How Building a Strong Support System Helps Reach Your Weight Loss Goals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nHaving a support system behind you while you lose weight will give you that motivation<\/strong> and inspiration<\/strong> to continue on especially when things get rough. It is always nice to having someone have your back because things never work out according to plan. Not only with weight loss but with life in general. It really doesn’t matter who your support system is either wether it is a friend, coworker, spouse or even your personal trainer. Just remember to have people there to help motivate you and keep you accountable. A support system is important when working to lose weight because it really is not a perfect journey. Having a support system helps us when we need a lift or a little friendly push. It also helps us know we are not alone and makes the journey more enjoyable and successful<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLosing weight is so much about changing behaviors, including what you eat and working out. A support system will help encourage<\/strong> you to stay on your diet, and will praise you when you completely work out sessions and will help you find healthier food choices and will be there to support you when you struggle. Having a support system in place will help you when things become difficult, and you\u2019re tempted to quit. Much like quitting smoking or using alcohol studies show that people are more successful in attempts to lose weight when they have a support system there to help them.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAccountability to your support system<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIn addition to eating right and exercising, a support system and being accountable<\/strong> are key in ensuring your weight loss efforts stay strong, sensible and successful. You and your partner may individually break promises to eat better and exercise regularly, but together you will be more likely to stick to your weight loss routine. You don’t want to let your support system down, do you?<\/p>\n\n\n\nA support system helps you get through the rough times and reach your goals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSometimes you need a little push because your motivation<\/strong>\u00a0and energy are lagging behind. By working together, you and your support system will both be able to achieve goals faster. By telling someone\/people your goals, you’ll more likely reach them because you don’t want to look foolish not doing what you told someone you would do. That’s a huge part of why I started this blog. Do I want people to follow me in my weight loss and have them watch me just give up? Noooooo! Having a common goal with your fitness support system\u00a0can be so motivating when it seems easier to just give up. Your support system won’t let you give up. They’ll be the ones that give you that extra kick in the ass to get you through the hump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you decide to lose weight do you tell lots of people? Do you keep it to yourself? Thinking back, I used to keep it to myself. Besides my husband, no one else needed to know. Was I embarrassed? Ashamed that I actually had to go on a diet? I don’t know. Probably but the point is, it didn’t work. I didn’t have a support system. On my most recent weight loss quest (now) I’ve decided to shout it the world. Social media, this blog, my family, everyone and anyone that’ll listen! And so far, so good.
