    I've never really had to try very hard before so this is all relatively new to me.

  • C.
    I've "tried" a lot of things but never really stuck with anything long enough to see if it would work.

  Congrats on completing the “what’s your biggest weight loss mistake?” quiz! The #1 thing holding you back right now from the lasting results you’re looking for is not having a support system!I know you might be surprised I’m not telling you it’s that you’re eating too many carbs or too late at night, right?! Those are common scapegoats but, ultimately, a lot of what you see and hear about weight loss is geared toward surface level quick-fixes that might offer some immediate results but don't do anything to address the actual root issues that make lasting weight loss so rare.When it comes to losing weight, of course nutrition and exercise matter! But given what a small percentage of dieters keep the weight off for more than a year, you know it’s not as cut and dry as that! If it was, a quick Google for meal plans and workout programs would do the trick and we’d all be happy with how we look and feel.Most people (myself included, for years) overlook how important it is to have support when you’re trying to do something you’ve never done before. It seems like we should be able to figure it out on our own or that reaching out for help is somehow a sign of weakness or defeat - when really it’s the exact opposite!Having a support system isn’t about telling your husband to slap cookies out of your hand or having a friend you text for “accountability” (but really just let each other off the hook when you’re making excuses!). It’s about having a person, a community of people who are in this thing with you. Who are as invested in your success as you are, who believe in you even when you don’t believe in yourself. Who are there to cheer you on when you’re winning and prop you up when you feel like you’re failing.Imagine how much different your results could be if you didn’t feel like you were grasping at straws trying to figure out what to do and didn’t have to turn to Google or FB to get your questions answered?Having support can provide you:A roadmap to follow so that you’re no longer getting distracted by every shiny object in the roadThe external accountability you need to actually get in that driver’s seat and do the thingsGuidance when you’re struggling and feel like you don’t see any light at the end of the tunnelA copilot who can help you avoid all the wrong turns and speed bumps along the wayA community of like-minded women who intimately understand your challenges and are committed to working through them togetherI can’t stress enough how much of a game changer it is to not feel alone in this!Who Am I to Tell You What To Do?
