News Wire:

Vickie Parker is a marriage and family therapist and hosts a weekly program 
discussing her journey with weight loss.

She will discuss her struggles with weight loss and listen to our struggles 
as well.

Let us see what Vickie has in mind for us for week 7.

Here are my ideas for week 7.

After the Thanksgiving Holiday

We have all survived the Thanksgiving Holiday. Many of us may have enjoyed 
the Holiday. I know I really enjoyed the company and even developed some new 
behaviors. I can’t wait to share my ideas and hear about your successes and 
struggles.

Also Ruth Ann and I attended a weight loss conference and they had a number 
of interesting ideas.  We will begin the group by playing a section on 
self-care.

We will continue to talk about strategies to help us stay on or get back on 
track.

Strategies to help us/stay on track are as follows:
1. Creating positive thoughts
2. Creating a new positive self image
3. Focusing on new behaviors
4. Know yourself and what works best for you
5. Develop a support system
6. Make a comfort book and develop a plan for getting back on track

Thanks so much,

I invite you to come join are discussion group and be a part of our 
exploration and journey.

Vickie has gotten us under way with journaling.  If you would like to read 
her thoughts here, please write to me and I’ll send it to you.  I have sent 
her journaling ideas to those  who attend the various meetings.  If I don’t 
have your email please send it to me.

Please consider these thoughts in getting started on your weight loss 
journey. Where to begin?
How can I make this time losing weight different?
Why lose weight?
What does weight loss mean to you in your life?
If I were thin, what would my lifelook like?
Why self-talk is so important in developing an awareness of food?
Why not eat with gusto and relish every bite?
What other life or behavioral changes will I need to make?
