Stand Proudly and Say "I Am Worth It"

I know I get excited a lot about what we do...  But today I am totally excited to bring you this BIG NEWS!

Watch Dr. Oz this Monday!

Weight Watchers and Dr. Oz are rallying America to join a health revolution.  It's called Dr. Oz's Transformation Nation: Million Dollar You, a plan to help get America living better and stronger just by following seven simple steps.  You might even win $1 million*.  But you and hundreds and thousands will get the real prize: better health.

Dr. Oz is challenging the nation to take a look at their weight in several ways; knowing that literally millions of Americans don't even know what they weigh, let alone what their BMI (Body Mass Index) is - or indeed, what BMI means, he wants America to collectively lose 10% of their starting weight.  That is so cool.

Here is what he is going to tell people:  For more than 45 years, Weight Watchers has helped millions of people lose weight in a healthy way.  Their singular mission is to help people lose weight in a sustainable way by helping them adopt a healthier lifestyle and a healthier relationship with food and activity. Weight Watchers doesn't tell you what to eat nor do they tell you what not to eat, they provide inspiration, information, knowledge, support, tools and motivation.

You will see Dr. Oz contestants coming into our meetings to get their baseline weigh-in.  What a fantastic opportunity to welcome them and invite them to stay for the entire meeting and learn more about what we do!  Please feel free to approach them and make them feel comfortable; share your success stories and let them know they are in the right place to make a real difference in their lives.  Thank-you :)

Here is what I say:  There is no such thing as "will power".  Will power is something they created to make us feel bad because we don't have any!  There is only "WANT POWER".  The term "Want Power" is so much more potent than the term "will power", don't you think?  In essence, if you are faced with an "on plan" choice and an "off plan" choice of eating - don't think about relying on will power; go into your inner being and get in touch with your want power to assist you to make the right decision!

In fact, I feel so strongly about this that we are going to get in touch with it in the meeting this week --- do you understand what brings you to want to lose weight and live more healthily?  Give some thought to your  motivation before you come to the meeting and we'll have a fantastic discussion --- this meeting will leave you inspired and powerful!
