Don't Invite the Enemy Into Your Home

We had two 25 pound loser awards yesterday at our meeting. One of the awardees said she posted this saying on her refrigerator: DON'T INVITE THE ENEMY INTO YOUR HOME.

I appreciate learning from my members. I went to the store afterwards and put one of my "red-light" foods into my shopping cart. It stayed there for about 10 minutes. I kept thinking about that saying- and finally put it back on the shelf right before check-out. I am SO glad I went to that meeting! Even though I KNOW not to bring home things I can't control...sometimes I fool myself, "oh, I can handle it this time!" Uh, uh.

Like I tell my members, "Don't get cocky!" Don't think you are sailing along in losing or maintenance and you just know you're not going to regain it back. It comes back faster than you can imagin if you tweak your eating habits in the wrong direction.

One of the best things you can do for yourself is to make your home a Weight Watchers Sanctuary. Only have things you can handle in your house. There are enough temptations in the "outside world." At least let your inside world protect you. And then, you too, can become a 25 pound loser!
