Since my birthday is coming up this week, I thought it would be fun to celebrate with all of you – my loyal readers/viewers – with freebies every day! I mean, it’s not a party without presents, right? Just stop by FatFighterTV Monday – Friday this week to see each day’s giveaway and enter for a chance to win. WooHoo! Let’s get this party started with today’s yummy offerings!

Since Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I think something sweet is in order. How about some rich chocolates without all the fat and calories? These Weight Watchers by Whitman’s Double Chocolate Mousse chocolates are really, really good! They are only 1 WW POINT and 53 calories per piece. But be careful, because like anything else, those points and calories can add up if you have too many. I suggest hiding them if you have no chocolate self control (see below)…

Up for grabs – 2 bags of the Weight Watchers Double Chocolate Mousse candies… so 2 winners!

Just head down to the comments and tell me how you keep from eating too many chocolates/chips/whatever your weakness food…

Me – I hide chocolate from myself in my jewelry chest. No, I’m not kidding. And yes, it really works for me! I trick myself to some extent – I think it’s just because the chocolate is not sitting right in front of me. Hey, whatever it takes, right?

Today’s contest ends at midnight EST tonight and I will announce the winners tomorrow so you can have the chocolate in time for Valentine’s Day.

The rest of the week’s contests will run through midnight EST this Friday, February 13 and I will announce the winners over the weekend. Also, you have to have a U.S. mailing address to enter… and a random number generator will pick the winners.

Thanks for the free memberships, Weight Watchers!

It’s ironic how there’s this obesity epidemic and at the same time there are millions of starving people around the world. Now Weight Watchers is trying to target both groups with its new Lose For Good campaign.

It’s a six week program that runs through October 18. For every pound someone loses with Weight Watchers during this time, the company will donate the cost of one pound of food — up to one million dollars. The money will go to two hunger-fighting organizations: Share Our Strength, which helps make sure children in America don’t grow up hungry, and Action Against Hunger, which helps fight hunger around the world.

Oh, and did I mention the FREE three-month Weight Watchers memberships? You can try the group meetings or sign up for the online version – your choice. One lucky FFTV member already got this prize. And there’s one more up for grabs. Just tell me in the comments below why you really, really, really need one of these!

A few contest details: It ends at midnight EST this Friday, September 26… you have to have a U.S. mailing address to enter… and a random number generator will pick the winner.

She’s kept it off through Weight Watchers. Now Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, reveals more about her weight loss journey in the new book, Weight Watchers Start Living, Start Losing: Inspirational Stories That Will Motivate You Now.

Here’s an excerpt:

I didn’t always know I was an emotional eater. Before I began the Program, everything in my life revolved around food—I was always looking for my next fix. Whether I was happy or sad, even tired. Actually, that is the perfect example: If I had been this tired a decade ago, I would have reached for the nearest bagel because I thought it would give me a kick. Now I know that when I’m tired I need sleep, not food.

The Duchess of York struggled with yo-yo dieting in the past. But she has learned to keep her weight under control. How? Here are some of her tips:

1. Get support.
A good support network can be a positive force in your life. Seek out support from your spouse, a friend, a family member, even your children. Use their shoulders; you’ll do the same for them at one time or another. If you find it might be too difficult relying on close friends or family members, find a support group that makes you feel comfortable and welcome.

2. Feed your body & soul without food.
It took me a long time to realize that a lot of my overeating stemmed from stress and unhappiness. I regained control over my weight when I finally learned to hit the pause button when I feel the urge to grab something to eat rather than deal with my feelings.

3. Forgive yourself.
Stress and upset have a way of wearing me down. That’s when I’m most vulnerable to emotional eating. So I take better care to avoid situations that will leave me flat out exhausted and I try not to dwell on regret. And when I find myself in the danger zone it really helps me to reach out and ask for some support from family and friends; I also talk to my Leader to get right back on track.

4. Celebrate accomplishments.
The day I reached my goal weight was one of the proudest of my life. Everyone was so supportive and positive, but even more important is knowing that I have what it takes to keep my weight under control. It’s a great feeling and reason to celebrate a little everyday.

5. Say “no” to negativity.
After years of yo-yo dieting I was convinced that any attempt to lose weight would ultimately fail. That kind of negative thinking only breeds more negativity and virtually assures failure. Now I focus on what I can do—and I make sure to count my successes rather than expect failures.

6. Make time for exercise.
Squeezing regular exercise into a busy life can be an enormous challenge, but it is possible. The key was to find what works best for me—so when I’m traveling, which is often, I try to be realistic about what my schedule will allow. A short workout is better than none and keeping up my commitment to fitness is good for my mind, body and soul. And I’ve also learned that it doesn’t have to be in a gym to count as exercise. When in doubt I always know I can reliably fit in a workout first thing in the morning before the day’s schedule becomes too demanding.

7. Eat deliciously.
Eating well doesn’t mean I have to sacrifice delicious foods. I have a healthy eating routine that is based on foods I really enjoy. And I’m quite adept at navigating menus or planning ahead to make sure I’m going to be eating something healthy and enjoyable.

8. Dress for success.
I have a good idea of what styles flatter my figure. I find that monochromatic outfits can be quite slimming and I still get a kick out of leggy skirts that show off my long legs. Dressing well and feeling pretty is a great way to celebrate my success at weight control.

9. Set healthy examples for loved ones.
By establishing a healthier relationship with food for myself, I also set a good example for my daughters so they won’t have to repeat my struggle with weight. I think it is wonderful that so many Weight Watchers members take what they learn about healthy diet and lifestyle and bring it to their family, because it’s a gift that can last a lifetime.

10. Think “more.”
There’s so much good that comes from reaching your goal weight, but remember all that life holds for you when you are feeling confident and in control. Keep dreaming and setting new goals for yourself, whether it’s changing jobs, improving relationships, running an extra mile on the treadmill. I find that visualizing my goals helps me take the steps needed to achieve them. I was so excited when I turned 40 just thinking about all the possibilities ahead.
