This journal was created by Lilith (aka epona_dru) becuase, well, she was doing Dr. Phil's WLC and needed a place to talk, post stats, and generally talk. Also there was no Canadian community of it's kind on LJ and Lilith was having a hard time relating to American WLC people.
Note: Other "plan's" followers are welcome (I have many friends out there doing South Beach Diet or Weight Watchers), but please respect other's "Get Real Goals" and those "Getting Real" with Dr. Phil
Also, being a psych/SW student, i have opened this community up to ANYONE (dieter, wlc-er, OR NOT) who is in need of weight management help and support.
You don't have to BE canadian to be here...... just WANTA be (or atleast have an interest in) being canadian
Rules: 1) Be supportive of others and thier goals. These are not only "Get Real" goals, but whatever plan and goals others have set for themselves 2) No critizism allowed (though suggestions for others are in the form of FRIENDLY AND NICE comments are welcome) to other's posts. As Dr. Phil says "Only you can make the change" 3) Try and post you're stats/how you're doing once a wk 4) KEEP THE GLOVES UP!!!!! 5) Be open and receptive to others and thier suggestions
We can't rely on professions to help us forever.....sometimes you have to learn to help yourself. AND THE TIME IS NOW!!!!!! =P
check LJ user epona_dru for more info and EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO JOIN (canadian or not really =P)
