Visual aids are important in weight loss, as in many other areas of endeavor.
Sometimes the loss of weight seems insignificant, but if you compare it to something visual, it becomes an accomplishment. For example, if you lost 1/4 pound - that is a stick of butter.
5 pounds is a bag of sugar
At Weight Watchers, someone lost 7 pounds and the leader said,
"That's 28 sticks of butter!"
When one person was asked about her total weight loss, she said,
"I lost a bag of deer corn, 40 pounds!"
The meetings are lots of fun and entertaining. We meet new people, get encouragement, recipes, and tips.
Like just last night we were told, "If it gets too cold to go outside to exercise, just do like everyone else in Ellijay, go to The Walmart and walk around!"
The country version of mall-walking, losing your weight in deer corn, ain't the country life grand!
