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: Learn to indulge
Summarizing the Success Handbook:
"Anyone can exclude everything they love for a certain amount of time and lose weight, but most people can't use that strategy forever." (p.109)
If you look at your week, where do indulgences and splurges occur?
Using your Weekly PointsPlus Allowance gives you that flexibility. Other types of plans, you go over your daily points/calories/etc. and you feel like a failure. Your Weekly Points help stop that type of thinking and help you stay in control. People also tend to be happier when they don't feel deprived on their diet. Here are some strategies:
Schedule the indulgences - knowing there is something you really want this week will help you decline lesser temptations
Minimize your exposure - Don't bake enough for a dozen people at home, purchase a single serving at a bakery, or give the rest away
Decide what happens after the indulgence - Make sure your next meal/snack put you right back on track
Learn from your mistakes and then let them go - If things go horribly, don't get mad at yourself, learn from it and take the next step forward
Reflect and make adjustments - After any experiment on your journey, it's good to look back at what went well and what didn't
Laugh about it all - a sense of humor will help you stay focused and positive
"It's essential to brand out and try new Routines and to make an effort to bring all food and food experiences into your life in a managed way." (pg. 113)
How do indulgences fit into your plan?
What have you tried that didn't work? What did you learn from it?
What have you tried that did work?
This Week’s Routine: (8) Eat all your meals free of distraction (e.g., not while watching
TV, reading, in front of a computer, using your smartphone.)
GHG of the Week: 1 or 2 servings Lean Protein (ex. meats, skinless poultry, fish, beans, soy products, and lentils)
