Grilling and Barbecue Techniques

Hello, Weight Watchers! Was it easier to manage your portion sizes and increase your satisfaction levels after last week's meeting? Pick out the tips that will be best for you to "trick" yourself into being more satisfied with less food!

TFL OF THE WEEK
Asserting can help you to ask for what you need without disregarding the other person's needs and rights.

• What do you need and who can help you with it?
• Check for the balance between your needs and wants and those of the other person involved.
• Stand/sit tall and confident.
• Use straight talk to ask for what you need.
  

DECLARE YOUR THINDEPENDENCE!
This week, I want you to use the Asserting tool to declare YOUR Thindependence! You ARE worth it! You CAN do this!

I found two versions of the Declaration of Thindependence and liked them both so much, that I am including them here. I encourage you to complete them and use them to help remind you of what goals you are trying to reach, why you want to achieve them, and why you are worth the effort.
