The Diva's Toolbox

Photo:  isabellang.blogspot.com
Just as a master carpenter must be equipped with specific tools to build a house, so does The Bariatric Diva need her own toolbox (pink and shabby, of course), filled with ideas, options, healthy non-food coping strategies, concrete examples of loving herself first, and tips for making herself feel and look good.  The Diva likes to share, so I invite my fellow divas to get their own toolbox.

Let's crack this baby open and start filling it up with good stuff, shall we?

Tool 1:  Accountability to Yourself
You alone are responsible for the weight loss and maintenance you achieve.  Recognize that the choices you yourself make determine the level of success you can expect. 

Celebrate when you've done well and pat yourself on the back.  (Every baby step needs to be applauded.)  When you slip (as we are all known to do), acknowledge the backslide, own it, forgive yourself, and get right back in the saddle immediately.

Takeaway:  Embrace responsibility for all of the choices you make in your weight loss and maintenance journey.
