Hope you are having a good day. I am. I can feel myself getting hungry. I would like to eat, but I still have students in the room for a few more minutes. No worries, I will be ok.
Today I would like to talk about using the tools of the program. There are sooo many out there. Of course, you are reading one. There are the weekly meetings. My favorites: measuring spoons, electronic scale, points calculator, tracker. Etools. WW magazine. Weightwatchers.com. Cookbooks. Portion control. Exercise videos. Pedometers. Your before and after pictures. Stepping on the scale. And countless others.
What are your favorites? What do you use regularly? Which would you recommend to friends? Which do you avoid, why?
If we use all of the tools of the program, or at least the ones we know will benefit us, why should we not succeed? We will. That's it. We carry with us everyday all of the things we need to be successful. We therefore, should be successful. Only when we decide to go it alone or chuck the tools we need, are we going to have a hard time with the program.
We need to stay faithful. Carry the tools with you. Make yourself a notecard to carry that reminds you of something you have a hard time with. Put a post-it note somewhere visible. Have it read a positive thing that will help you. Carry an anchor in your pocket....like that rock I gave you, or your before photo (wallet size) or whatever.....your Making it Mine in 2009 pencil.
The program is harder, like walking in the dark, without the tools.
Today's diddy: "He who carries his own lantern, need not worry in darkness." Hasilu (?) saying. (Sorry, I left my book at home with the quote in it.)
