Having the right social support group and supportive environment can make or break
your fat loss program in less than a minute.
Research shows this. Experience proves this.
All it takes is a bunch of co-workers to surround you at your desk with a box of
doughnuts and pressure you into "having just one". The next thing you
know its 3 days later and you haven't had a decent meal since.
According to the research on social support for fat loss, there are at least 2 proven
ways to harness the powers of others for your fat loss goals.
First, include a health professional in your social support group. This could be
your doctor, a nutritionist, or a trainer that you see on a regular basis. But you
need to be accountable to someone.
This will work best for those of you that can't find support among your family,
friends, or co-workers.
Second, if a member of your social support group also loses weight, you'll have
a greater chance of succeeding. So try and get family members, friends, and co-workers
directly involved. Get them from cheerleaders to active participants in the fight
against fat.
I hope these tips help you out. If you don't have any social support right now,
by all means, send me an email on your progress and at least hold yourself accountable
to me.
