Keeping the Holidays in Perspective

Hello, Weight Watchers! How do you feel after the Thanksgiving holiday? If you are feeling positive, I look forward to seeing you this week to hear about your success! If you are feeling negative, let’s use your weekly meeting this week as a time to learn from experience, re-motivate yourself for success, and plan for upcoming challenges. Last week, we talked about making yourself a priority and giving yourself a gift over the holiday season. Why not make your gift this week the time you spend at your meeting?

WEIGHT WATCHERS WANTS YOU!

GETTING SUPPORT

When Weight Watchers founder Jean Nidetch called her friends to talk about their obsession with eating cookies, she set a precedent that became an integral part of Weight Watchers. Weight loss and maintenance are easier when members share their joys, sorrows, and experiences with other people. Support for their weight-management efforts – talking about what works and laughing about what doesn’t – gives them encouragement and hope.

Now people all over the world meet every week to benefit from this same kind of support. Support and encouragement are important, and the weekly meeting is the foundation of the Weight Watchers support network. Many of the changes members are making occur outside the meeting, but coming back for the support can provide the motivation you need to keep going for one more week. Even if you haven’t attended for awhile, we will always be happy to have you back at Weight Watchers!

ARTICLES OF NOTE

When we think of a holiday as happening once a year, we may be tempted to relax our weight-loss efforts for the occasion. This week, we will gain perspective that festive times are another day on our weight-loss calendar with special challenges that we are capable of managing. Join us this week to set holiday weight-loss goals and Keep the Holidays in Perspective.

Have a great week, everyone!
