Session Overview<br />
Say: “The objectives for <strong>to</strong>day’s session are for us <strong>to</strong> review how small steps in eating and physical activity<br />
have led <strong>to</strong> big rewards for each person in our group.”<br />
Review of the Previous Session<br />
Say: “In the last session, we learned how <strong>to</strong> recognize negative feelings and stress; how <strong>to</strong> cope<br />
with feelings of stress in a positive way, especially by involving others; and how <strong>to</strong> change<br />
negative thoughts in<strong>to</strong> positive thoughts. Before we get started with <strong>to</strong>day’s session, let’s<br />
see how everyone did last week.”<br />
