Best Loser:

Marcia D.

Wise: Drink you water

Unwise: Snacking

Program tonight:
Do something today which you will thank yourself for tomorrow. An example of this is to perhaps plan for a vacation for a future date and start a saving fund now to make that vacation a reality. As applied to weight loss, we can adjust some items in our diet to reduce our calorie intake for a long term result. An example would be to consume a lower calorie breakfast such as oatmeal from the higher calorie bacon and eggs. Small changes can result greater weight loss over a period of time.

Best Loser:

Carol D.


Wise: Focusing on her goals -Walking and keeping a food diary

Unwise: Food tasting

Tonight we practiced some meditation exercises to create a calmer environment. Sometimes the chaos of the day or week can lead to binge eating or higher calorie snack consumption. A quiet atmosphere can allow us to make more rational decisions regarding our eating.

   Best Loser

   Sandy P.

   Wise: Portion Control

    Unwise: Cookies



    Tonight Sandy brought in her vision board.  She made this as an exercise to  keep in touch with herself.  This is an exercise where a member might cut out articles, pictures, and/or sayings that he/she feels relates to him/her.  Not all the entrants on the board are food related. Some are, since Sandy is a dedicated TOPS member. There were several funny sayings reflecting her sense of humor and some serious sayings which she felt applied to her.  She suggested that this might be a good tool for all.
