From Fat to Thin Thinking
Page 30
I’m also grateful to Mickey Marraffino, Mark Schubb, Deb Magit, Genia Quinn, and other clients and friends who loaned me their professional insights on business and marketing in the early days.
I would like to humbly bow down before my amazing team. Without their incredible talent, commitment, and patience, this book would not be possible. Dianne Lange, thank you for guiding me through the process of my first book. Your coaching and editing have made an enormous difference. Mary Burch, thank you for coming on board with the SHIFT and whipping the company and this book into shape. I truly appreciate you and your dedication to me and the book. I couldn’t have done it without you. Kelly Hartigan at xterraweb.com who brought her keen eye to the proofreading. Catherine Aguilar who lent her artistic talent for the drawings. Pam Patterson and her design team at 14-Forty, thank you all for your design and branding contributions, friendship, generosity, and pivotal insights—from day one, you have been helping SHIFT (and me, too) to thrive and grow. I am forever grateful.
I would also like to express my gratitude to both my sets of beta test readers who fearlessly went through reading the book and testing the effectiveness of the 30-day process. I appreciate your pioneering spirit, your intelligent notes and, above all, your support. A special thanks to Maureen Burkhardt who went through the final draft with an amazing attention to detail that went above and beyond anything that I could have hoped for.
Finally, dear reader, thank you for taking the journey of making the shift from fat to thin thinking. I appreciate your willingness to make a deep change in your life. I believe that if we learn to show up for ourselves in a positive powerful way and get healthy, that our transformation will inspire others to make a similar transformation and in time make the world a much healthier and happier place to exist.
Alone we diet—Together we SHIFT
