WLS Success-through Powerful Positive Attitudes
Recent Posts
What a wonderful start to your weight loss journey! FANTASTIC!
it is quite normal to keep walking over to the PLUS section for some time after our success. Many have felt like salespeople would chase us out of the "normal" size area or at the very least give us some severe dirty looks.
one of my quirks was when getting on the scale... before I looked down... mentally ... I would say 2 hundred.... and it was ONE HUNDRED and whatever. Before when i was close to 300lbs... mentally .... I would tell myself 100.... how strange but others have told me they have done the same thing...
WITH TIME... all this sorts itself out... just keep up following your plan and you will have continued success!

I had to share below with you all! Happy hump day everyone! WLS Daily Inspiration for December 28, 2010
Katie Jay, MSW
Reflect first, then plan.
On New Year's Eve, many people talk about their plans for the coming year. They make resolutions and hope for better times ahead. But before you start down the resolution path, pause for a moment and truly reflect. What can you learn from the past year about yourself? Have you discovered what works in terms of your health and what doesn't?
You can make resolutions soon (or better yet, set goals), but today look back. You owe it to yourself to learn your lessons, so that you can grow wiser and healthier in the coming year.
Action for the day: Even if you usually don't journal, take a few minutes to do this exercise. Make a list of things you wish you had done differently this past year, and then a list of what you did well. Next to the things you wish you had done differently, write down a step you can take to ensure you won't repeat that mistake. Next to the things you did well write down what you can do to continue having success in that area. Read this list every morning in January.

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.
