Who is your weight loss role model?



"person who serves as an example, whose behaviour is emulated by others"



Who is that one person in your life that has really made a difference, a person who makes you go.....oh yeah......Well, we all have those people, or I should say I hope you do. I know I do. I actually have a few of them. They are the people who make you realize that weight loss is important, weight loss is achievable, weight loss is really up to me and help me know that I CAN DO THIS! A role model to me is someone who also.....has been there. Someone who understands what I am going through, and someone who struggles from time to time...just like me. A role model to me at this point in my life not only has lost weight, but is wanting to be healthier for it. Not just cosmetic!



HOW TO BE A POSITIVE ROLE MODEL

be diplomatic, straight forward, sensitive, and respectful

lead with dignity and compassion

maintain your composure under pressure

educate by example, not empty words

exhibit unyielding faith in peaceful solutions

refuse to give up the cause for nonviolence

combine honesty with tact and grace

don’t end a friendship or relationship after the first argument

transform conflict into open conversation

don’t walk out on a discussion or mediation simply because it is difficult

have intentions that reflect everyone’s best interest, not just your own

approach people on their level without being condescending

refuse to respond to threats with aggression or force

insist on focusing and finding solutions

respect the feelings of others when expressing your own

stay in touch with your heart and soul

learn something from every experience and remember the lessons

share your knowledge for the benefit of all

remember that you are part of the human community

WATCH * LISTEN * GROW * LEARN * LOVE * BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!!!
