PWLP: Week One - Lesson Six

Personal Evaluation

1. How do you feel about using the word "rehabilitation" in connection with overeating?   I think this is a very accurate term to use. I work at a physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinic, and I see clients come in all the time who need to be restored and rehabilitated from their injuries. In the same way, my overeating and overweight has become a chronic injury in my life, and I need healing from it. I need to be rehabilitated to be restored to my full potential and glory.

2. People usually think of the rehabilitation process as needing to be confined or set apart from society for a time. How have you found yourself "confined or set apart" this week (i.e. turning down a dinner invitation, eating differently than friends and family)?    Josh and I had to miss going out for wings after floor hockey when I just started PRISM, it definitely set us apart as that was a tradition for us every Wednesday night. Additionally, at our staff meeting today, Sean brought in frozen treats and I think I was the only one in the meeting that turned them down.

3. List 3 foods you can have on the program which are not normally connected with a "diet."    Dairy products, rice, natural sugar. There are many diets that prohibit dairy products because they contain fat. Other diets don't allow you to have sugar in any form - refined or natural. And yet other diets don't want you to eat rice - even if it's brown.

4. Which of these foods could you find in an average restaurant?    All of them. Fruits, rice, and cheese are all found at my local restaurants.
