Last week I attended a great conference in Omaha focused specifically on adult weight management. Weight management is similar to a balance scale that involves give and take to make it just right! I learned a lot of great new tips and strategies to help my patients and participants of STRIVE 2 Survive succeed with their weight management goals.
One main key to success is evaluating your readiness to make lifestyle changes and how you are going to do it. This is always easier said than done, so a great way to start off is by making a list or brainstorming areas in your life that could use improvement and ways you are willing to make these changes. A food and exercise log is a great way to do this. It can be hard copy or done electronically. A favorite internet site of mine for food journaling is www.Livestrong.com and check out the “My Plate” section.
