GOOD STUFF FROM LEE

Coaching for Victory is the lecture portion of the aftercare program my surgical group sponsors. It’s conducted by Dr. Evelyn Frye. It takes place the third Monday of every month. She has a very large general practice in Nashville. There are several psychologists and psychiatrists in her practice. Her main experience is in treating addiction, so she does the work for the obesity center hands on, this also includes the two small group sessions she holds during lunch on Thursday and Friday each week.I attended my first lecture this last Mon. I thought I’d try to pass along my notes, in case anybody might be interested. It was two and a half hours, so she covered a lot of territory, bear with me, I’ll see if I can get any of it to make sense. Here’s my first installment.Now that you have had wls and you’re on program towards losing or maintaining your weight losses, it’s time to wake up to who you are and learn to make all your choices with respect and in total agreement with the “essence” of who you are.We have all been learning and making choices from the time we were in the womb. By the time we’re 18 mos. old we have decided to trust or not to trust.

All the decisions, about likes and dislikes, good and bad, can become inconsistent with the “essence” of who we are.

If we continue to dishonor ourselves in order to please others, the following happens:
Being around people who criticize you and can’t see your magnificence.

● “Should’s”
● “Have to’s”
● Perceived obligations
● Trying to be nice
● Withholding communication
● Lying to yourself
● Gossiping
● Being late
● Not caring about other’s feelings
● Comparing yourself to others
● Judging yourself
● Judging others
● Not taking time to enjoy what you have
● Looking to others to make you happy
● Living in fear
● Withholding success from yourself
● Thinking that others are better than you
● Giving away your power
● Ignoring your deepest desires
● Overspending
● Overeating
Overindulging
● Wasting your time
● Deflecting compliments
● Trying to be someone you are not
● Not setting strong boundaries
● Not having enough alone time
● Withholding love from your family
● Withholding acknowledgment from yourself
● Over exhausting yourself
● Ignoring your inner voice
