Hello Fellow Weight Watchers!!!!
I’m honored to have been asked (by Jane ) to begin a weekly Weight Watchers meeting topic discussion. Before we dive in, a quick little background about what this is and why:
During Weight Watchers meetings, the leader presents a topic and it’s discussed by the members that evening. Many people share their ideas and tips during this time. The topics are usually health and/or plan related. Although they are not rocket science , they can bring to light certain ways we can improve our own behaviors. Most certainly, they can help keep us on track.
Unfortunately, not all of us Weight Watchers are able to attend weekly meetings in person, or we’ve decided that the in-person meetings are not for us. In order to spread the love & knowledge that a meeting can provide, I’ll be posting the weekly topic of discussion. This will give At Home members, Flex followers, Core followers, and even meeting going members a chance to participate and maybe pick up a few useful ideas.
Everyone is welcome to join in and contribute. Please share with us!
With that said, let’s begin our first discussion, shall we?
This week’s topic: It's All In Your Mind
Our successes, and our failures, will go exactly how we think they will.
Do you believe that thinking negatively or positively about your weight loss effects your progress?
Do you fall into either of the below examples?
Examples of Negative Thinking:
All or Nothing
Self-fullfilling Prophecy
Any other negative thinking that effects you?
Using our Tools for Living: Positive Self Talk
What is something you might say to a friend or relative who says:
a) I can't do this.
b) I'll never reach my goal weight.
c) I can't say no to food.
How to manage negative thoughts:
1) Catch yourself in the act. Notice when you're thinking negatively.
2) Challenge the thought. Ask yourself why you've thought negatively. Tell yourself that thought isn't true.
3) Turn the Negative around. Tell yourself the positive.
Is there anything you do specifically when you catch yourself having a negative thought?
Positive thoughts breed positive actions and positive results!
