It is always good to reflect on your journey and in this instance it is good to do a stocktake of all the new tools that you have in your weight loss toolkit. It doesn’t take long to build up a strong kit of handy tips and tricks to help you get to goal and stay at goal.
Getting started / setting your first goal - you have taken the first steps in your weight loss journey and you have set your first small goal that you are working towards achieving within a realistic time frame.
Building your support network / Attending meetings - you have started building your support network of positive ‘like minded’ people. People who have your best interests at heart. If you are a Weight Watchers member you will have attended a couple of meetings and you will have a wonderful support network in your group meetings.
Tracking your food - You may have downloaded an app or bought a journal to track everything that you eat and drink. Tracking food should have become second nature and you will be getting a good idea of the value of points or calories.
Taking measurements - You should be starting to see some small results with your measurements. Use those small achievements as motivation to see more results in the coming weeks.
Planning and preparation - Planning and preparation will be making your life easier and you should be feeling more in control of what you are eating and when you are eating.
Exercise - You should start to feel the benefits of regular exercise. It should be helping your fitness and the results at the scales.
Weighing in - You should have had another weight in day... How did it go? how do you feel? This is the time to celebrate your success at the scales or re-evaluate if you have had a gain or no loss.
Making time - You should be feeling more in control of your daily life and finding time to do the things that will help you get to goal.
Change - by now, some of the small changes that you have made will be making a big change to your health and well-being.
Hydrate - Drinking water should now be second nature and you should be feeling the benefits of being fully hydrated throughout each day.
Feelings and emotions - your journey is going to be one of many highs and some lows, but remember that each feeling will pass with time and if you are feeling low today, tomorrow is another day.
Today,
I wish you...
The time to sit and reflect on the last few days and and all the small changes you have made to help your weight loss journey a head.
