Go Public

Admitting that you are trying to lose weight is the first step on the path to eventual success. You are now accountable for your actions and your friends and family know what your are doing. There is no turning back, otherwise you might risk damaging your integrity. It is easy to find out which of your friends have gone through the process before and get tips from their experiences. Then other friends may become inspired to do the same thing you're doing once they see that you've taken the first step.
If you’ve got a family at home, let them know what you’re going to do, and that you want (and need) their support. If you don’t let them know, you’re running the risk of them inadvertently sabotaging your efforts. You want them to help you get to your goal(s). You want them to share in your happiness when you’ve made it past a certain mark. Who knows? Maybe some of your new habits will rub off on them and they’ll become healthier people, too?

How are you doing so far...halfway through this week...and doing well or struggling? Let us know if you have any tips to share!
