Good morning....Yesterday I had a patient tell me a helpful hint that has allowed her to be more successful in her weight loss efforts. This patient told me that she purposefully wears toght clothes that are somewhat uncomfortable as a daily reminder as to one of the major reasons that she wants to lose weight. She went on to explain that in previous years when she would gain weight, she would put on clothes that accomodated to her incresing size and girth. When she entered our program , she decided to not do this but rather wear some clothes that were snug. This was a great motivator for her to very diligent in her weight loss efforts. As she has been losing weight, the clothes are obviously fitting much better and she is not feeling uncomfortable in the clothes anymore. She now has taken out the clothes that are a smaller size but are snug, and wears them as a motivator to keep going in her efforts.
Tonight is Ellen's poetry book signing party with all proceeds going to Hospice in honor of her mother, Arlene, who succumbed to pancreatic cancer. Hospice is a great organization that has helped so many people confront terminal cancer in a dignified, compassionate manner. Pancreatic cancer, similar to breast and colon cancer, has been linked to obesity. Premature death from cancer and heart disease could be avoided by keeping weight under good control.
Get out and exercise today!!!!
