exists because no one
should face cancer alone.
We support those
affected by cancer
through a variety of
programs and services.
Our goal is to assist our
participants in developing
a sense of control and
empowerment, deter
feelings of isolation and
aloneness, and to instill
hope. Our focus is not the
disease itself, but how to
live as purposely and fully
as possible.
Overview to Weight loss by Patti Petrella

You are on your way to gaining all the tools you need to lose
weight and keep if off for good! Only you can do it, but this book
can help you every step of the way.

The food guidelines provided can be referred to at any time for a
general guidance in a healthy eating plan designed to help you
lose weight.  A sample menu will be given in each day’s lesson.

The most important part of your plan for weight loss and
management is your daily worksheet, which you can find following
each day’s tutorial.  Fill the worksheet out in the morning to plan
your day, and review it in the evening to reinforce good habits
and learn from your mistakes.

Planning it out and writing it down will reinforce it in your mind.  
This is the most empowering and effective method of weight loss
management. It will allow you to be prepared for the day ahead,
and will reiterate and fix your intentions in you mind and
subconscious.  The daily review will show you where you were
successful or where you need improvement.  If we learn from our
mistakes, they become lessons.  Lessons are positive and
valuable.  We plan for our job and household.  The least we can
do is plan for our health and happiness.  It only takes a few
minutes, and the benefits are priceless.  

I don’t refer to this as a diet program, because a diet is something
you eventually quit.  This is a course of healthy habits that you will
follow for the rest of your life, including eating right, exercising,
and using positive visualization for constructive results.

So start right now with your worksheet.  You may not understand it
all right away, but this first week will be dedicated to working with
the information on your worksheet.  It is a good idea to keep each
worksheet in the book for you own review.  
Every day for the next three months, take one day at a time,
building on your plan, until you have made the weight loss
principles part of your new healthier life.  Practice something for
30 days and it becomes a habit.  After 90 days it should be
permanent! You will have all the tools you need to stay on your
program.
