Many times we can feel like we are all alone on our
weight loss
journey, left on an island to figure "it" out for
ourselves.
The sad truth is that many people fail to reach
their weight loss goals
because they lack the support that they need.
Many of us also feel that in order to get that support, we need to pay
big bucks to attend a weight loss resort, retreat
or any
other gathering where we know that we will find others that share our
situation.
Unfortunately, many times we are better off saving
our money!
Forgive me for being blunt, but did you ever go
away to camp (summer
camp, basketball camp... any kind of camp) when you were a kid? Many
times they are nothing but KAYOS! The worst part
was that in many instances what was supposed to be a positive and
uplifting experience, turned out to be anything but. You tend to be
bombarded with everyone's negative
thoughts about how difficult weight loss is, the struggles that you are
bound to face, and the all too familiar... "I will never reach my
goal".
You become the company you keep!
Most of the time
you will leave a weight loss gathering feeling more negative than when
you entered. This is not to say that every weight loss resort is this
way. There certainly are some exceptions. The only
point is that you do not need them to lose weight.
Yet we can't deny the importance of support when it
comes to losing
weight. So how can you find it?
Find a
partner. Find a friend, family member, co-worker, anybody (must be a
positive person) who wants to lose weight with you.
Above all, make sure the person is genuine in their desire to lose
weight, has a positive attitude, and is willing to transform their
figures with you.
You will be amazed at just how uplifting and
enjoyable the weight loss
process is when you go through it with a friend.
Many have reported incredibly fast results and have also created an
amazing connection with their fellow "weight loss warrior."
Many have also enjoyed it much more than attending a weight loss
resort.
