Our First Meeting

Our first meeting went really well I think. I hope those of you that came felt like you got something out of it. For those of you that weren't able to make it, we missed you and hope to see you next week!


Tonight we talked about the top ten things you can do to get healthy- which I have already psoted on this site. We also talked about the best low-cal snacks to eat, and if you have to eat fast food- what and where to eat. (I have handouts for those that missed.) We talked about the importance of subsitutions in recipes to help keep us healthy.


I am really grateful to all those that came- this is something I am really passionate about and am so happy to share it with all of you. I get strength from each of you and I hope that you will continue to come.


Remember, some of the best advice you can get about being healthy is in the scriptures in the Word of Wisdom. Read and ponder over it and you will gain a testimony of it and see how it can bless your life.


My goal for all of us is that through our meetings and healthy changes we are making, that we will come to know of our divine nature and really truly love ourselves and see ourselves the way our Father in heaven sees us.


I will share my favorite quote again with you (I have extra copies if anyone wants one):



"You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be."




We are all on the path to becoming who we want to be. I pray that each of us will come to see our inner beauty as we strive to achieve our goals. Never forget that you are a divine daughter of our Heavenly Father.

Thank you Heather

No matter what, DON'T QUIT!

When you've eaten too much and you can't write it down,

And you feel like the biggest failure in town.

When you want to give up just because you gave in,

and forget all about being healthy and thin.

So What! You went over your points a bit,

It's your next move that counts...So don't you quit!

It's a moment of truth, it's an attitude change.

It's learning the skills to get back in your range.

It's telling yourself, "You've done great up till now.

You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow."

It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal.

You're still gonna make it, just stay in control.

To stumble and fall is not a disgrace,

if you summon the will to get back in the race.

But, often the struggler's, when loosing their grip,

Just throw in the towel and continue to slip.

And learn too late when the damage is done,

that the race wasn't over...they still could have won.

Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow,

but facing each challenge will help you grow.

Success is failure turned inside out,

the silver tint in a cloud of doubt.

When you're pushing to the brink, just refuse to submit,

If you bite it, you write it....But don't you quit!
