Ways Losing Weight is Like Writing a Letter to Santa

  • Anyone can do it
  • Being greedy isn’t a recipe for success
  • Some people need a little help getting it started
  • You feel better once it’s done
  • The possibilities are limitless
  • Your’s is different than everyone else’s
  • Helps if you write down all the things you want
  • If you can’t stop being naughty, you probably shouldn’t even bother
  • Once you’ve done it, you have to continue being good
  • Sometimes you feel like it’s going nowhere
  • Just saying what you want doesn’t mean you’re going to get it
  • You really need to be good, not just say you’ve been good
  • It’s harder to do when you get older
  • You really should leave out cookies
  • It doesn’t work if you don’t believe

  1. The possibilities are limitless... Loved that Jack!!! They are. At 52, I just took my first kickboxing class. Yes, it gets harder as I get older but I am not giving up!

  2. I think I'm going to write a Christmas letter to me telling me what I want for next year and then make it happen. That's right, I'm my own Santa. :)

    Congrats on getting so close to Onederland. I have complete confidence that you will be there soon. You have done amazingly well. You have the determination.

  14. I agree, the last one is so true. This time of year I feel like all my patients just need to believe that it can be different and that they can do it.
