Lose weight when nothing else is working.

You struggle with your weight. You’re conscious of calories and how you look…. but you haven’t lost weight without gaining it back.

Why can’t you go through each day without thinking about how much you’re eating or what you look like, and just BE a skinny person??

Guerilla what?

Guerilla weight loss! It’s a class on Tuesdays @ 7pm EST, from February 23 to March 30 (6 weeks), as of 2/16 only 5 3 2 1 spot left!

It’s the perfect cure for any weight struggle: this class teaches you how to lose weight and drop the food and body obsessions.

This is how it works: you learn how to only eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re full without thinking about calories or portions — at all.

The conventional wisdom about losing weight is to restrict food and increase your exercise. This will only keep you fat.

You know  this is true because you wouldn’t be interested in this class if conventional wisdom, a.k.a. the diet industry, actually worked for you.

I guess, theoretically, the “best” case scenario (if you can even call it that?) in following conventional wisdom is becoming fairly thin, but mentally obsessed with what you’re eating and how you look almost every waking moment…

But even the “best” case scenario doesn’t last. (I know, depressing, but true). Your body is biologically programed to survive, meaning it interprets a diet as a scarcity of food, like a famine, and your brain sends a red alert to put on weight and keep it on.

You may try to ignore your urges eat when you’re dieting, but Mother Nature will always win this battle of wills with you. She is relentless and tireless. You feel obsessed with food when you restrict your food intake, and your body is packing on the calories you eat so you’ll survive this faux famine.

And this is why you’re here: you’re sick of struggling and not seeing results and thinking, thinking, thinking about it.  And the generations of your family have survived hardships with these biological systems that are driving you crazy. You just cannot beat them.

But, fear not! There’s a better way!

Why not be skinny and psychologically free from food obsession and disordered eating, too?? Get the best of both worlds: Happy, worry-free and skinny thighs.  It’s the new triple threat!

What kind of weight loss class?

Guerilla weight loss, of course!  I will not tell you what or how much to eat, or how to exercise. What I will teach you is how to be naturally thin.

It looks something like this:

• Stage 1: Learn to reconnect to your body. This enables you to be able to actually hear it when it’s hungry and stop before you’re stuffed.
• Stage 2: Learn why you disconnected in the first place. As a baby, you were totally in tune with your body — you ate when you were hungry and stopped when you were full. Whether or not you realize it right now, there is a reason you disconnected, and working through this means learning better ways (than eating until you’re chubby) to deal with uncomfortable emotions and situations.
• Stage 3: Learn how to deal with common pitfalls. Late night eating, overeating when alone, eating too much without realizing it and more… it all gets covered so you successfully change your unhelpful eating patterns.

You know, “guerilla“…

Guerilla, as in: “Tactics that are precise, strategic and unexpected” (yeah, that’s my personal definition, but doesn’t it sound right?):

• Precise: Drop the useless diets that never worked anyway. You learn only the the precise tools you need to be at your natural weight, to eat only when you’re hungry, and to be free to enjoy the rest of your skinny-person life (yay!).
• Strategic: Use sneaky, sneaky tricks. You follow the right strategy to get your body on your side. When you and your body are on the same team, you work with it, not against it. In turn, it cooperates with you and does what you want (like, oh, lose weight).
• Unexpected: RELAX to lose weight. You do the exact opposite of what you’ve always done (restricted and monitored food, over-exercised) because, as anyone who is naturally thin knows, you only get thin (and stay thin) by NOT trying to be thin. So unexpected!

Guerilla tactics are like going trying the back porch door, after trying to get into the house through the bolted front door (unsuccessfully, for your entire life…) and realizing that the back door was open and waiting for you all of this time.

Side note: “guerilla” does NOT mean “war”.

This is guerilla tactics, NOT “guerilla warfare”.

Because declaring a war on yourself never works, and is basically what you’ve been doing all these years. It’s okay, we’ve all done it (because it’s essentially what every diet tells you to do).

You know the kind head-on assault I’m talking about: you attempt to beat yourself thin with boot camps, starvation and cleanses (so miserable; Also: only make you fatter).

Eventually, you surrender due to exhaustion, or total pie-eating freak out, and all you’ve lost is money, energy and all of the healthy bacteria in your colon.

Why guerilla weight loss changes everything.

Because, aside from never having to wear your fat pants again, re-learning how and when to eat reconnects you to yourself, and that gives you all of these useful things:

• tools to accomplish, for real, anything else your heart desires
• an introduction to your intuitive abilities

• ability to mentally focus on stuff, stress-free
• increased physical energy
• loads more self-confidence
• more dates (just sayin’)

• access to your sense of purpose on the planet
• “Aha!” moments of understanding yourself and your emotions

Honestly, losing weight is more like a side effect to all of that great stuff that comes to you when you learn to listen to your body.

And, why me?

I’ve worked with nice people like you before, and they have gotten excellent results, like losing 13 pounds in the first 3 weeks, losing weight and not gaining it back and and nipping tiny weight gain in the bud when it seems to be creeping up out of nowhere.

I’m trained and certified to do this kind of work. I’ve been coaching people through this since since 2008.

I use tactics that are clinically proven (and, annoyingly, not available to the public anywhere else yet).

• By “clinically proven” I mean that Emory University’s Department of Psychology conducted many, many trials of these tactics and exercises on real people, and most of those people lost weight as a result.
• And by “not available to the public” I mean that a friend of mine is one of the psychologists involved in developing these tactics and has given me permission to use it. Otherwise, their work is not (yet – it probably will be one day) available to the general public in any format.

I also utilize the work done by a very famous weight loss coach, Brooke Castillo, and her most cutting edge work introduced to a small group of people in January at a retreat in Phoenix.

Most importantly, I’ve been where you are, and successfully figured it out. I’ve lost weight and my worked through my food issues and my emotional issues around food. I just live my happy life without feeling bad about how I look or struggling with my weight.

And my students see awesome results from this work all of the time.

Get in this class!

Space is limited, there are 7 5 3 2 1 spot left (2/19/2010). SOLD OUT!

This class always sells out. I like to keep it small. That way, everyone gets my attention and has a good, quality, best-ever kind of experience.

And I’m not a pressure-er (I hate, hate, hate being pressured), I only tell you that it sells out quickly so that you know that you probably won’t be able to wait until the last minute to sign up — maybe that will work out, who knows, but in the past it’s sold out in just a few days.

So, if you’re interested, go ahead and sign up…

Because, if you hate it, you get your money back.

I know what it feels like to buy something and not end up liking it, so if you take this class and it does nothing for you, you get a full refund.

Seriously.

This is a no questions asked, and no hard feelings kind of refund. We’ll still be cool, you can hang out on the blog and be my friend on Facebook/Twitter.

Delicious details.

First, no matter where in the world you live, you can join the class. You dial in from wherever you have a telephone.

Second, it’s on Tuesdays @ 7pm EST, from February 23 to March 30 (6 weeks). If you miss a class, that’s ok, too — it’s all recorded.

You get:

• Six classes, 50-minutes, taught by me
• Open Q&A after every class
• Class recordings emailed to you within 24 hours to download to your iTunes/iPod
• Homework that gets you really good results
• Tidy, doable exercises that make what you need to do simple
• Worksheets and outlines to guide you through new concepts
• Group of people that is going through exactly what you are (hooray, your people have found you!)
• Weekly emails with an little extra oomph to keep you motivated between classes
• Email access to me, that is unlimited, for any questions or anytime you need extra support

That’s a lot, but if you or I think of more ways to help you along, you get those, too.

Six hours of my time, alone, would normally cost you at least $650. And that’s if I have time in my schedule for new clients, which (for February, at least) I don’t.

And, no one has ever gotten the super-cool clinically proven tips (that kind of makes them priceless). Plus, all of the support by me and others, and helpful feedback, and tried-and-true exercises that are all pretty crucial to succeed in changing your way of thinking and patterns so you will permanently lose weight.

Not to mention that all of the money you’ve spent on personal trainers, diet books, diet foods and nutritionists over the years totals much, much more than that, and the emotional pain, the mental anguish and disappointment you’ve endured. Weight struggles are brutal.

So, when it just costs you $199 to be naturally thin, it’s staggeringly affordable.

BUT! It gets even better — if you sign up by next Tuesday, February 16th, the class is just $169. (sorry! no  longer available)

That’s total — even including tax, materials and unlimited good will from me. (Another reason this class will fill up FAST).

I fully believe in this work, it’s been true in my life and I’ve seen it work over and over again for my students and friends. Everything I offer is high quality and I only do work that I have done with myself, and seen work with others too.

I’m so excited to get started!

Talk to you oh-so-soon,

Laurie

P.S. — If you are thinking this class may be something you are interested in, it’s a good idea to sign up, it always sells out, and if you end up not liking it, you can get your money back with no hard feelings (though, I admit that has never happened — people have been thrilled with the class, but it’s really okay if you end up not being as thrilled, it doesn’t make you weird).

P.P.S. — Final word (promise): If you sign up for this class now, you know that you’ll be on your way to losing weight in the month of February, and by March, who knows how far along you’ll be? And, again, if you hate it, you can always undo this whole transaction. That’s all! I’m done now!
