Super quick reminders....

Weight loss and health are cultural....post, interact. Do not be a silent stalker!

Transformation and change will take time and work #sayitaintso ;)

Don't be afraid to give others your perspective on something when they are struggling. Everyone is in the group to change, change is only going to happen once we change our way of thinking too. You giving your perspective will help you reflect on you, and it might be just what the other person needed!!!!

Mondays: We have our weekly weigh-ins. This is a chance to have accountability, AND to reflect on last week, how it went well, how it did not go well. AND also gain perspective on how to change the next week so we can continue to move towards our ultimate goals.

Today's HW: post who you are, starting weight, something about you.

Other HW...sabotage...today if you are having trouble if you are about to reach for something that is "off plan" pay attention to the reason you are about to ignore your plan and eat it. Listen to the argument in your head...learn how you are able to convince yourself.

Sabotage Vs. Living

What is self-sabotage?

How do I know I am self-sabotaging or just living a moderate lifestyle occasionally???

Quick and dirty answer:

Moderate Lifestyle = Indulging and making more just moderate lifestyle choices

***moderate lifestyle = the freedom to “just have one serving here and there”***

Deciding to eat it knowing the pros and the cons. No emotions!

No emotions? Yeah for some people out there this idea of eating moderately not based on emotions seems like a foreign concept!!!

Eating with eye wide open

Eating without feeding (no pun intended) a negative behavioral feedback loop

If it seems like a foreign concept….you are likely "sabotager."

Sabotage = “Effit” = Negative Emotion attached

"I don’t care”

"Don’t talk to me about what I am eating

Using food to fix “xyz”....sleep, anger, frustration, sadness, guilt

Using food in a maladaptive way

Wishing we had more control, association eating with a negative “desire for more control”
