Wonder why it's called a DIE-IT

[jenlyncat]

Just a random thought...

About a year and a half ago, my mom went for her yearly check up that included blood work. Her triglycerides (sp?) were way too high. Her doctor told her if she didn't get them under control, she would surely not live a very long, full life. She got them under control and lost about 50 pounds. She had been on a plateau for about six months when she started WWAH while I go to the meetings. She has done great...losing 13 pounds in six weeks. She only has about 10 more to lose! tongue.gif

Anyway, I have rambled on enough...get to the point. After her doctor told her that she had to change her diet to live, we started calling her changed eating habits, a most recently WW, a live-it. graemlins/crazy.gif Puts a more positive spin on it, huh? Of course the first three letter of the word diet spell die - just how you feel when you're dieting! graemlins/ugh.gif

Think of this as a LIVE-IT, a way to have a long, healthy, happy life!!

Have a great afternoon!!

I think of it this way...The old you is dying and in iots place a new person is reborn.
Kind of dumb, but a possibility.

I think that is a positive way to look at it. I'm forever correcting people with: "It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change."

We change our mentality about eating to go along with the change in food.

Remember Garfield? Whenever John tried to put him on a diet, he'd quit it because "It's just die wit a T!"

Odie was never such a pain in the ass.

This is a WAY old thread but clearly I'm killing time til 5:00 on a Friday... I thought it was pretty clever and a good thing to think about as we are all try to stay motivated during the holiday season.

We want to live-it ALWAYS including when christmas goodies are all around.

Thanks for bumping Karen - you are right it is a good thing to talk about.

Funny - I didn't pay any attention to the dates the original posts were submitted but I was thinking 'who are these people'???? :bcb_grin

Wow! What a powerful post! I think the problem people have is they are constantly looking for new "diets" when they should just simply focus on changing their lifestyle. If you can do that, you will always be successful! Haha quite honestly changing your lifestyle on WW seems to be a hell of a lot easier than all those crummy diets out there anyway! Don't give up hope ladies, with Christmas coming up you should be stronger than ever! But never deprive yourself :) Happy Holidays!!!
