Welcome! This is a thread for people who want to attend a meeting from the comfort of their own home. We are primarily a PointsPlus board (Go Team Yellow!) but all are welcome to revel in the GHG's, 16 Routines, and topics that never get old.
If you're new here, feel free to introduce yourself!
If you have anything to celebrate, share and give yourself a bravo sticker: +
If you want to make it official, you can weigh yourself and put it in your tracker or share it!
If you need some accountability, feel free to post daily how you’re doing on PP/GHG’s.
This Week's Topic: Erase Your Fear of the Scale from the Success Handbook
Summarizing the Success Handbook:
Liz notes that when she would weigh people in - even if seconds before they were able to clearly identify what went well or how to improve on their slip-ups - the scale could change them, filling them with doubt that anything they did had power. Don't let the scale be your judge. You get to decide if what you're doing is positive or negative. The scale is just a tool to help you make that decision.
Know how the scale effects you. Is a daily weigh-in helping you to stay motivated or does it erode your resolve? The scale is just information and not necessarily a reflection of your progress that week. Liz thinks that even removing the scale might be appropriate in certain parts of the journey. "The scale does not make you lose weight, your routines and behaviors do."
Here's how to "Take Your Focus off the Number": (1) Don't peek at your weigh-in results until after the meeting (or whenever you're in a good mental state), (2) Don't compare your weight-loss rate to others, (3) Note what the scale does to you emotionally and decide when it's helpful and when it's not, (4) Avoid time-based pounds-lost goals, like trying to lose 10 lbs by a wedding or trip, instead use routine-based goals, like tracking or going to meetings.
- How often do you weigh yourself? How does the number on the scale effect you/ your mood?
- Does your weight loss follow a pattern? Or have you had a time when it did the opposite of what you'd expect?
- What's a time-based, routine goal you'd like to set for yourself?
This Week’s Routine: (6) Eat all your meals at a table.
GHG of the Week: 2 servings of dairy products (low fat and fat free preferred)
