Many of us have lost weight and/or reached other health goals. We’re ready for that next chapter, maintaining the gains we’ve accomplished.
This group will have Friday check ins, where everyone can touch base. Weigh-ins are optional, and will not be tracked. Please feel free to share your non-scale victories (NSV) as well. Each week I plan to post some “food for thought” also, either some helpful information or just a little motivation for the week ahead.
In order to foster group participation, we do ask that only participants post, so please do join! You can join at any time simply by hitting the “post reply” button and saying something along the lines of “I’d like to join.” As they say, the more, the merrier.
Hi everyone!
By now I'm guessing we are all familiar with Jeff, the McDougall Program Dietician. He wears many hats, including chef, educator, moderator and cheerleader. Recently, in response to another thread, Jeff wrote this paragraph that I think fits especially well with all of you:
...I think anyone trying to do this is a “success” whether you have one day, one week, one month, one year, even if you have slipped many times in the process, etc. A success is one who never gives up and keeps trying.
...
You are a shining example of a success.
YOU ARE A SHINING EXAMPLE OF SUCCESS. Vacations happen. Family gatherings happen. Life happens. Yet, you keep showing up. You work hard to set yourselves up so that when you are hungry and tired the path of least resistance is the healthier option. Day in and day out, you remember your goals and the steps you need to take to achieve them.
And, here is a video about reducing stress with meditation, so that when we are hungry and tired, we have one more tool in our tool belt to help us reach for a peach instead of pizza.
Wishing you all a wonderful start of summer,
Lindsey
