If you've struggled with your weight for years, chances are you already know how to lose weight. The harder question is: How do you actually keep it off while living a normal life? u That's why I wanted to bring Jane Scofield onto the podcast. Jane was a lifelong yo-yo dieter who went through the Shift Weight Mastery Process with hypnosis three years ago, released 35 pounds, and has maintained that release ever since. And these haven't been three perfectly controlled years. Jane has retired, traveled extensively, enjoyed restaurants and celebrations, and even dealt with an injury that kept her from her usual walking routine. Today we're talking about what she has learned about long-term weight mastery, how she handles travel and getting off track, and the simple practices that help her stay connected to herself without feeling like she's spending the rest of her life on a diet. So if you've ever thought, I know I can lose the weight, but how do I keep it off this time?—come on in. This episode is for you. ​Join my FREE Masterclass: How to Stop the "Start Over Tomorrow" Weight Struggle Cycle and Begin Releasing Weight for Good ​ If you know how to lose weight but keeping it off is where things fall apart, this free masterclass is for you. I'll walk you through why so many of us get stuck in the "start over tomorrow" cycle every time life gets busy, and the mindset shifts that help you get back on track sooner, so travel, celebrations, and off days don't undo your progress. You'll also get to experience a little hypnosis. I'd love to see you there! ​In This Episode, You'll Also Learn… How Jane handles travel without dieting or giving up, and why she often comes home from a trip lighter than when she left Why Jane looks at her eating week by week and treats maintenance as a five-pound range instead of one number on the scale What filled Jane's time (and her thoughts) after retirement so food didn't take over, and how she kept her weight steady through a long injury recovery Links Mentioned in the Episode: Join my FREE Masterclass: "How to Stop the "Start Over Tomorrow" Weight Struggle Cycle and Begin Releasing Weight for Good."

How long have you been mad at yourself about your weight? Maybe you're still angry about the weight you gained, the weight you released and gained back, the promises you made to yourself and didn't keep, or all the years you spent thinking you should have figured this out by now. Or maybe it's much smaller than that. You got off track last week, the scale went up this morning, or you ate more than you intended last night and you're still giving yourself a good talking-to about it today. When we've struggled with our weight for years, we can build quite an evidence file against ourselves—and "just forgive yourself" can sound a whole lot easier than it actually feels. In this episode of Thin Thinking, we're looking at self-forgiveness as a practical Weight Mastery skill. I'll walk you through three very different layers of forgiveness—from making peace with the person you used to be, to learning from the times you get off track, to a five-minute forgiveness practice you can use when you simply ate more carrot cake than your body was particularly thrilled about. Because forgiveness isn't about letting yourself off the hook or pretending your choices don't matter. It's about getting out of the courtroom, getting curious about what happened, and becoming someone you can trust to come back for yourself again and again. So come on in! ​Join my FREE Masterclass: How to Stop the "Start Over Tomorrow" Weight Struggle Cycle and Begin Releasing Weight for Good ​ If you're tired of beating yourself up and starting over every Monday, this free masterclass is for you. I'll show you why the "start over tomorrow" cycle keeps so many of us stuck, and the mindset shifts that help you get back on track faster and stay there. It's a great next step after this episode, because breaking that cycle is where real, lasting weight release begins. Come join me! ​In This Episode, You'll Also Learn… Why being hard on yourself doesn't actually keep you accountable, and how forgiveness frees you up to take real responsibility The difference between asking "What's wrong with me?" and "What happened?", and why only one of them helps you get back on track Why Weight Mastery isn't about never slipping, and how forgiveness shortens the distance between getting off track and getting back on Links Mentioned in the Episode: Join my FREE Masterclass: "How to Stop the "Start Over Tomorrow" Weight Struggle Cycle and Begin Releasing Weight for Good."

Have you ever started a weight loss journey feeling all fired up and ready to go, and then somewhere along the way, the sparkle wore off? The meals start feeling a little repetitive, exercise becomes a bit of a chore, the scale isn't giving you the applause you were hoping for, and suddenly your weight release journey feels like one big case of the blahs. And that, my friend, is often when old habits start quietly knocking at the door. In this episode of the Thin Thinking Podcast, we're taking a look under the lid of weight loss boredom—because there may be a lot more going on under there than you think. We'll explore why boredom shows up, how your Inner Rebel can sneak into the picture, and some simple ways to bring curiosity, challenge, and even a little fun back into the process. So come on in!

What if one of the biggest secrets to long-term Weight Mastery isn't making better decisions all day long—but making fewer decisions in the first place? Over the years, I've realized that so much of what keeps me healthy and maintaining my weight isn't willpower. It's sequencing. One thing cues the next, the next thing cues the next, and eventually those healthy patterns become so familiar that I barely have to think about them. In this episode, I'm taking you inside my morning routine—and we'll look at the science of habit and automaticity, how old Weight Struggle sequences get wired in without us realizing it, and how you can begin creating simple new sequences that support your health, your Inner Coach, and your long-term Weight Mastery. Come on in! ​Join Our Live Fall 2026 Shift Weight Mastery Process​ ​ ​In This Episode, You'll Also Learn… Why 43% of what you do every day is running on autopilot—and why "Why am I doing this again?" is usually a well-practiced path, not a character flaw Why the "21 days to a habit" rule isn't real, what the research actually found, and why missing a day doesn't undo a thing How to pack your anchors instead of your whole routine when you travel—and why "everything falls apart on vacation" is about missing cues, not missing discipline Links Mentioned in the Episode: Join my FREE Masterclass: "How to Stop the "Start Over Tomorrow" Weight Struggle Cycle and Begin Releasing Weight for Good."
