Do you remember when you decided that this was IT!? This is the last time I will lose those 20 lbs., those 50 lbs., 100 lbs.! Do you remember when you made the commitment, you made the call to come in, you met with the doctor, you had your new weight loss plan put together, and you lost the weight! You were probably so confident in your ability to maintain your weight loss, right? I mean, you followed your plan, you went to class, you had accountability, you let the doctor put together a maintenance plan with you and this was going to be EASY!
The doctor probably told you the last time he/she saw you โIf you get up 3-5 pounds, get back in and let me help you lose that weight before you spiralโโฆ
So, now youโre wondering, what went wrong? Why didnโt I go back in at that point? Why did I let it spiral? Well, life probably got in your way! You probably thought, oh itโs just 5 pounds, then 10, then, you stopped weighingโฆ Now here we are.
You may be feeling a myriad of things: Shame, guilt, frustration, sadness, hopelessness. These are all very normal feelings. As much as we tell you that you can do it and give you the tools, sometimes life happens. Sometimes we get busy and unfocused on our goals and sometimes we just donโt realize what we are doing until itโs too lateโฆ But, itโs NEVER too late!
Iโm not sure if you noticed or not, but We (the Scottsdale Weight Loss Center Team) Believe In You! We believe in you before you believe in yourselfโฆ and even when you think itโs too late.
So, what do you do now? Well, itโs so easyโฆ really. You pick up the phone or walk in any of our offices and tell them you need to get back in to see the doctor. We will never judge you, shame you, or make you feel guilty for something most, if not all, of us has been through. Our hope is that you WILL call us when you need us! We will schedule a visit for you to come in and meet with your doctor. He/She will spend time with you helping you figure out your plan of attack. He/She will want you to start weighing in regularly (remember how important accountability is?) and help get you motivated again.
Also, with SWLC, you are a lifetime patientโฆ you can start and stop wherever you leave off! You do not have to start a whole program again and we have some new options for those of you who finished your Jumpstartยฉ Program (or a 20 week program). We will be happy to help you decide the best route for you.
What are you waiting for? We are here for you and youโre worth it!
