Your success in sticking with an exercise and weight loss program may just come down to you asking for help - unless pride gets in your way. The key to longevity is surrounding yourself with people who will give you support followed up by accountability.

A good team is one that has quality support, honest encouragement, and requires personal responsibility.

From my e book The A Factor

Your Inner Circle

You can tell a lot about a person by the friends they keep. This is a very true statement. Let me say this first. Many decisions in life have strings attached to them. Strings sometimes make it virtually impossible to accomplish any goal. However, it is important to be aware of who influences you the most. Usually there are two types of people around you:

Non-toxic, encouraging support people.

Depending on how important change is to you, the choice of changing friends and certain relationships may be necessary. In other words, if you want to know about yourself, just look at the types of friends you have.

The more youre positively reinforced, the more fulfilling the journey will be and the more memorable. It takes courage to take this step and if you make it, you should be applauded.

Responsibility

Change Your Life With A Commitment To Weight Loss
Anyone who has ever had to lose weight can attest to the enormous commitment the endeavor demands. Dropping .....

Even though you cant succeed alone, you still have to take some responsibility in your health and goals. Part of being responsible is sharing goals with close friends and support people.
