| Neil Floch MD @NeilFlochMD RT @obsmchat: Let's get the discussion going! Please remember to tag all tweets with #obsm so we can see them! Here's the first question. #obsm https://t.co/9143Xz68zr |
| Paul Davidson, PhD @PaulDavidsonPhD I have made many resolutions, most of which fell short, regardless of the area. With weight and health, I do best with small commitments to change. I encourage the same for my patients and this seems to work best. #obsm |
| #obsm chat @obsmchat @twirlandswirl looks like they're coming through now! #obsm |
| Laurel Ann Kameleonalani Whitlock 🐊🌺🌈 @twirlandswirl Hello, #obsm! Laurel, mental health worker in Orlando. I'm having (non-bariatric) surgery on THURSDAY and my anxiety is running pretty high but I'm hoping great results will improve my ability to tackle my health and weight more effectively. |
| Neil Floch MD @NeilFlochMD Well those New Year’s resolutions have only lasted for a couple@of weeks with me personally |

| Neil Floch MD @NeilFlochMD RT @bruce_y_lee: @obsmchat #obsm this may be relevant to the topic https://t.co/k7PlOL4p5M |
| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel I dont think I have ever made a new year's resolution. I dont believe in them ;) and rather set goals and make changes whenever I feel like, no matter the day of the week or the date! #obsm |
 | reallyrosy @reallyrosie @obsmchat #Obsm. How many really make resolutions and how much is that like making your bed every morning? |
| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel RT @obsmchat: Let's get the discussion going! Please remember to tag all tweets with #obsm so we can see them! Here's the first question. #obsm https://t.co/9143Xz68zr |
| #obsm chat @obsmchat @BariatricFoodie Welcome, welcome, welcome! #obsm |
 | linda halpin @lhalpin521 @PaulDavidsonPhD I agree #obsm |
| #obsm chat @obsmchat @paclanton Welcome back! #obsm |
| Laurel Ann Kameleonalani Whitlock 🐊🌺🌈 @twirlandswirl @SaltyMeg Click on the hashtag (#obsm) and there will be a bar across the top. It defaults to "top" tweets, but you can click on "latest" instead. |
| Lab is my happy place @profbdcohen @obsmchat A1: 30+/-2 years straight. Unfortunately I tend to shoot too high and then feel disappointed when I fall short. #obsm |
| Anita @ams8174 @obsmchat Over the years, I have made many NYR related to weight loss and health. #obsm. I was Never successful so I stopped making resolutions so I couldn’t fail #obsm. |
| #obsm chat @obsmchat @twirlandswirl So glad you're able to join us! #obsm |
| Michelle Vicari @Eggface @obsmchat For many years, I'd make New Year's resolutions like lose x amount of weight or get down to x size now I prefer to focus on healthy behavior goals versus arbitrary scale #'s or pant size goals. #obsm |
| #obsm chat @obsmchat RT @bruce_y_lee: @obsmchat #obsm this may be relevant to the topic https://t.co/k7PlOL4p5M |
| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel @profbdcohen @obsmchat That is so common! People tend to make big lofty goals as their new year's resolutions, which most of the time is just not realistic. #obsm |
| Laurel Ann Kameleonalani Whitlock 🐊🌺🌈 @twirlandswirl (Also typing on a new-to-me keyboard and I feel like a chimp using a stick as a tool for the first time, so yikes! 😂😂😂) #obsm |
| Michelle Vicari @Eggface @profbdcohen @obsmchat This ^^^ #obsm |
| Bariatric Foodie @BariatricFoodie @obsmchat Nope. To me resolutions are about who I am, how I behave, etc. I’m a big believer of them but NOT weight related. #obsm |
| Neil Floch MD @NeilFlochMD With a New Year comes new beginnings and sometimes in our eagerness to change we place goals that are not very realistic #obsm - small achievable goals are always the best path to progress - #obesity |
| #obsm chat @obsmchat @SaltyMeg @twirlandswirl Welcome to the chat! @twirlandswirl has given you the right instructions. Let us know if you have any problems #obsm |

| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel @Eggface @obsmchat YES, I absolutely agree! #healthbehavior goals tend to work the best and if someone wants to lose weight, and they focus on the behaviors, their weight will most likely decrease as well! #obsm |
| Perry Clanton @paclanton A1: Yes... many years. I have been semi successful, but never 100%. I guess if graded on a curve I could say sort of yes #obsm |

| Neil Floch MD @NeilFlochMD This is the problem with New Year’s Resolutions. It’s a setup for failure when we aim too high #obsm |

 | Robyn Pashby, PhD (she/hers) @robynpashbyphd I prefer to do reflection at the end of the year rather than a resolution for the year ahead. Helps me tap into my gratitude #obsm |

| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel @rpashbyphd I do the same! I enjoy taking time to reflect on the year. #obsm |
| Bruce Y. Lee @bruce_y_lee @obsmchat #obsm vague and very general or grand resolutions don’t seem to have much meaning |
| #obsm chat @obsmchat RT @NeilFlochMD: This is the problem with New Year’s Resolutions. It’s a setup for failure when we aim too high #obsm |
| Neil Floch MD @NeilFlochMD Healthy #obsm |

| Bariatric Foodie @BariatricFoodie @abdulhadibasma @AskDr_Rachel Same! I look at it as a good time to review, reflect, and set targets for myself. #obsm |
 | Emily Dhurandhar, Ph.D. @EmilyDhurandhar @obsmchat Reminds me of this paper.... https://t.co/bLQHnOvyTq #obsm |
| Deborah Greenhouse @greenhousemd @obsmchat I try to avoid New Years resolutions and I don't encourage my patients to make them either. Setting a specific wt loss or size goal is a set-up to fail. I try to focus on basic lifestyle changes for my patients and helping them to good about themselves. #obsm |
| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel @abdulhadibasma If the new year's resolution is realistic and manageable, like a SMART goal, then I think it can work for people. Do you tend to succeed at accomplishing yours? #obsm |
| Neil Floch MD @NeilFlochMD Reflect upon the past and make achievable alterations for the future #obsm |
| #obsm chat @obsmchat RT @EmilyDhurandhar: @obsmchat Reminds me of this paper.... https://t.co/bLQHnOvyTq #obsm |
| Laurel Ann Kameleonalani Whitlock 🐊🌺🌈 @twirlandswirl I've only ever made one strong "new year's resolution" in my life, and that was on January 1st, 2016,when I gave up soda. I used to be legitimately addicted, and it sounds silly, but I COULD. NOT. go without I drank an absurd amount. But I haven't had one since 12/31/2015. #obsm |

| Perry Clanton @paclanton A1: At the same time, I am glad that awareness for a change exists - even if I am not 100% #obsm |
| #obsm chat @obsmchat #obsm https://t.co/gDJj7jlLVH |
| Lab is my happy place @profbdcohen @NeilFlochMD I think this is where support groups and therapists can have a big effect on New Year's Resolutions and #WLS: helping people set realistic goals and have realistic expectations. #obsm |
| Bruce Y. Lee @bruce_y_lee RT @NeilFlochMD: This is the problem with New Year’s Resolutions. It’s a setup for failure when we aim too high #obsm |
| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel @greenhousemd @obsmchat I agree! Those number goals are definitely setting people up for failure. #obsm |
| Neil Floch MD @NeilFlochMD Good paper for setting expectations about #weightloss - #obsm |

| Paul Davidson, PhD @PaulDavidsonPhD Small, achievable goals are the way to go. Better chance of reaching them, and small successes only encourage more of the same behavior. See the short article below: https://t.co/cj6WMEsMoN @ASMBS @ObesityAction #obsm |

 | Marine Lipartia, MD @DrLipartia @obsmchat Joining little late. From Boston. Obesity / Nutrition fellow. Happy to be here. Happy new year everyone. #obsm |
| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel @twirlandswirl Wow, good for you! #obsm |
| Deborah Greenhouse @greenhousemd @obsmchat meant to say "helping them to feel good about themselves." #obsm |

| #obsm chat @obsmchat @DrLipartia Glad you're tuning in to our first chat of 2020. Welcome! #obsm |
| Paul Davidson, PhD @PaulDavidsonPhD @DrLipartia @obsmchat Welcome to a fellow Bostonian! #obsm |
| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel Q2. I think this is VERY important! I always say if you set SMART goals, it is difficult to fail. #obsm #goalsetting #smartgoals |
| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel RT @obsmchat: #obsm https://t.co/gDJj7jlLVH |
| Bariatric Foodie @BariatricFoodie @obsmchat I get overwhelmed by the enormity of huge goals. I like repetition goals. I do things like gym streaking (go to the gym X days/week for a month, etc.). I like those bc they helo me build good habits. #obsm |
| Michelle Vicari @Eggface @NeilFlochMD I ❤️ what @MichelleCardel so wisely tweeted the other day: "There are 365 days in a year & you can make a resolution to change on any one of them" #obsm |
| Anita @ams8174 @obsmchat 2a. Setting small achievable goals seems incredibly important for success because it’s much more realistic & attainable than just wishing for a resolution or goal to become a success. #obsm |
| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel RT @profbdcohen: @NeilFlochMD I think this is where support groups and therapists can have a big effect on New Year's Resolutions and #WLS: helping people set realistic goals and have realistic expectations. #obsm |
| Laurel Ann Kameleonalani Whitlock 🐊🌺🌈 @twirlandswirl Man, I finally remember and can attend an #obsm chat, and @Twitter's got its cranky pants on. |
| Anita @ams8174 @obsmchat 2b. I am currently working on health & weight related goals with @rpashbyphd. The bigger the goal it’s seems so unattainable, so I need to start breaking them down.#obsm |
| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel @profbdcohen @NeilFlochMD I am a psychologist and I definitely agree!! #obsm |
| #obsm chat @obsmchat RT @Eggface: @NeilFlochMD I ❤️ what @MichelleCardel so wisely tweeted the other day: @NeilFlochMD I ❤️ what @MichelleCardel so wisely tweeted the other day: "There are 365 days in a year & you can make a resolution to change on any one of them" #obsm |
| Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp A1: I’m sure I made weight loss resolutions in the past? But this year I have a goal to be physically 5-6 days a week; walking 10K steps 4 or those 5. #obsm |
| Lab is my happy place @profbdcohen @PaulDavidsonPhD @ASMBS @ObesityAction I couldn't agree more strongly with this. It's as true for restoring health as it is for getting through a to do list at work. You can't tackle it all at once. #obsm |

| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel @Eggface @NeilFlochMD @MichelleCardel Exactly! #obsm |
| Marine Lipartia, MD @DrLipartia @obsmchat I used to make resolutions. Even worse - waiting for new year/ Monday/ first of month to “start”. Of course never worked. Now, instead , I make specific immediate goal and - what I want to have at the end of year. Small. Achievable. #obsm |

| Laurel Ann Kameleonalani Whitlock 🐊🌺🌈 @twirlandswirl @AskDr_Rachel Thanks! The first year was so hard - I hadn't thought it could possibly be a legitimate addiction until then, but I struggled! Cutting back never worked, so I had to go all or nothing. #obsm |

| Deborah Greenhouse @greenhousemd @obsmchat Small, achievable goals are a cornerstone of #MotivationalInterviewing. Choose a small goal that you feel you can achieve and work on ways to achieve it.

| Marine Lipartia, MD @DrLipartia @obsmchat A2 - I think it’s important to set big goal and break it down to small goals = steps to give your path a framework. Patients come for follow up disappointed they have not lost xxx# in 2 mo ( unreal). Writing above visually also helps. #obsm |

| Paul Davidson, PhD @PaulDavidsonPhD @ZHeatherChamp @greenhousemd @obsmchat There are many healthy chocolate based options, including protein bars and shakes.

| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel @ZHeatherChamp @greenhousemd @obsmchat I personally dont encourage all or nothing goals.

| Deborah Greenhouse @greenhousemd @ZHeatherChamp @obsmchat I personally couldn't give up chocolate. It makes me too happy. But my recommendation for patients trying to totally give up something is simply to decide, "I won't eat chocolate today." That's manageable. And achievable. #obsm |

| Neil Floch MD @NeilFlochMD RT @obsmchat: That’s a wrap! Thanks, everyone, for another great #obsm chat! Special thank you to the patients who shared their experiences and expertise. Hope you will join us for the next #obsm chat Sunday, February 9, at 9pm EST. |
 | J. Weinberger @JWTraumaRama RT @PaulDavidsonPhD: Small, achievable goals are the way to go. Better chance of reaching them, and small successes only encourage more of the same behavior. See the short article below: https://t.co/cj6WMEsMoN @ASMBS @ObesityAction #obsm |

| Victoria Bruce @teamvictoriawls @profbdcohen @obsmchat This is such a strong need! I pitched a training course to a local foundation, on obesity sensitivity & physical limitations of those with obesity. I feel the fitness field is an area we have not spent enough time educating,& as result many people have negative experiences. #obsm |
