What can you do now that you couldn’t do three months ago? |
||
| “I can say no to foods that I don’t need to eat. In addition to this achievement, I can eat less when I do decide to eat something.” | “Because of the lifestyle changes that I have been able to make and incorporate into my life, such as eating breakfast on a more regular basis, I’ve noticed a difference in my energy level. I’m usually less productive when I don’t incorporate the skills I have learned through the program.” | |
|
What is the most significant change that you have made in your eating habits? |
||
| “I have incorporated a much better mixture of veggies and smaller portions of meat on my plate.” | “The most significant change I have made to my eating habits is cutting back on the amount of snacking. Also, I’ve replaced unhealthy snacks with more nutritional snacks such as fruit and veggies.” | |
|
What part of the I Am Methodist Health program has helped you the most? |
||
| “The fact that my wife is part of the program is a big reason why I’m having so much success. She’s the one who applies the concepts that are discussed in the group and individual meetings” | “The part that helped me the most is having group meetings so that we could bounce ideas off of each other.” | |
|
What advice do you give your co-workers to help them make healthy lifestyle changes? |
||
| “Just start somewhere and make little changes like eating smaller portions or changing from regular to diet soda even once a day. Little things turn into big things!” | “Pennies make dollars so start with reading nutrition labels and making small swaps such as turkey instead of beef two days a week instead of four days a week.” | |
