What can you do now that you couldn’t do three months ago? |
||
| “I’ve learned to eat smaller portions and still feel satisfied. I can now run more than three miles at a time.” | “I can plank for two minutes!” | |
|
What is the most significant change that you have made in your eating habits? | ||
| “One of the biggest changes has been becoming more aware of portion control. I’ve also found that the more I work out, the healthier I eat because the unhealthy options don’t appeal to me in the same way anymore.” | “Portion control is absolutely the biggest change in my eating habits. Combining smaller and healthier portions with eating slower has made a big difference.” | |
|
What part of the I Am Methodist Health program has helped you the most? |
||
| “The groups, coaching sessions, and training have kept me accountable and motivated.” | “The coaching has been the biggest benefit for me, both the individual and group instruction. I was already working out regularly, but having a trainer to help me with weight training was a positive experience.” | |
|
What advice do you give your co-workers to help them make healthy lifestyle changes? |
||
| “Don’t put off doing something positive for yourself. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes. But once you start, you will notice how much better you feel.” | “You need to be mentally prepared for a change in habits to be successful. The commitment — fueled by motivation — is essential. Without those two ingredients, there can’t be meaningful change.” | |
