The Power of Positive Thinking

We have a patient that tells a great story about her very first visit at the Center for Medical Weight Loss and why she decided to start the program. When she came in for her very first visit she was feeling very down and didn't have much faith that this program would work for her. She had tried every diet imaginable and wasn't able to lose weight and keep it off. While she was being seen for her initial consultation Dr. Drabick reached over to her and said "you're worth it," and that small amount of positivity was all it took for her to get started and to now have lost over 115 lbs. and keep it off over a year later! So now I am going to pass on a little positvity to all of you in the hope that it will help you to motivate yourselves and to remember that you are all worth it too! Here is a short poem that I found very inspirational.

Positive Thinking Will Take You Wherever You Want to Go in Life

There is nothing more powerful in this world than

a positive attitude. It will see you through the best

and the worst of times, and reassure you when

nothing else seems to.

A positive outlook arms you with the confidence

you need to reach for your dreams, no matter how

high they are.

If you take chances in life, what you're really

telling yourself is that you believe in who you are.

Remember to tell yourself that you can do whatever

you set your mind to - and you'll see just how far

that kind of thinking will get you.

-T.L. Nash
