GLOW, SO YOU CAN SHINEYou don't have to be psychic to determine the thought process behind someone’s actions. A lot of times you can tell why someoneaccomplished something just by focusing in on their general demeanor. I have always advocated that attitude is the key to success. Ifyou wake up in the morning and say "today is going to be a bad day," believe me, it will be. The opposite holds true, too. Whateverthe mind expects, it finds!

I remember a song from a few years back. One line, in particular, stands out, “You’ll never shine if you don’t glow.” It resonated andhas stuck with me. I truly believe attitude affects everything in life, including weight-management, and all of us could move mountains(and take off pounds) just by embracing an upbeat mindset. Of course, everyone has days when they feel sad, bluesy or less moti-vated than usual. It's just a part of life. What we can't do is allow those emotions to cast a shadow over our lives in general. If we do,the negativity will completely rob us of our overall initiative and destroy our discipline.

The easiest way to develop and keep a glowing attitude is to remain continually grateful for all the good things in life. Everyday, we use a food journal to keep track of what we are putting into our body, so why not keep track of all the things we're thankful for? Just sit down at your computer or grab a pen and paper at the end of each day. Ask yourself six simple words: “What am I grateful for today?" Answers will fall into place like a game of dominos. For starters, you have your good health and you have love... from your family, friends and, of course, me! You can read, you have music, you have a great pair of boots to wear, funny neighbors and you are living a healthy life.

When you keep track of all the good in your life on a daily basis, you will exude positivity. You'll shine inside and out. A gratitude mentality will help keep you healthier, happier and more successful. And those will be three more things you can add to your gratitude list!

Feature

Take a day offSometimes we all need a breather, and a day off from workprovides just that. Use a personal day or vacation day, ifnecessary. Take 8 hours and forget the errands, cleaning thehouse and responding to emails. Hire a babysitter or takethe kids to day camp, if need be. Sleep in a little later, devote time to a hobby, treat yourself to a massage, read,download, listen and dance to new music or take a walk atyour own pace. If there is no way you can call off from yourjob (and we mean absolutely no way), give yourself a Satur-day or Sunday and dedicate the entire day to one person, y-o-u. Everyone needs balance in their life. You'll return towork, and reality, feeling vibrant and positively remarkable.

Have a girl’s nightWe’re all guilty of letting our busy schedules supersede oursocial lives so plan a get-together night with your girlfriends. Plan to meet somewhere that is conducive to reconnecting. Go to a trendy restaurant for a healthy dinner,enjoy a glass of vino at a casual wine bar and just sit aroundat home, catching up and laughing. No TV, movies, concertsor plays! The focal point should be on you and your friends.

Feeling Bluesy?

GiveThe #1 way to perk yourself up is to give something of yourself to someone else in need. If you don't have moneyto spare, donate your time by volunteering for a cause youreally believe in. Pressed for time, as well as for cash? Well,don't let that stop you from reaching out. Pack a bag ofclothes you (or your family members) no longer wear andtake it to a non-profit drop box or domestic violence safehouse. Go through your pantry and box-up non-perishablefoods and take it to a food bank. Plate a dinner for some-one close-by who is elderly, laid-up or laid-off. Giving, gen-erosity and helping others is a strong elixir to conquering the blues.

Change it upRegardless of whether it’s day or night, wear something different from what you’re used to wearing. Ditch thesweats and over-sized t-shirt and put them into hiatus. Dawn bright colors, flash a new accessory or slip on a pair of fun shoes. Try a different hairstyle or even hair color. Be a “quick change artist” and play up your assets. You'll beginto radiate from the outside, in!

Achieve a goalWe all know that nothing feels more incredibly remarkablethan achieving an accomplishment that you deliberately set out to do. You don’t need to complete a triathlon orscale Mt. Everest; just accomplish something you’ve been putting off. Organizing a cluttered space, completing an exercise goal, planning out your meals for the week or fi-nally making a trip to the recycling center to drop off thatstack of magazines and newspapers that have been pilingup since who-knows-when, are all rewarding tasks that youcan get to — and through. Be realistic about your expectations, and go get ‘em!

SUCCESSIt was only two years ago that Maria Warren weighed almost300 pounds. Because of her weight, she had trouble enjoyingsome of her favorite activities. She loves sports, especially theDetroit Tigers, but going to baseball games was quite a challenge. First, there was always a battle fitting into her seat,and the embarrassment that accompanied it. But before evenmaking her way into the ballpark, she had to go through the turnstiles—an experience that left bruises on Maria’s legs.

When Maria went to a game about a year later, and 80 poundslighter, it was a whole new, enthralling experience.

"I remember walking up to the gate with my heart racing andpalms sweating," says Maria. This time, though, she easily madeit through the turnstile. No struggles. No black-and-blue marks.For Maria, this was a powerful indication of just how far she hadcome.

Another way to measure success is the scale—which now reads145.6 for Maria. That’s a 151-pound loss!

Maria is an inspiration for her boss, doctor, and fellow meetingmembers.

Motivated to lose weight for herself and her health, Maria reallymade it a point to understand the program. She learned a lotabout food and good nutrition. What stands out for her aboutWeight Watchers is that it was the Program that taught her thatfood is a choice. The restrictive ways of other weight loss pro-grams failed for Maria, but WeightWatchers broke that mold for her.

Despite her phenomenal weightloss to-date, she knows that thisisn’t the end of her Weight Watchers relationship. She wouldlike to become a leader after shereaches her goal.

Her ongoing success is written inher determination. She explains, “Iwill constantly challenge myselfwith new workouts, recipes, and products.”

Success Story

Most of us, at one point or anotherin life, come to the realization thatwe aren't the same person we usedto be. Donald Doiron came to thissame conclusion more than once inhis life.

Before joining Weight Watchers,Donald was settling into retire-

ment. It wasn't all he had anticipated. Formerly an active policeofficer, he found himself relying on a cane or motorized cart toget around. At 396 pounds, walking without help was just tootough. As his health began to fail him in other ways, he realizedhe had to try to reverse the trend. The weight had to come off.He considered surgery but joined Weight Watchers—in his 5Xshirt and 60"—pants figuring he'd give it a try before undergoing the knife.

Not long after becoming a member, Donald suffered a stroke.After recovering, he refused to accept that it was too late totake responsibility for his health. He wanted to avoid any otherimplications associated with being overweight and really com-mitted himself 100% to the Program. Thanks to the support ofhis wife, leader, and other members, combined with his ambition and efforts, Donald is well onhis way. He has already lost a remarkable126.8 pounds.

During this process Donald is learninghow to take better control of his health.He currently has about 65 more poundsto lose before reaching his goal weight.He's nowhere near the man he used tobe, because now it takes two people tofit into his old pants. When friends ask,"Is it really you?", Donald can honestlyanswer, "Yes. The new me."

You can spend mega-bucks talking out your problems to a psychologist or years attempting to balance your chi. If youaren't paying attention to what your life is speaking though, youmay be wasting your time when it comes to being happy withthe direction your life is taking.

“Just about all chronic stress can be traced back to actions orlifestyles that are out of alignment with our values,” says IshaCogborn, certified Life Coach and Founder of Epiphany Institute(EpiphanyInstitute.com).

“If you feel disenchanted in any area of your life, the quickest solution is to identify the source of the conflict with your values,and fix it," Cogburn advises.

Cogborn, a Weight Watchers member, revamped her life after atough economy eliminated her corporate position. It was onlythen that she really began to pay attention to the true directionshe wanted to take with a new career. By taking the time to really ponder where her life had taken her so far, she came tothe realization that her true purpose and passion was to help motivate, equip and inspire others to find their direction in life. In essence, downsizing ended up supersizing her life, as well asthe lives of others.

“Everyday, your life speaks to you and tells you exactly whereyou should be going. Are you listening? Whether you are tryingto lose weight or searching for a career you feel passionateabout, tune into what you've learned from past experiences andlet it guide you," says Cogborn.

Florine Mark, President and CEO of The WW Group, Inc., concurs. “There is the type of education we get in school andthere are life lessons we learn along the way. Both are important. Life is fast. Life is wonderful. To make it even morefulfilling, we have to listen and gain some sort of wisdom from it to put to use in the present," says Mark.

Cogborn shares with readers what she has learned:

ON PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITYIt’s easy to play the victim, but a key to success is to recognize how much power we have over our own circumstances. The quality of our lives is nothing more than a collection of the decisions we make. Do you choose fear or will you apply for the job? Will you wallow in the hurt of past relationships or will you go on that date? Do you chooseto pass down the negative habits and biases you learned fromyour parents, or will you raise your children differently? No matter how bad our circumstances may seem, we can alwayschoose how to respond. When we take responsibility for ourown actions and our own lives, we take back our power.

ON LIVING IN THE MOMENTWith technology pushing us to frantic paces, we’re hardly ableto focus on one thing at a time. How often have you been guiltyof checking email or sending text messages when you shouldbe giving someone your undivided attention? Our work hours

My Daily Reminders

• Your Happiness=Your Responsibility.

• Don't sweat the small stuff, and most of it is small

stuff.

• Life is unpredictable; Worrying won’t change that.

• Character counts.

• Forgive yourself, your friends and your enemies.

• Laugh a lot; cry a little.

• Exercise, eat well, get some fresh air. It’s good for you.

• Persistence will eventually get you almost anything.

• It's okay to fail. If you don’t fail you won’t value a win.

• Learn from the mistakes of others.

• Love More. No Hate.

Your Life is Talking. Are you Paying Attention?

Developing the ability to recognize the signals in your own life can be broken into three simple steps:• Take Responsibility forYour Life.

• Live in the Moment • Follow Your Intuition

Page 11: Weight Watchers THINLINE: Fall 2010 Michigan

may be nine to five, but we check the phone 24/7. It’s also easyto get so bogged down in the past or concerned with whatcould possibly happen in the future that we can’t enjoy the present. When we make peace with the past and leave the wor-ries of tomorrow for tomorrow, we’re able to see and take fulladvantage of the opportunities and joys of life that exist rightnow.

IMPORTANCE OF FOLLOWING INTUITIONI tell my coaching clients all the time that they are the expertson their own lives. Listening to our intuition or that inner voicethat attempts to direct our path keeps us safe and keeps ushonest about who we truly are and what we truly want.

Don’t Sweat It!

Feel Good!

Love!

Exercise!

Laugh!

Eat 20 Percent Less By Keeping TheServing Dishes Off The Table

Can eating less be as simple as leaving serving dishes on thestove and off the table? According to a team of researchersfrom Cornell University, it can.

Researchers led by Brian Wansink, director of the CornellFood and Brand Lab, share their findings of their "Serve Here;Eat There" study of 78 adults.

"We looked at whether serving foods from the kitchencounter, instead of at the table, would reduce the number oftimes a person refilled his or her plate," Wansink said.

"Quite simply, it is a case of 'out of sight, out of mind,'" hecontinued. "When we kept the serving dishes off the table,people ate 20% fewer calories. Men ate close to 29% less."

The same strategy can be used to help increase the consumption of healthier foods, Wansink explained.

"If fruits and vegetables are kept in plain sight, we'll be muchmore likely to choose them, rather than a piece of cake hidden in the refrigerator," he said.

Dining environment, plate and portion size, and other hiddencues that determine what, when and how much we eat arefamiliar topics in Wansink's work. He is the author of “Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think.”

Hey, Is That Your Stomach Growling or Your Mind?If you're one of the millions of people trying to get to a healthierweight, you know all-too-well just how powerful a force appetitecan be.

As humans, we're different from any other animal. We eat not onlyto satisfy our physiological (body) hunger, but we also have the desire to feed our psychological hunger (mind). If we only ate toavoid the symptoms of true physical hunger, the obesity rate inNorth America would plummet.

“There are basically two types of hunger pangs,” said FlorineMark, president and CEO of The WW Group, Inc. “There's physi-cal hunger that comes about when we haven't eaten for hours. It'swhen our body lets us know that we really waited too long in providing it with nutrients. Our stomach growls and rumbles, webecome irritable, maybe even get a headache. Many of us evenfeel dizzy, weak and nauseated. On the other end of the spectrumis emotional hunger, which can strike even if our body is satiated.This type of hunger is driven by our senses and feelings. It can playgames with our weight-management goals unless we accept thefact that it's originating from our mind."

According to Doreen Virtue, PhD and authorof “The Yo-Yo Diet Syndrome” (1997; HayHouse, Inc. ), there are 16 feelings thatemotional eaters most often confusewith actual physical hunger. They are:anger, fatigue, depression, loneliness,insecurity/inadequacy, guilt, jealousy, happiness, anxiety/nervousness, disappointment/hurt, emptiness, grief, procrastination, fear, boredomand embarrassment.

When we connect foodwith these feelings, and thetwo becoming intertwined,we run into problems.After feeding emotionalhunger, the feelings thatled us to turn to food inthe first place inevitably return, with a partner—guilt. This guilt, on top of everything else we’re experiencing, can cause usto keep overeating. It be-comes a vicious cycle.

Mayo Clinic Women's “HealthSource” offers these suggestions tounderstand and overcome emotional eating:

• Learn to recognize true hunger: A craving for chips or cookiessoon after a meal is emotional hunger, not real hunger.

• Identify the food triggers: Keeping a journal can help identifypatterns in emotional eating, including emotions and feelings when eating, what and how much was eaten; and feelings after eating.

• Look elsewhere for comfort: Instead of grabbing a candy bar,take a walk, call a friend, listen to music, read or treat yourselfto a movie.

• Manage stress in a healthy way: The goal is to lower stress withhealthful strategies, including regular exercise, adequate restand support from friends and family.

• Practice mindful eating: Mindfulness is a way of paying focused attentionwithout judgment. Applied toeating, this technique canhelp increase awareness ofthe sensations, feelings andthoughts connected withfood and eating.

• Toss out the unhealthy foods:Avoid stocking the cupboardor refrigerator with high-calorie foods. Considerhealthy foods: a bowl of soupor a cup of tea.

• Eat a balanced diet andhealthy snacks: Betweenmeals, opt for low-fat, low-calorie snacks such as freshfruit or unbuttered popcorn.

Kari Roehl had the urge to lose weight since high school, but,like many of us, had a hard time translating that urge into success.

In 2002, Kari was involved in a car accident that resulted in nu-merous ankle surgeries. These injuries, along with a steady in-crease in other health problems, prompted Kari’s doctor tosuggest Weight Watchers as a way to improve her health andlower her weight from the 243 pounds she was carrying at thetime.

“And so, my new life began,” says Kari.

That was back in April 2006. Starting with her very first WeightWatchers meeting, she felt an immediate connection to herLeader and made it a priority to attend weekly meetings andlive the Program. After losing her first twenty pounds, Kari feltlike she was on Cloud 9.

“Man, did I feel great,” she says.

Following the Program didn’t come without difficulty, especiallyconsidering her ankle injuries, but week after week, and with ahigh-level of determination, the pounds dropped. With thehelp of her physical therapist, Kari kept up a workout routine

that included swimming and biking. She chose exercises thatsuited her rather than to use her health problems as an excusenot to exercise. She even rewarded her weight losses by investing in workout equipment

Eating well and exercising worked wonders. By March 2007,Kari weighed in at 193 pounds.

Fifty pounds down, she noticed that people really began to seethe change in her appearance and it really helped to keep heron track. In July of 2008, she reachedher Lifetime goal. Today, she is 98.2pounds lighter from the day shestarted Weight Watchers and feelingbetter than she ever has in her life.

Kari says that Weight Watchers willbe a part of her life forever. She at-tends meetings (at no charge nowthat she's a Lifetime member) andworks as a receptionist for WeightWatchers, “helping others to achieve their goals, too!”

Q. My husband is a junk food addict. I used to be hispartner in this crime, but since I've made the commitment to eat better, his constant snacking is driving me off the deep-end. It seems I'm always fight-ing off the temptation to tear the bag of chips out ofhis hands and finish them off. I don't think “irreconcil-able eating differences” is legal grounds for divorce, sowhat do I do?

A. Living with someone who has no interest in eating healthy,when it's a top priority for you, definitely poses a challenge, butnot an unconquerable one. What you need to do is divorceyourself as completely as you can from your relationship withunhealthy foods. Just because you tied the knot doesn't meanyou have to break your other commitment to living a healthierlifestyle. It simply comes down to the fact the he's making hischoices and you're making yours. You're both aware of “causeand effect” and one half of your relationship, namely you, ismore focused on the effects your choices bring about. Maybehe'll come around in the future; maybe he won't. What I usuallysee, though, is that partners and family of Weight Watchersmembers eventually do follow suit and begin to make healthierchoices, too.

Until he comes around, as he's noshing on pizza and woofingdown M & M's, instead of drooling and glaring, stay focused onthe many positive effects your commitment to eating wellbrings about. If you concentrate on this aspect alone, you'll bementally rattling off all the good that comes out of staying trueto your healthy, beautiful self long after he crinkles up theempty candy wrapper. Let's face it: You know how good youfeel when you stay on track. You know how good you look, too.You probably also remember how godawful you felt about your-self before you took control of your eating habits? You don'twant to ever go back there.

For those nights when you really feel like you're going to lose itand you just have candy or some party mix, remember that verylittle in life is “all or nothing.” You can always choose to havehigher POINTS® value snacks; just plan for these snacks, portion yourself out and most importantly, keep track of thePOINTS® value eaten. You won't want to make eating un-healthy foods a part of your daily routine though, so alwaysmake it a point to be the one (solo or with your partner in tow)to go grocery shopping so that you always have healthier foodoptions in the house.

Q. I live alone and I don’t have a lot of money. I reallylove to eat fruit, but it is hard to eat it all before itgoes bad. I hate throwing money in the trash andthat's exactly what I feel I'm doing. Canned fruit is usually cheaper, but is it an okay choice?

A. As far as taste, texture and nutritional value go, you mostlyalways get more bang for your buck by eating freshly picked

fruit. At the same time, few people realize that canned and evenfrozen fruit can sometimes actually provide more nutrients thanstore-bought fruit and here's why:

Canned and frozen fruit is usually processed immediately afterthe fruit is harvested, so that when you do enjoy it, it retains asmany nutrients as it did when it was first canned or frozen. Freshfruit, on the other hand, has to undergo the shipping process. Itsits in the truck as it makes its way to the store and then it sits inthe produce section until it's purchased. Additionally, it then sitsin your refrigerator until you actually eat it. That's a lot of sittingand time takes a toll on it in terms of nutrient-loss and freshness.So, if I'm in the mood for fresh fruit (and I always am!), I make it apoint to shop for it at a local farmer's market or scout out the“locally grown” section at the grocery store because I know theshipping time has been greatly reduced.

When I do buy canned or frozen fruit, there is one main guideline I follow: I try to choose only those packed in its ownjuice or water. I don't want additional syrup (even if it's listed aslight syrup) or sugars. I don't like the fake taste nor the additional calories.
