When considering starting the ReforMedicine Medical Weight Loss Program, patients often consider many questions before attending an information session or joining. As fall rolls around, some may wonder if the holiday season is a good time to start the program? The best time to begin is when you are ready!
How do you know if you are ready? Sometimes patients get to a tipping point when they are sick and tired of feeling sick and tired and decide to take action. Others are inspired to make changes when they see friends, family, or co-workers experiencing success. No matter where you draw your inspiration from, we are ready and excited to meet you when you are ready.
No matter how ready you might feel, there are common questions that might cause you to hesitate during the holiday season. Let’s address some of the most common myths:
Myth: Starting the program will make the holiday season harder.
Any time an individual makes a change, even a change for the better, there is some level of discomfort. Starting a new treatment plan will take a little bit of effort and attention at first, but the benefits patients feel starting very early in the process make the effort completely worthwhile. During the first weeks of the program patients report a prompt initial weight loss, much more energy, improved mental clarity, and other benefits. Losing a small amount of weight has very immediate positive results! Wouldn’t you like to go into the holidays with a head start on feeling great?
Myth: I’ll miss out on my favorite parts of the holidays.
While it is true that many holiday traditions do involve food, if you carefully think about the holidays during November and December, there are a very small number of days that are actual holidays. The holiday feeling lasts through the season, but the special holiday traditions with the biggest focus on food only include a day or two.
Participants in the Medical Weight Loss Program report that starting the program prior to the holidays is great timing because they have the opportunity to go into the special days with more confidence in making choices and enjoying some favorites on the day of the holiday, and not all the days in-between.
Myth: Starting the program at the first of the year will just be easier.
Patients who start the Medical Weight Loss program before the traditional holiday season avoid self-sabotaging during a several-week period when the average American gains several pounds. Rather than start out further behind, give yourself a head start to new year success.
Give yourself a gift this year and start the ReforMedicine Medical Weight Loss Program.
