Debbie's Weekly "Food for Thought" 11/13/23 - Food Decisions!

 It's Monday again, and boy is this month moving along fast, we are already near the halfway point, and Thanksgiving is next week!!!  Are you ready? 


We all know that we need to prepare for the unexpected, and Holiday's always bring a lot of "The unexpected" with them, and we have been boosting your toolkit this month with techniques to help you feel in control and see success.

Success is not just seeing that number go down, it is so much more than that.

This time of the year it is really important we focus on the N.S.V's (Non Scale Victories), these are the magical fibers that keep us connected, and you should be High Fiving yourself for every single one.

Did you say "No" to a second serving?

Did you drink your water today?

Did you go for that walk, when you really wanted to sit?

Did you track regardless of what you tracked?

Did you prep meals this week?

Did you get more sleep?

Did your pants zip up easier?

These are just a few of the hundreds of NSV's we see on a daily basis, and they keep us going especially when the scale slows down, or maybe we have put the scale on hold for right now.

This past week we talked about having a "Scale Action Plan", we brainstormed what we can do before, during and after stepping on the scale. which allows us to craft a personal scale action plan that includes when (and how often) we’ll weigh ourselves, and what we’ll do before, during, and after we step on the scale.  

For me weighing frequently during the week, keeps me checked in with my reality, and allows me to pivot when I need to and stay the course when it gets bumpy.  It has also helped me understand that fluctuations are normal.  

This week we will be preparing for making tricky food & drink decisions on the fly, and like you being aware and having a plan helps me switch off the auto pilot, and be in control of my decisions.  This does not mean we can't enjoy our favorite pie, or drink, it gives us a conscious space to be in control of our decision, and that is the biggest NSV of the moment.

Do check out the technique on your WW app, go to Menu and then the discover Content page.

This week try to spend more time on your WW app, check out some of the great changes, my favorite right now is the What to Eat screen, and did you know you can tap the picture and it will take you direct to track the food, how awesome is that, and so much easier to use.

Tracking can be fun too, did you know that if you added a food emoji when you search for a food, it will automatically find it for you, give it a try! 🥑🥗🥕🍕🍦

See you all at the workshops, together we can all do this.

Remember: Progress NOT Perfection!

Much love as always
