Weight Loss Surgery Support: Daily Inspiration for December 26, 2010

Finish the year on an up note.

 

You've made it through most of the holidays now. You've made some good choices and maybe some not-so-good choices. New Year's Eve will be here soon. Use the tips and tricks you've learned along the way to finish your year on an up note.

 

If you're going to a party, bring a WLS-friendly dish to share. Make a point to take small bites and chew thoroughly. Use a smaller plate. If it's a buffet, let someone you trust put food on your plate and bring it to you. Don't drink with your meals. Plan things to do with your hands other than eating: knitting, puzzles, games. Don't skip one meal in anticipation of the next. Remember, small choices matter.

 

Action for the day: Make a plan for the remainder of your holiday season. What a great way to kick off your new year.

Thanks Molly for this encouragement to finish the year well. It does feel good to know some of the temptations will be done this week. I need to work on more changes on  the inside of me so I'm less affected by my environment. Happy New Year Dear Friend~

My goal was to make it thru Christmas and Vacation (at the same time) without gaining.  Amazingly, I was super watchful of what and where I ate and I came back 7 pounds lighter than when I left.   This has never happened before.   It took planning and dedication and it worked.   Thanks for the continued support and encouragement everyone. I couldn't do it w/o OH.
