How to use your strengths to stay on track |
|
Identify a strength. Fill in the blanks.
• I feel like my best self when I___________.
• I'd never change __________ about myself.
•_________________ comes naturally.
Name an attribute that most closely relates to your answer. A few examples: thoughtful, focused, clever, open-minded, loving, spiritual, hopeful, grateful, strong, brave, zestful, determined.
|
|
Picture times
you've used this strength.
Think ... it may have been a while - or as recent as this morning. Once you have it in your mind, connect to it and realize its impact. Visualize what you were doing, how good it felt, and the outcome.
|
|
Write an affirmation
to remind you of your strength.
It can be simple, like "I am spiritual" or "I have always had an open mind." Or whatever strength you connected to.
My affirmation is ______________________.
|
|
Deploy your affirmation–
and your strength's power.
Say your affirmation every morning to set the tone for the day. Especially when faced with a challenge, or whenever you need a pep talk, this exercise enforces your strengths! They're there waiting to be used!
|
|
1. Recognizing and leveraging our personal strengths inherently feels good to us—it's positively reinforcing!
2. When we recognize and remind ourselves of our strengths, it can increase our self-efficacy (i.e. our confidence in our ability to accomplish something or develop a new skill).
3. Intentionally using one of the strengths that come most naturally to us can increase our happiness for the longer term. And, research shows that happier people make healthier choices.

This week's letter from DebW

Hello WW Philadelphia Members!
Many of you have expressed having feelings of being out of control regarding food. Be assured it is completely understandable. We're still continuing our adjustment to our "new normal" from 2020, then add to that everything else going on in the world, it can be hard to mentally digest at any time.
Throw in a couple of personal, work, or family challenges and I want to eat a dump truck full of potato chips with something chocolate as a chaser.
One of the things I’ve learned along my Weight Watchers way is to recognize and use my strengths. One of those being, that I AM A MORNING PERSON. Which means I get up and get going early. I make my lunch, get ready for work and drive into the office. I aim at having everything that needs undivided attention done during the morning hours and then multitask through the afternoon with anything and everything that comes in new.
Being a morning person means I eat breakfast early and I need my lunch between 11:30 and 12 PM. Bringing my lunch from home takes the ‘what’s for lunch’ decision out of the equation and ensures I have two meals in for the day which are completely in my control. Leaving me more flexibility for dinner or snacks.
I wouldn’t call myself a good meal prepper, but I do like to make something each weekend and put a couple of servings of it in the freezer. Then I don’t need to think about dinner meals. One of my favorites is making little spaghetti squash casseroles with a low POINT red sauce. Extra yummy by adding chicken Italian sausage to them. If you have a Sprouts™ near you, their chicken Italian sausage is delicious.
Another one I like is sheet pan meatloaf using half lean ground beef and half lean ground turkey breast. The secret is making it very savory with onions, green or red bell pepper, beef bouillon, and generous seasoning. I use only ¼ cup of breadcrumbs to keep the POINTS low. I press the mixture onto a sheet pan about ¾ of an inch thick. It bakes in about 25 minutes instead of the usual hour for meatloaf and can be portioned so easily. I freeze a portion or two of this for meatloaf sandwiches when I’m too tired to do anything else for dinner. Try adjusting your favorite meatloaf recipe in this way and see what you think.
There, I just slipped in two more recipes for you to enjoy! Check out the six our WWPHL Team came up with for you!
There are great things happening at Weight Watchers. Members are losing weight, getting to goal weights, or back to their goal weights. We have sent out many certificates of accomplishments this year for Members who have lost 75, 100, 125, and more pounds in workshops. I cannot tell you how proud I am of you for maintaining your goal weights and moving into healthier lifestyles.
Have a great week and stay well,

WW 4 Pillars to your happy life – key to the plan! |
|
Food. Activity. Mindset. Sleep.
The WW 4 Pillar approach to weight loss has proven that while each of these components of our life is important on its own--eating healthy food, fitting activity into our lifestyle, having a good mindset, and getting a restful night's sleep, the combined power when all four work together is undeniable.

*Like Mexican cuisine?
Shredded chicken, turkey taco, or roasted flounder recipes work in a variety of Mexican dishes like soft tacos, quesadillas, lettuce wraps, or Mexican bowls with roasted veggies and beans. Just top with salsa.
*Love Italian?
Meatballs taste amazing on their own, but it's easy to turn them into a balanced meal. Try tossing them with pasta or zoodles, serving them on two-ingredient dough rolls, or spooning them over cauliflower rice. Add a little tomato sauce and sprinkle of Parmesan, and you're good to go.
*Looking for a whole meal in a bowl?
Salmon, pork, or chicken can serve as a satisfying protein in make-your-own grain bowls. Cook and refrigerate all the ingredients you'll want to use for your bowls on the weekend so you can quickly build your bowls during the week. Alternatively, serve these proteins over mixed greens with roasted veggies and potatoes or in lettuce wraps.
