We're hosting a giveaway and need your help!
What items, tools, or gifts would make your life with obesity a little easier?
What I think would be most helpful, on top of the others I posted in the list, are things that I used in Physical Therapy. These may not be available in the home of others...
* A half step, rather than the normal steps we use. Taping phone books together to get that shorter step, sounds dangerous, to easy to slide and fall.
* A print out of sitting yoga exercises. Online, it adds up $$ too fast. When my physical therapist left, I agreed to find something online to use. I'm thinking that others could use that too, rather than just being told to look online or with You Tube. Some of them are charging too. I did like my physical therapist, who sadly retired. The other here in town, not so much.
* Light weights.
* Yoga mat (that's good for anyone to use).
* Something motivational.
* Is there something that could be played on a headset? The headset wouldn't have to be expensive.
* Timer.
* Snacks would be difficult because of allergies and other reactions.
* Mug, geared toward drinking enough water all day. My husband got me a Yeti, that keeps ice cold for about 24 hours.
* Gel packs to use as ice packs. Heating pads. Some can be used for cold or hot.
Those are some great ideas! We have laminated posters all over our basement that tell us how to stretch, lift and exercise properly. I love them. It's so much easier to look at a poster than to stare at the tiny screen on my phone or fetch my laptop. And a half step would be a great way for someone who is new to exercise to ease into stepping. Thanks for chiming in with all these wonderful suggestions. I really enjoy hearing from you. Warmly, Lori (Team Member)
Affordable healthy food. Cheaper food or more money. $50 a week for two people buys the cheapest food is all and that's high carb, high salt, high sugar, high fat, low quality food
I go once a month, $200.00 for everything for two people and 3 dogs. My roommate gets social security is all but that pays rent, phone and electric and it's gone. He only gets 1300 a month and rent, the cheapest 2 bedroom we could get, is 1100 plus electric. That is not a lot to live on. I wish there were more resources available to you. - Lori (Team Member)
Healthy cook book
I think a diversity of different cultures. Sometimes I find things I would never think of trying. That's so true! Have you tried anything recently that was new that surprised you? Thank you for submitting the cookbook idea, by the way! It's such an awesome one! If you have any other ideas for possible gifts, I'd love to hear them!! 💙 Kayleigh, Team Member
