"Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!" The weather certainly didn't cooperate much this last week. Monday found me snow bound at home. Luckily, one of my peers was able to jump in and lead my Monday evening meeting. A huge THANK YOU to A!! I was happy to see those who made it out and about Tuesday with the remnants of the snow from Monday.
"Treat Yourself" was the topic this past week. I encourage my members to dip in to those additional Weekly PointsPlus Allowance Points you are given each week. Research has shown that members who achieve their goal weight and Lifetime status and MAINTAIN their goal weight regularly dip in the WPPA. Why are they successful? Because the WPPA allows them to utilize 'flexible restraint'. Flexible restraint is key to maintaining one's weight loss. Here's the reason behind the success:
If a member highly restricts their food choices, it most likely will backfire. The result may be binging on the food(s) they have been craving. Members need to find the happy medium where they can enjoy the foods they crave (in modest proportions) versus total deprivation. The middle ground is flexible restraint.
There were many, many celebrations in the meeting rooms - again! 5 pound, 10 pound, 15 pound....55 pound celebrations! 5%, 10%......and they just keep coming! Keep up the great efforts. The baby steps are adding up!!
Have a great week. See you in the meeting room!
