Ditch Dieting and Make Wellness a WEIGH OF LIFE

Strict dieting isn’t easy or effective for the long run. Instead, make small, gradual changes to your lifestyle that will help you peel off the pounds and keep them off.

CentraState’s Weigh of Life takes you on a 12-month journey to a healthier you. With experts as your partners and your peers as support buddies, you’ll get the tools and strategies you need to feel great, stay accountable, and keep motivated.

“Unlike fad diets, Weigh of Life is flexible and realistic,” says certified health specialist Tiffany Larkin. “You’ll learn how to include foods you enjoy without feeling guilty. It's about progress, not perfection.”

We’ll explore how you can achieve a healthy weight by enjoying delicious, good-for-you foods and increasing physical activity to fire up your calorie burn. You’ll also learn how to cope with stress and emotional triggers by making smarter choices.

Try a kinder, gentler approach to growth and change. Follow these five tips to reignite and sustain your efforts, not just for the New Year but all year long.

Losing Your 2019 Resolution Resolve? 5 Tips to Get Back on Track!

Accept where you are Practice self-acceptance. It allows you to affirm your strengths and weaknesses, and begin from a place of non-judgment.

Tackle one small goal at a timeIt takes a lot of motivation to change even one small habit. Go after one goal at a time. Keep it simple and sustainable. Once you’ve mastered it, move to the next one.

Develop a plan and track your effortsBreak down the end goal into manageable bites and create a calendar with something to do every day that will get you closer to your desired result. Then track your progress. It feels great to check things off.

Don’t go it aloneStay accountable and motivated by surrounding yourself with likeminded, positive people. If you need support, our health professionals can help you stay focused, problem solve, and work on changing old behavior patterns.

The first step is to learn more about it.

Join us for wine, cheese, and intimate conversation

on all things pelvic health. Discover new solutions

that free you from enduring pelvic health issues.

Led by a pelvic health specialist, the discussion

naturally unfolds and an array of topics are covered,

including:

• Interventions for incontinence

• Causes of pain during sex

• Pelvic organ prolapse and how you can alleviate

it by either strengthening or relaxing your

pelvis muscles

• The effects of hormone changes and how they

can magnify or even cause pelvic pain

No topic is taboo.

“Once everyone gets comfortable and they hear each

other’s stories and struggles, they realize they’re not

alone,” says Amanda LaRaus, physical therapist and

pelvic health specialist. “It’s validating and freeing to

finally be able to talk about it in a safe space.”
