“Your weight – let's lose some”
Mick had tried several diets with little success, which caused him to lose enthusiasm. “Your weight – let’s lose some,” said his GP. Mick took control of his eating and found peer support at his weight loss group.
Self-confessed ‘fussy eater’ Elaine usually opted for convenience meal deals and fast food. Determined to succeed, she received a kick start to a weight loss program and took up weekly swimming and walking.
What to cook?
Healthy recipes are on hand. Fitting in cooking fresh food after a busy day at work, before volunteering at Guides in the evening was a struggle. Elaine has transformed her diet with new recipes. Easy Meals is a great way to find, and cook healthy foods. Find delicious, easy meal ideas to help get you going if you’re ever short of inspiration.
Your motivation to change?
Do you want to walk uphill without getting breathless? Are you looking forward to a family wedding or a holiday? Has your nurse or GP encouraged you to shed some pounds? Do you want to be a role model to friends, family and others around you? Fill in your blank_____
Focusing on your motivation to change will help you to change. Joining others on a journey to change will encourage you to keep on track. Sharing with others is an important part of your journey. Mick met and made new friends through his weight-loss group, friends who understood his journey and struggles.
Your weekly weigh-in?
Could you meet with a neighbour or family member to regularly track your weight? A lunchtime weigh-in with colleagues at work could be all you need to stay the course. Keep a food diary, share and compare notes with your group.
