Hello, Weight Watchers! Were you able to "break off" any bad food relationships this week? Red-light trigger foods are those that can cause out-of-control eating, and we discussed strategies to deal with them in last week's meeting.
THINK SPRING!
Looking down the road a bit, Memorial Day is only 8 weeks away. Can you see yourself wearing a smaller size at the first barbecue of the season? Do you imagine feeling more confident in 8 weeks because you’ve lost 4 to 16 pounds? Prepare now so you can enjoy a slimmer summer. Eat wisely, move more, think first, attend meetings. The signal is green and you’re behind the wheel – let’s go!
