Like many people, I've resolved to lose some weight in 2013, so I found my way back to a Weight Watchers meeting today. I've had success with Weight Watchers in the past. In fact, I lost 17 pounds between January and June of last year, and I felt amazing! Unfortunately, I've managed to gain 26 pounds since the end of June. I like eating well, and I like the idea of being active and healthy. So, I have always liked Weight Watchers- both in theory and in practice.Weight Watchers has rolled out its new program since I let my membership lapse in October, so I decided to stay for the Power Start session at the end of the meeting to find out what "360" is all about.
With the new 360 program, Weight Watchers emphasizes that in order to lose the weight and keep it off, you're going to have to do more than just increase your activity and track what you're eating. The plan takes into account that we're whole people with very full lives, acknowledging that a lot of factors impact how we lose weight. 360 aims to put us back in control of our life as it relates to food by introducing us to ways to manage the spaces we occupy throughout the day and by encouraging us to establish new routines.
Reading the new Weight Watchers literature has made me realize that I could benefit from incorporating this 360 approach into my whole life. Weight Watchers wants us to take a holistic approach to weight loss, and I want to feel whole and complete in all areas of my life. I want to commit to exploring my passions more fully over the next year, and I think that this 360 approach will help with that. What does that mean exactly? To be honest, I don't know yet; it will evolve along the way. I do know that I'm looking forward to this coming year, though; I'm excited about losing weight and finding new opportunities for growth and fulfillment.
360 degrees. A full circle. Complete.
