“I’m HOME! Now what?”
 
Now that you are back at home, you may be wondering how tochange your eating and exercise patterns.
Here’s the “why andhow to” of weight loss. You are now on board to make
incredible lifestyle changes.
 It may seem scary at first
 – 
to change what feels comfortable
 – 
 
 but that‘s okay.
Remember that change happens over time
.
You may already know what to do, but don‘t know HOW to do
it. Or, you may be ready to make changes, but have no idea howto begin.
This weight-loss toolkit will help you to feel a littlemore confident making changes in your life.
If you
are not sure if you‘re ready to make the change, take the
short quiz in the beginning
. Maybe you don‘t feel confident
enough about your cooking skills, for example.
It may be thatyou just need a little extra support from your family, friendsand dietitian.
 
We also give you lots of great resources
, both online and inthis packet. They will be a great help in your weight loss efforts.
Remember:
The most important thing to do is to try your best.You can get up again and start from scratch because there is anew day waiting ahead.There is a section in this toolkit to help you find out how to
follow-up with a Registered Dietitian (RD), who is a healthprofessional trained in the use of diet and nutrition
. Your RDcan be useful in helping you make lifestyle changes. You canalso contact NY-Presbyterian Hospital (212-305-7666) or WeillCornell (212-746-0830) at any time to set up an appointment.
Congratulations
 – 
you are on your way!
