Thing always seem a bit easier when you tackle them with friends or other people. I have joined weight loss programs with friends and sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. What I do know is that unless you are ready to embark on the journey of change, with or without someone beside you, it isn't going to be a long or successful journey. The one thing about letting others define your success is that all it takes is the one comment to throw you off track, or give you reason to take a cheat day or blow things all together, suddenly your inside voice becomes an outside voice and suddenly the voice of reason. Does this sound familiar? I really have started listening to what comes out of my mouth, is it negative, is it an excuse? It is oh so easy to make an excuse or just say "i've blown it" and continue on with the bad behaviour, god knows i've done that before, but now when my inside voice is saying those things I get busy and move forward! Yes, moving forward is key for me these days, lets face it I'm not perfect, but changing the habits that got me well over 200 pounds is the only way I am going to make all this hard work stick this time! I'm tired of always thinking that I won't be back to my healthy weight and with the support and help of my new "positive" friends I have found at Gente bella and from getting active I know I will get there! Doing anything in life that takes time and patience is always a bit easier and better with company, just be careful that the company you are keeping is supportive and helpful, not the kind that puts up road blocks and makes excuses for you...have a wonderful healthy weekend!
