Three Fast Facts

We'll attack in this week's Workshops

1 Friction is what makes a behavior less likely to happen.

2 Fuel is what makes it easier to fulfill a behavior.

3 We have a tendency to take the path of least resistance.

How To Make Healthy Choices Easier

See that easy path over there? The one of least resistance? It’s not an overstatement to say most of us will choose it first. The easier the choice the more likely we are to do it.

But what if the easier choice isn’t the best choice?

Try This!

Unwanted behavior: Laying in bed, doom scrolling on your phone.

Wanted behavior: Reading the book you've been wanting to start forever that's,

been sitting on your nightstand for as long! Plug your phone in across the room -there's your friction. See, if you're reading and you get a notification, TicToc alert, etc, you'll be more inclined to see that as a bother and you'll keep reading! We're talking about bedtime routines here but this technique can apply to any time!

Let’s dive a little deeper ... Why does it work?

Friction makes the behavior you don’t want to do (be consumed by TikTok,Twitter, Instagrams and so many more) harder because it now requires more energy. Suddenly that behavior you want to do (getting back into that book you're finally enjoying) looks way more appealing—and soon that healthier choice will become your go-to choice.

Friction is NOT Stress

As we are discussing friction at WW--keep in mind friction is not stress and one has nothing to do with the other. Friction is a tool we are using to make a positive change in our lives. It is a choice--a healthy one at that!

Ready to try? Let's think about it and share at our Workshop!

Choose a behavior you want to stop.
Pinpoint how your environment is making that behavior easier.
Brainstorm a way to make friction help you ditch the bad habit.

Working in your favor

PersonalPoints is Not a ~~Diet~~ 🤭

We just can't say that enough...A diet can be difficult. Everyone has moments of temptation. Going it alone, you may feel disheartened. And that's that! Bring on the chips! Diet = No chips. Eat the chips, you're off the diet and there goes the bag! You're back to square one.

At WW you can have your chips -- plan for them in your day -- and enjoy a guilt-free treat!

A temptation that's not included in your plan--this is where a little friction comes to your aid! So, move your temptations to a hard to get to place; a cabinet that may be too high to reach or in a room upstairs requiring you to climb the steps to get to them...that equals friction! That doesn't mean you can't have them, if you didn't plan for them, friction just makes them a little less convenient than having them within easy reach! And that gives you more time to think about whether you really want them!

Having people in your corner -- your Coaches, Guides and Members who have been, or are where you are now, to offer encouragement is simply awesome. But...you have to make the move to start.

Friction? Yep...helps bunches here!

It's Easier to put off coming back and taking no action until ... when was that perfect day you planned to start?

There is no magic day and there's simply no better way to start...than to start.

This Week's Message from DebW

Voice and General Manager, WW Philadelphia

March 9, 2022

Some days are hard.

No matter if you are reading this on the day it was delivered or a few days later, maybe today was hard for you.

I’m a morning person as some of you have discovered. I am quick to respond to emails well before 6 AM. I am awake, active, and had coffee hours prior. Being a morning person means that I’m happy and ready to go early. Being a morning person today means my heart already hurts for all those who are hurting out there. In today’s world, our access to instant information can be a catalyst for dragging us down before we even get started on today’s living.

For this human traveling through life, the maturation process has brought me empathy. Having empathy makes me a better human than the one I was in my 20s. I would not be good at this job without this much-needed empathy. Let’s not talk about the kind of person I was in my 20s.

Like many of you, I lost a good number of pounds using the WW program. My best streak was a 94-pound loss at which time I was invited to come to work for WW-Weight Watchers. I was excited to help others lose weight LIKE ME. The part I didn’t understand at that moment is everyone loses weight LIKE THEMSELVES and not LIKE ME.

Sometimes, Members need to take “time out” from WW even if it means going to another weight loss product. I know WW is the best, you’ll be back, and we’ll be here ready to help. The workshops are the secret sauce and continue to be what makes WW – Weight Watchers really different. It’s 30-45 minutes with no outside world news. It’s a moment to not think about our crazy world and focus on you and your needs.

The one person I wasn’t emphatic with was me. I thought I was unique in my weight gain; I knew the simple reason for my weight gain was TOO MUCH TO EAT. One day while leading a workshop, I talked about the “last supper,” not the religious experience but the MEAL I would eat the day before I would start a diet. I said, “I had eaten a HUGE bag of M&M’s the night before joining.” I thought this was my dirty little secret, but I saw heads nodding in acknowledgment all over the room. Even after conquering those 94 pounds, that acknowledgment from the Members in not being alone in my goofy destructive joining ritual.

Getting healthier by controlling your weight is something you do for yourself, it’s about taking care of yourself. Self-care will make you a better spouse, significant other, parent, employee, employer, friend, child, and sibling.

Did you know a single milk chocolate M&M has 4.375 calories?

Fondly,
