Stinkin Thinkin


A few years back I was lucky enough to meet a woman named Monica. She was my leader at Weight Watchers. Her energy level was through the roof. Her dedication and optimism were contagious. When I walked out of those meetings I felt like I could conquer the world.

Here are 3 things I learned from her that I will never forget as long as I live.

"Stinkin thinkin" are thoughts of quitting or failing. They can cause overeating too.

"You Bite It, You Write it" is just what it says. If you eat it you have to record it. Even on days when you eat too much. This helps us to see and change any bad habits we have.

" BLT's" Are bites, licks and tastes. These are the forgotten calories. They sneak up on us when we are not paying attention. They add up quickly if you aren't careful to avoid them.

Those meetings helped me to lose 25 lbs at the time. Even though Monica has moved on I still have the things she taught me. I will never forget them or her as long as I live.

** Ever Forward **
