Week #11: Nix Negative Thoughts

I feel like 30 minutes in a Weight Watchers meeting room isn't nearly long enough to get into how devastating negative thoughts can be to one's weight loss process. And it certainly isn't long enough to figure out how to get rid of those thoughts and replace them with positive ones!

What I can do is share with you some of the things I do to stay positive. Generally I'm a sarcastic, cynical person who is not prone to outbursts of rainbows and unicorns. I wouldn't say I'm a pessimist, but I'm certainly more of a realist. So it's important that I remember to be thankful, grateful, and proud of all I have achieved.

I collect inspiring quotes and images on Pinterest (By the way, some of those pins have profanity on them - don't say I didn't warn you! Also, yes I do have a board named Food Porn. Better I look at it than eat it, right?)

I remember how far I've come. This is me before:

And this is me after:

And probably the most important thing I do to stay positive? Work for Weight Watchers. Seriously - what's better than helping people achieve a similar goal? In my experience, not much. That's why I've been doing it for almost fifteen years! Thanks for being part of my journey.
