Preview - Week 48 - Why Would You Offer Me That?

Dear Members,

Does it some times seem like food pushers are everywhere?

This week we are going to develop strategies, to recognize unsupportive behavior and enlist weight loss saboteurs-support or navigate around them.

Who are your saboteurs?

Why do they sabotage?

How do you get their help, instead?

These are good strategies, not only for Thanksgiving, but for the other holidays that are just around the corner.

Don't forget what your winning outcome is for this time of year.

"Tell everyone what you want to do and someone will help you do it!" - W. Clement Stone

A good way to burn off some of the Thanksgiving extras is to sign up for the Jingle Bell Walk/Run. This event is on December 13th. The run is 5 miles and the walk is 2 miles. Monies donated, go to the Arthritis Foundation. You may sign up online. Please follow this link for more information. Dogs are welcome for you walkers! You will see me there with Meg and Oliver with their bells on!

Food Finds - Raw Almonds, Greek Yogurt

I found the following items at Trader Joe's.

I love this find, Trader Joe's Greek Style Non Fat Yogurt. It comes in three flavors: Pomegranate, Blueberry and Honey. Like I said, they are non-fat, but believe me they are so creamy. It tastes like dessert! Only 2 points.






Trader Joe's Handful of Almonds. 13 individual bags -5 points per bag! I know, I know it seems high, but it is portioned out for you, it's a great snack. These almonds are raw, which is way better for you than roasted nuts. High protein (7grams), so is a great source for those of you who are vegetarians, vegans and or want a high protein snack.
