As if the snow is not enough of a challenge to stay on track in your efforts to be healthier and happier by losing weight, we have the Superbowl (Superbore usually) to provide a great opportunity for hurting your efforts. The food sources that usually accompany a persons Suiperbowl party will include a virtual "All You Can Eat" array of chips, nuts, carbohydrate choices and of course, the open bar.
If you are hosting a gathering, PLEASE have available LOTS of choices for people who are trying to keep weight under control. If you are going to someones house, bring as a gift some food source compatible with your efforts to lose weight. I guarantee you that there will be other people there who have a weight problem who would benefit from your healthy dish as opposed to the other array of items available. It is not fair, but it is true that one day of indulgence can wipe out the 6 days of great work you have done. Do not fall into this trap.
Oh, Posner Prediction: Indy 31, New Orleans 24

Superbowl....Penalty???
Great game last night...I know there are so many Steeler fans out there...congratulations!
I know that although you all watched to game in different venues...friends' houses, a bar, your house, restaurants, etc...there was most definitely one thing in common: LOTS AND LOTS of high-caloric foods and drinks. The temptation abounded and although you went into it with the best of intentions, you may have found yourself succumbing to the "mob" mentality. Then you get on the scale this morning (for those of you who garner up the courage to face the music) and say "oops".
For those of you in our program, there is an urge to cancel your appointment this week because you are fearful of the negative results of stepping on the scale. Although you inherently know that no one here gets upset or angry with you, and contrarily, we are here to support you in a very positive way, there still is the feeling of embarrassment. Those who are not in our program currently may not even step on the scale to see the bad news.
These weeks are the EXACT time to come in for your appointment or, if doing this alone, step on that scale...see the results and then formulate a plan. We get into weight trouble when we do ot monitor the weight or have no plan as to what to do if the weight goes up. Denial is a very big factor in people not doing anything about weight gain.
For those of you who stood up to Superbowl week and were successful in your weight loss efforts: CONGRATS! For those of you who had a difficult week...NO PROBLEM! Let's make it up this week with some more rigorous exercise and more careful, planned out dietary intervention.
