Our main goal and mission at Physician's Way, is to help you reach and sustain the healthiest weight possible for your particular age, height and individual medical issues. We do not focus on reaching unsustainable or unrealistic weight goals that are unreasonable in nature. We truly believe that everyone has an ideal weight 'range' that is compatable with excellent overall health and that it is important to strive for that place.
Having said this, it is disheartening to hear when someone is angsting over 'those last few pounds' that just don't seem to ever go away. In truth, most of us will struggle our entire life, with 'those last few pounds' that just seem impossible to eliminate. The fact is, our bodies are designed and behave in a manner which tries to 'protect us' from wasting away.
Because of this, it is important for us to approach weight-loss with a healthy mindset. YOU are not your weight. It's important to know that excess weight does not define 'Who You Are' and it is not a character flaw. We hope that you are loving and accepting of yourself first and foremost and that your efforts to lose weight, not only improve the way that you see yourself, but ultimately improve your health.
If you happen to be struggling with the idea that you just have to be at a particular weight or fit into a particular outfit to be happy with yourself and this is causing you excessive grief, stress and heartache, it may help to talk to someone who can offer therapeutic guidance and counseling. Not all weight-loss is healthy. Please keep this in mind and seek help if you feel you need it.
All the best,
Dr. Kelley

It's almost here.....that time of year which terrifies and frustrates many of us year after year with the same old dilema as years past. It's swimsuit season and though there are arguably more pressing health reasons to lose weight and get fit, for many of us, it is undeniable that not being at the physical place you want and have planned to be, year after year, is mentally tormenting.
Again, as in my last post, trying to remain consistent with your exercise efforts and focussing on feeding yourself in a manner which 'supports your fitness efforts,' is key to longterm success both in losing weight and in maintaining your weight-loss.
So.....this is just a reminder. We're 6 weeks away from the beginning of June, when the kids are out of school and they will be wanting to go to the local pool. Please plan to do the things now that will ensure you are comfortable joining them.
It's time now, to get started.
We are here if you need more help and guidance.
Take care, as always.

What we become, achieve, develop or accomplish, generally comes down to what I like to call, 'the Big C.' What is 'the Big C' you ask? It stands for 'CONSISTENCY.' Why is Consistency important? It's because what we do on a consistent basis results in an end result which is usually reflective of that which we were consistent with. An example is smoking. If someone smokes a pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years and ends up with lung cancer, is the cancer an unexpected occurrence? Of course it's not.
If an athlete practices the pole-vault each and everyday, are we surprised when they excell at the track meet? No, we're not.
Consequently, if you leave your diet to chance and have no idea what your eating for lunch each day, you may consistently overeat too many calories of all the wrong stuff. If you eat poorly consistently and only exercise 2 to 3 days per week, is it a surprise when you don't lose weight, or when you gain weight? It probably is not.
So today, I am going to encourage you to focus on 'the Big C.' Make consistency in your diet and your exercise an everyday occurrance. Consistency can be your best friend, so long as what your being consistent about, is helping you to achieve a healthy and worthwhile goal.
Get back to the basics and make sure you have a plan for exercise Each and EveryDay and a plan for how you are going to eat each day.
Take care, until next time.
All the best!
