 GLOW, SO YOU CAN SHINE
You don't have to be psychic to determine the thought process behind someone’s actions. A lot of times you can tell why someone
accomplished something just by focusing in on their general demeanor. I have always advocated that attitude is the key to success. If
you wake up in the morning and say "today is going to be a bad day," believe me, it will be. The opposite holds true, too. Whatever
the mind expects, it finds!

I remember a song from a few years back. One line, in particular, stands out, “You’ll never shine if you don’t glow.” It resonated and
has stuck with me. I truly believe attitude affects everything in life, including weight-management, and all of us could move mountains
(and take off pounds) just by embracing an upbeat mindset. Of course, everyone has days when they feel sad, bluesy or less moti-
vated than usual. It's just a part of life. What we can't do is allow those emotions to cast a shadow over our lives in general. If we do,
the negativity will completely rob us of our overall initiative and destroy our discipline.

The easiest way to develop and keep a glowing attitude is to remain continually grateful for
all the good things in life. Everyday, we use a food journal to keep track of what we are
putting into our body, so why not keep track of all the things we're thankful for? Just sit
down at your computer or grab a pen and paper at the end of each day. Ask yourself six
simple words: “What am I grateful for today?" Answers will fall into place like a game of
dominos. For starters, you have your good health and you have love... from your family,
friends and, of course, me! You can read, you have music, you have a great pair of boots to
wear, funny neighbors and you are living a healthy life.

When you keep track of all the good in your life on a daily basis, you will exude positivity.
You'll shine inside and out. A gratitude mentality will help keep you healthier, happier and
more successful. And those will be three more things you can add to your gratitude list!

Feeling Bluesy?
Take a day off
Sometimes we all need a breather, and a day off from work
provides just that. Use a personal day or vacation day, if
necessary. Take 8 hours and forget the errands, cleaning the
house and responding to emails. Hire a babysitter or take
the kids to day camp, if need be. Sleep in a little later,
devote time to a hobby, treat yourself to a massage, read,
download, listen and dance to new music or take a walk at
your own pace. If there is no way you can call off from your
job (and we mean absolutely no way), give yourself a Satur-
day or Sunday and dedicate the entire day to one person,
y-o-u. Everyone needs balance in their life. You'll return to
work, and reality, feeling vibrant and positively remarkable.

Have a girl’s night
We’re all guilty of letting our busy schedules supersede our
social lives so plan a get-together night with your girl
friends. Plan to meet somewhere that is conducive to
reconnecting. Go to a trendy restaurant for a healthy dinner,
enjoy a glass of vino at a casual wine bar and just sit around
at home, catching up and laughing. No TV, movies, concerts
or plays! The focal point should be on you and your friends.

5 Quick Fixes to Feeling Absolutely,
Positively Remarkable
Give
The #1 way to perk yourself up is to give something of
yourself to someone else in need. If you don't have money
to spare, donate your time by volunteering for a cause you
really believe in. Pressed for time, as well as for cash? Well,
don't let that stop you from reaching out. Pack a bag of
clothes you (or your family members) no longer wear and
take it to a non-profit drop box or domestic violence safe
house. Go through your pantry and box-up non-perishable
foods and take it to a food bank. Plate a dinner for some-
one close-by who is elderly, laid-up or laid-off. Giving, gen-
erosity and helping others is a strong elixir to
conquering the blues.
• • • • • • • • • • •
Change it up
Regardless of whether it’s day or night, wear something
different from what you’re used to wearing. Ditch the
sweats and over-sized t-shirt and put them into hiatus.
Dawn bright colors, flash a new accessory or slip on a pair
of fun shoes. Try a different hairstyle or even hair color. Be
a “quick change artist” and play up your assets. You'll begin
to radiate from the outside, in!
• • • • • • • • • • •
Achieve a goal
We all know that nothing feels more incredibly remarkable
than achieving an accomplishment that you deliberately
set out to do. You don’t need to complete a triathlon or
scale Mt. Everest; just accomplish something you’ve been
putting off. Organizing a cluttered space, completing an
exercise goal, planning out your meals for the week or fi-
nally making a trip to the recycling center to drop off that
stack of magazines and newspapers that have been piling
up since who-knows-when, are all rewarding tasks that you
can get to — and through. Be realistic about your
expectations, and go get ‘em!

SUCCESS
Maria Warren
151 pounds lost!*
Maria Warren, after
It was only two years ago that Maria Warren weighed almost
300 pounds. Because of her weight, she had trouble enjoying
some of her favorite activities. She loves sports, especially the
Detroit Tigers, but going to baseball games was quite a
challenge. First, there was always a battle fitting into her seat,
and the embarrassment that accompanied it. But before even
making her way into the ballpark, she had to go through the
turnstiles—an experience that left bruises on Maria’s legs.
When Maria went to a game about a year later, and 80 pounds
lighter, it was a whole new, enthralling experience.
"I remember walking up to the gate with my heart racing and
palms sweating," says Maria. This time, though, she easily made
it through the turnstile. No struggles. No black-and-blue marks.
For Maria, this was a powerful indication of just how far she had
come.
Another way to measure success is the scale—which now reads
145.6 for Maria. That’s a 151-pound loss!
Maria is an inspiration for her boss, doctor, and fellow meeting
members.
Motivated to lose weight for herself and her health, Maria really
made it a point to understand the program. She learned a lot
about food and good nutrition. What stands out for her about
Weight Watchers is that it was the Program that taught her that
food is a choice. The restrictive ways of other weight loss pro-
grams failed for Maria, but Weight
Watchers broke that mold for her.
Despite her phenomenal weight
loss to-date, she knows that this
isn’t the end of her Weight
Watchers relationship. She would
like to become a leader after she
reaches her goal.
Her ongoing success is written in
her determination. She explains, “I Maria Warren, before

Success Story
Donald Doiron
126.8 pounds lost!*
Most of us, at one point or another
in life, come to the realization that
we aren't the same person we used
to be. Donald Doiron came to this
same conclusion more than once in
his life.
Donald Doiron, after Before joining Weight Watchers,
Donald was settling into retire-
ment. It wasn't all he had anticipated. Formerly an active police
officer, he found himself relying on a cane or motorized cart to
get around. At 396 pounds, walking without help was just too
tough. As his health began to fail him in other ways, he realized
he had to try to reverse the trend. The weight had to come off.
He considered surgery but joined Weight Watchers—in his 5X
shirt and 60"—pants figuring he'd give it a try before
undergoing the knife.
Not long after becoming a member, Donald suffered a stroke.
After recovering, he refused to accept that it was too late to
take responsibility for his health. He wanted to avoid any other
implications associated with being overweight and really com-
mitted himself 100% to the Program. Thanks to the support of
his wife, leader, and other members, combined with his
ambition and efforts, Donald is well on
his way. He has already lost a remarkable
126.8 pounds.
During this process Donald is learning
how to take better control of his health.
He currently has about 65 more pounds
to lose before reaching his goal weight.
He's nowhere near the man he used to
be, because now it takes two people to Donald Doiron, before

Eat 20 Percent Less By Keeping The

Serving Dishes Off The Table
Can eating less be as simple as leaving serving dishes on the
stove and off the table? According to a team of researchers
from Cornell University, it can.

Researchers led by Brian Wansink, director of the Cornell

Feel Good! Food and Brand Lab, share their findings of their "Serve Here;
Eat There" study of 78 adults.

Exercise! Don’t Sweat It! "We looked at whether serving foods from the kitchen
counter, instead of at the table, would reduce the number of
times a person refilled his or her plate," Wansink said.
Laugh!
"Quite simply, it is a case of 'out of sight, out of mind,'" he
Love! continued. "When we kept the serving dishes off the table,
people ate 20% fewer calories. Men ate close to 29% less."

The same strategy can be used to help increase the

consumption of healthier foods, Wansink explained.

"If fruits and vegetables are kept in plain sight, we'll be much
more likely to choose them, rather than a piece of cake
hidden in the refrigerator," he said.

Dining environment, plate and portion size, and other hidden

cues that determine what, when and how much we eat are
familiar topics in Wansink's work. He is the author of
“Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think.”

Q. My husband is a junk food addict. I used to be his
partner in this crime, but since I've made the
commitment to eat better, his constant snacking is
driving me off the deep-end. It seems I'm always fight-
ing off the temptation to tear the bag of chips out of
his hands and finish them off. I don't think “irreconcil-
able eating differences” is legal grounds for divorce, so
what do I do?

A. Living with someone who has no interest in eating healthy,

when it's a top priority for you, definitely poses a challenge, but
not an unconquerable one. What you need to do is divorce
yourself as completely as you can from your relationship with
unhealthy foods. Just because you tied the knot doesn't mean
you have to break your other commitment to living a healthier
lifestyle. It simply comes down to the fact the he's making his
choices and you're making yours. You're both aware of “cause
and effect” and one half of your relationship, namely you, is
more focused on the effects your choices bring about. Maybe
he'll come around in the future; maybe he won't. What I usually
see, though, is that partners and family of Weight Watchers
members eventually do follow suit and begin to make healthier Tune in to “Ask Florine”, a televised segment airing on WXYZ
choices, too. Detroit, Channel 7 Action News, Monday evenings at 7 pm.

Until he comes around, as he's noshing on pizza and woofing

down M & M's, instead of drooling and glaring, stay focused on
the many positive effects your commitment to eating well
brings about. If you concentrate on this aspect alone, you'll be
mentally rattling off all the good that comes out of staying true
to your healthy, beautiful self long after he crinkles up the
empty candy wrapper. Let's face it: You know how good you
feel when you stay on track. You know how good you look, too.
You probably also remember how godawful you felt about your-
self before you took control of your eating habits? You don't
want to ever go back there.
For those nights when you really feel like you're going to lose it
and you just have candy or some party mix, remember that very
little in life is “all or nothing.” You can always choose to have
higher POINTS® value snacks; just plan for these snacks,
portion yourself out and most importantly, keep track of the
POINTS® value eaten. You won't want to make eating un-
healthy foods a part of your daily routine though, so always
make it a point to be the one (solo or with your partner in tow)
to go grocery shopping so that you always have healthier food
options in the house.
Q. I live alone and I don’t have a lot of money. I really
love to eat fruit, but it is hard to eat it all before it
goes bad. I hate throwing money in the trash and
that's exactly what I feel I'm doing. Canned fruit is
usually cheaper, but is it an okay choice?
A. As far as taste, texture and nutritional value go, you mostly
always get more bang for your buck by eating freshly picked
fruit. At the same time, few people realize that canned and even
frozen fruit can sometimes actually provide more nutrients than
store-bought fruit and here's why:
Canned and frozen fruit is usually processed immediately after
the fruit is harvested, so that when you do enjoy it, it retains as
many nutrients as it did when it was first canned or frozen. Fresh
fruit, on the other hand, has to undergo the shipping process. It
sits in the truck as it makes its way to the store and then it sits in
the produce section until it's purchased. Additionally, it then sits
in your refrigerator until you actually eat it. That's a lot of sitting
and time takes a toll on it in terms of nutrient-loss and freshness.
So, if I'm in the mood for fresh fruit (and I always am!), I make it a
point to shop for it at a local farmer's market or scout out the
“locally grown” section at the grocery store because I know the
shipping time has been greatly reduced.
When I do buy canned or frozen fruit, there is one main
guideline I follow: I try to choose only those packed in its own
juice or water. I don't want additional syrup (even if it's listed as
light syrup) or sugars. I don't like the fake taste nor the
additional calories.
