things and appreciate the great tips that she generously shares with us on weight loss and healthy are living. I have many friends that stop smoking with her method and I am looking to trying her Weight loss program. She is so knowledgeable kind and compassionate! It works!!!

I found Rita because I had a couple of people close to me who had smoking cessation miracles! I am definitely saving up to try the weight loss program! Meanwhile, these podcasts are helping me get to the right headspace!

So many weight loss programs just focus on the nuts n bolts of weight loss, but Rita gets to the emotional and mindset blocks that trip up a lot of people, myself included. Very refreshing approach.

I’ve been listening to Rita Black meditations for almost a year now. I first found them through another platform where they are part of a Relaxation and Meditation program. And although I was exercising daily and my body chemistry would change, the scale just would not budge. Yet, I was using the daily meditation and loving it, so I looked her up and low and behold found SHIFT. I bought the book and dove in. I’m only on Day 3 of my 31 day Thin Thinking Practice but I have learned so much already- about myself, my brain, my body, and how they can and will all work together to get me to my ideal weight. Don’t think about it anymore- do it for yourself, just buy the book and dive in!!

After 40 plus years( and countess thousands of dollars) of weight gain and struggle I have found a mind ”Shift” that is working for me. Rita’s podcasts, insight, new vocabulary, coaching support, and hypnosis sessions have helped me change my life. By using her techniques I now weigh less than I have in 40 years. I am thinking thin and moving toward more weight release. This podcast was just the beginning.

I am LOVING this show. I’m not quite sure how I found Rita originally but sometime last fall I must have signed up for her emails. Because just recently I started to look into using hypnosis as a way to lose this COVID 15. But I must have had this same idea last fall when I finally faced the fact that I had 15 extra pounds to show for the lockdown. Since lockdown I have been completely unable to get rid of it for any length of time. Now I have her book and I’m listening to these podcasts and I feel certain that I’m on the right path. For some reason listening to her podcasts have given me hope for some long term results. I think it is her beautiful voice. Lol. Very comforting. I’m looking into the audios available on her website but I want to get a little further in the book and listen to more of the episodes before I make my first selection. Give this podcast a try. I think you will really enjoy it.

Rita has had so much success teaching people how to shift their lifestyle into one of a healthy, Thin Thinker! I’m so happy she is sharing these stories on a podcast now. I’ve been a Shifter since 2008 and it’s ALWAYS helpful to listen to a fresh perspective. Each story re-energizes me and gives me new tips to lead a life of Thin Thinking! Brava Rita!

I’ve read Rita’s Fat to Thin Thinking last year and new I’d love her podcast just as much. She has not let me down. Her podcasts are simple yet effective with tips and motivation to take care of yourself and show yourself true love. I look forward to each new episode as there is always an “oh ya!” Moment that reminds me to take action on another step towards living my healthiest life. I Highly recommend her book and her podcast!

I lost 40 lbs last year, but backslid during the winter. This program has supported me in getting back on track to long term lifestyle change. It’s like hanging out with a friend who is a healthy living therapist and coach.

I love listening to Rita, I have been following her and listening to her talks on and off for years. It is a great reminder of how to activate your inner coach and set yourself up for weight-loss success. I am a huge fan!!!

I am so excited that Rita has added podcasts to her library of teachings! For me, she is that last piece of the puzzle I needed to achieve sustained weight loss. Her sessions allowed my mind to finally relax and do some real work towards my ultimate goal. I challenge you to open your thought process and allow her to help you as well!

As an avid podcast listener I was delighted to find that Rita started a podcast of her shift weight mastery. I enjoy the podcast I listen to it while walking my dog or on a work break. It helps me to remember not to mindlessly eat. Great podcast

The truths that Rita presents are SO liberating. It’s definitely a paradigm shift. This is ruth that has the power to transfer if you let it. Thank you! I’m so glad you created this podcast! Alice Muradyan

Rita Black has changed my life. I was part of the Shift Weight Mastery. I now have a new way of thinking about myself. I show up for myself by using my Thin Thinking state of mind. I listen to my Inner Coach. I have learned to never start over. If I eat something that I didn’t plan on eating. I tell myself, “I ate that, but I just keep moving on, moving forward. Shifting is a lifestyle. It works. I promise you. I have lost weight and have never felt better because I have a different mind set. I don’t stress about food. I talk to my Inner Coach by planning and thinking ahead.

I’ve been using Rita Black’s mindshift hypnosis sessions for some time now and it has helped me tremendously in believing and feeling I have the control over my thoughts and actions to be able to make big changes in my life. She really knows how to help us access the thoughts and visuals that stick. I’m so happy for the new podcast. THANK YOU!! Rita you are truly skilled and talented in this.

We don’t realize how badly we beat ourselves down mentally. Rita’s Thin Thinking had made me aware of how I treat myself mentally and how to change it! I love that there are podcasts to supplement the reading!

Like many people I suppose, I’ve tried every method to lose weight. But Rita gets to the real source of the issue, which is not what you eat or when you eat, but what your beliefs are. This makes so much sense to me. After listening to the podcasts, I’m going through the book slowly and planning to put in the work to become a Weight Master!

I have been doing Rita’s program for the last year and I appreciate how similar her podcast is to answer exactly how to think thin and the journey. I have lost 30 lbs with the program where I used to struggle to even lose 5 lbs. The power of visualizing in your own mind is incredible. She has such a welcoming voice and speaks so honestly which I appreciate in a podcast. Continue to listen and you’ll see how quickly your actions will reflect what she’s been saying.

Great way to start changing our mindset in order to improve our health one day at a time.Rita is a living example of the change that is possible for ourselves.Rita has years of helping others while maintaining her own healthy lifestyle

I have been working with Rita’s programs for Shift weight loss for a little bit, and am so excited for her podcast to come out. She really understands what it’s like to be on a weight mastery journey, having been there herself. She is helpful, not preachy, and has a ton of great reinforcements that help me stay on track.

Love this message. You just know she’s speaking to what’s really happening to us. Somehow Rita has figured out the key to unlock the stuff in my mind that kept me from releasing weight. I had given up all hope of a nice life and decent health. A friend gave me the courage to try one more time, and by some miracle I found Rita and her 30 day program. And I was terrified that I would fail once more. That was a year ago, and I can’t fully explain the difference. Imagine being fat, shy, depressed, stressed, and scared - even scared of being thin again and what that could bring. And emerging from Rita’s weight mastery chrysalis thin, happy, and excited for each new day. From being afraid of relationships to being in love with an amazing man. I did not, by the way, release all the weight in 30 days - had far more than that to lose. I am forever grateful to Rita and my friend and so glad I made the decision to just try.

This podcast came at a great time, as I recently finished reading and doing the thought exercises in “From Fat to Thin Thinking,” and am now in my 4th week of the 30-day Practice. It has been a transformative experience for me in terms of identifying my subconscious thought patterns and modifying them to align with my goals, rather than fighting internally with myself all the time and feeling like a failure when I couldn’t stick with a weight loss program. Rita’s approach uses a combination of research-based coaching, guided meditation (with encouragement to develop your own meditation), hypnosis, and cognitive behavioral therapy to address the underlying causes for weight gain and provide effective solutions. It was a revelation to me that the way I am learning to think through this practice (“thin thinking”) is how my “lucky, naturally thin” friends and family think when tempted to overindulge. They don’t have more willpower than me or better metabolisms or natural superiority - they just have healthier thought patterns. For the first time since I started to become significantly overweight 35 years ago, I feel in control when it comes to making choices about food and exercise, and I can truly envision myself at a healthy weight, while accepting myself now and enjoying the process of getting there.
