Three fast facts
we'll discuss in this
week's Workshops

1. Research shows that the most successful dietary approach for weight loss is one you can stick to.

2. When people restrict certain foods, they’re more likely to experience food cravings and to eat those craved foods. This is why a sustainable pattern of eating incorporates all the foods you love.

3. A sustainable eating pattern provides flexibility for social situations and special events.
How to find
an eating pattern
that'll stick!

The magic equation for eating "perfectly" ... is? It doesn't exist.
But figuring out a healthier pattern of eating you can stick with ...is? It does exist. And it's all about so many factors that matter to you.

Try This!
• I eat things I like: Yes👍🏻 No👎🏻
• Everything is on the menu: Yes👍🏻 No👎🏻
• I'm able to eat my favorite foods: Yes👍🏻 No👎🏻
• I'm able to stick to my weight loss and wellness goals: Yes👍🏻 No👎🏻
• I can be social and go to events: Yes👍🏻 No👎🏻
• I'm able to eat the same as my partner, kids, and friends: Yes👍🏻 No👎🏻
• It's easy to find what I eat at my local store: Yes👍🏻 No👎🏻

If you answered mainly Yes and think this is likely a way of eating you can stick to...great!

Next Step: Identity what you need to do to stay on track next week.

If you answered mainly No and aren't sure if the way you're eating now is something you can do for the long run, that's OK, too...ask your Coach for help brainstorming what you can do to turn that No into a Yes.


Let's dive a little deeper ... This week in your WW Workshop.
We're all about being real. And that means creating and keeping up a healthier pattern of eating that works for you. The more you practice that way of eating, the more likely it will become a regular part of your life.

And remember, it's a journey. Don't feel pressured to have everything down on your first-go-round. Begin with one small step at a time (like leaning on ZeroPoint™ foods or planning ahead for special occasions) until your momentum moves you forward to a lifestyle of eating that's healthy, enjoyable, and more important, doable!

We’ve all tried other weight-loss programs before that haven’t worked. WW is proven to be different. WW members lost weight and kept it off, even two years later and more, according to a study published by the medical journal Lancet.*

This week's message from DebW
Voice and General Manager, WW Philadelphia
March 24, 2022
Hello WW Philadelphia Members!

The REAL us happens when we open our hearts and minds during the journey of weight loss, there is so much to learn. The learnings are far beyond the practical information of portion sizes, fat content, and PersonalPoints values. We have an opportunity, no matter our chronological age, to learn things about ourselves that were always there but not at the forefront.

Most of the realness comes about because we take a chance on showing ourselves a different kind of self-care (love) that we didn’t allow ourselves to indulge in before.

When I was losing the 94 pounds, WW costs were $10 per week. My weekly household budget for this stay-at-home Mom was $80. Everything had to fit into that budget, school lunch, groceries, gas, and any other necessities, needs, or wants. I was always out of money at the end of the week until I started WW. It was kind of weird. Spending another $10 a week meant that I had $15ish remaining on Saturday. Remember those trips through the drive-through window I mentioned in another newsletter? Those trips through the window pretending to feed a family of four (the kids were in school) were the first thing to go when I joined WW.

The changes I made in shopping and the kinds of foods I choose to eat and feed the kids during the week while the husband worked out of town, changed completely. More veggies and fruits and less processed chips and junk. Again, another group of items that really chews into the food budget. My self-care allowed me to purchase Rainer cherries or artichokes if I wanted them, and I could afford a new book, an exercise class, or a magazine.

Sometimes Members wonder if they are being selfish by focusing a little more on themselves while losing weight. Is the monetary and time investment really worth it? My answer is always a resounding YES because you cannot take care of the others you love in your life at the level they need and deserve if you are not taking care of YOU. Using the WW plan made me stronger and better, both mentally and physically.

I cannot tell you how many times I have heard some version of this statement from Members, “Because I am conquering my weight, I stepped out of my comfort zone and I’m so proud of my accomplishment that led to ______________.”

The professional and personal goals that are out there just out of your reach seem to be a little closer. You find a voice to advocate for others who need you, you have kindness and love to share because you filled your own bucket first. The world around us really does change because we become part of the change and it starts because we change ourselves and become the real us.

So, what is my recommended self-care today? It is new underwear. So many times, while losing weight, Members spend little or no money on clothes that fit, and the only thing worse than underwear that is too tight is underwear that is too loose. Buy underwear that fit.😉

Have a great week.
