Its all about our belief system: If I believe I can stick with this through the next 2 weeks... guess what? I can! Wasn't it Henry Ford who said "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you are right"?
So lets talk strategy - here are 2 of them:
Weight Watchers Empowering Beliefs Tool For Living
Step 1, Rate Your Empowering Belief:
if 1 is "No Way" and 10 is "Absolutely", rate your beliefs
My Goals are worth it ---- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
I deserve to meet my goals ---- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
I can meet my goals ---- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Step 2, Complete This Belief Builder Exercise:
Write what your life would be like if you didn't achieve your outcome by the end of the next 2 weeks:
___________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________
Write what your life would be like if you did achieve your short term goals:
___________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________
List 2 or 3 past successes, in any area of your life, that make you feel like you've accomplished something of which you're proud:
___________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________
Step 3, NOW Rate Your Beliefs Again:
My Goals are worth it ---- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
I deserve to meet my goals ---- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
I can meet my goals ---- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Weight Watchers Mental Rehearsing Tool For Living:Set the stage for success, becoming the "star" of your own mental movie can help you rehearse your way to new-found success. Here are the steps to help you:
Step 1, Imagine the Challenge:
Think of an overeating trigger situation that you usually find hard to manage. (e.g. appetizers at the family event) - write it down:
___________________________________________________________
Step 2, Imagine How That Situation "SHOULD BE":
How would you like to feel (e.g. not so hungry I'm out of control):
___________________________________________________________
How would you like to think (e.g. I would love to manage to eat only 3 pieces):
___________________________________________________________
What would you prefer to do (e.g. sip a glass of seltzer or offer to set the table instead):
___________________________________________________________
Step 3, Make your Movie:
Create a "movie" of yourself doing what you just imagined - of you handling the situation exactly right - and "watch" it over and over again in your head.
Step 4, Cast The Role:
Step into your movie and really imagine yourself behaving in your new, healthy way until it feels easy and natural.
Step 5, Re-Runs ARE GREAT:
Practice being in this particular movie every time the situation comes up.
Don't wait to take the NEXT EXIT - take this one --- success comes sooner!
GOOD LUCK!
NEWS FROM WEIGHT WATCHERS
Ready, Set, Scan!
The barcode scanner, now available for both iPhone and Android, provides accurate PointsPlus® values for thousands of products which can be tracked directly from scanning a product’s barcode — no manual data entry into the Tracker is needed! Scan any food you like, even if it’s one we don’t have in our database — you can easily add the food to your Favorites list or directly into a mealtime in your Food Tracker.
Additionally, the new barcode scanner app can compare multiple scanned products — a really useful feature when it comes to meal planning and creating shopping lists.
To download this beauty, look for Weight Watchers Barcode Scanner in the App Store or the Android Market. This product is free for all iOS and Android smartphone users who have a Weight Watchers Online or eTools account with us.
So, what are you waiting for? Head to the grocery store and start scanning all of your holiday food items before you purchase to make sure they are PointsPlus values-friendly.
A few housekeeping items:
1) It’s best if your Weight Watchers Mobile app is the latest version (iOS v1.7, Android v1.1), it’ll play nicely with the barcode scanner
2) All items will be tracked as "user-created foods" and will display with the blue flag next to them in your PointsPlus Food Tracker.
3) The barcode scanner has a separate food database from the Plan Manager and Tracker apps, so only the foods you track or add to favorites from the Barcode Scanner app will be available in the PointsPlus Food Tracker.
4) All Favorites created in the barcode app will be added to the Plan Manager and Tracker app favorites, BUT you will not see Plan Manager or Tracker app favorites in the barcode scanner app. Also, deleting favorites from the barcode scanner app will not delete it from your Plan Manger or Tracker app.
