Are you standing in your own way of reaching your health & weight loss goals?

 If you’re thinking about joining our program or returning after an absence, we want to welcome you and congratulate you for acknowledging it’s time for change.  We’re here to help make this journey easier for you! 

So, you know that you need to lose weight.  You’ve realized it before your doctor recommended that you begin your personal weight loss journey. If you continue down the path your on, your quality of life and over all health will keep declining.  Or maybe for some reason, you’ve stopped putting your health first. After 3 or 4 months of trying, you’ve given up and reverted back to most of your old habits. You feel it’s taking too long to cross that “finish line” or get to that certain number on your scale. 

There’s a reason why your past attempts have failed.  There is no “finish line” when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle.  Practicing healthy habits daily is truly the only way to sustainable weight loss.  For most patients that are beginning their journey, getting to that goal weight can seem pretty out of reach, which can make giving up after a few months a lot easier. Instead of focusing on the finish line or your goal weight, focus on the progress your making in this process. 

Your most powerful weapon is your mindset.

If your having trouble staying in a healthy mindset, try these tips:

When you feel like quitting, ask yourself why you started. Did you have trouble keeping up with the kids, or grandkids with the extra weight? Did your last round of routine blood work show concerns that you were hoping will improve? Are you uncomfortable in your own skin? 

Come in for an appointment: Our providers focus on small sustainable goals, and the resources that you need to help make achieving these goals easier for you. Whether you’ve never been a patient here before or you’ve met you’re goal here, coming in to talk to a provider or dietician can help reset your frame of thought regarding your weight loss.  If you’ve been here and need a maintenance plan, our providers are happy to discuss your options for additional treatment.

Find an accountability buddy. If you are about to fall off the wagon, recruit a partner to help keep you motivated and on track. Read more about the benefits of losing weight with a partner here: Losing Weight As A Team: The Key To Weight Loss Success

Give yourself some grace.  Did you have a bad week or even month, of making poor eating choices and being sedentary? That’s ok! We’re here to help you get back on track.  Forgive yourself for the slip-up and get back on track. 

Pay attention to how your body feels after eating a nutritious meal or going for a morning walk. Notice your energy and mood. Remember these feelings, when you start to feel like giving up and going back to your old way of life.
