The most important — but least discussed challenge of adopting a healthy lifestyle:
It’s 10x harder if you don’t have support from those you love.
- Your friends tell you to “eat something because you’re getting too skinny.”
- Your family refuses to change eating habits and you’re making two separate dinners.
- Your spouse doesn’t want to budget a gym membership or won’t help with the kids so you can exercise.
I could literally describe 100’s [of] examples I’ve heard over the years, but they all have one thing in common: A lack of support from loved ones leads to failure to make lasting changes.
Before embarking on a new health journey, have a serious sit-down talk with those around.
Make it clear what you need from them, how the changes may affect your relationship, and you’re counting on them for their support.
This discussion will provide the added benefit of accountability. After you make a big deal out of the changes you want to make, you’ll be less likely to quit.
Making serious lifestyle changes is made 10x harder when those around you are unsupportive or even belittle your goals, but having open and honest discussions can help gain support and accountability.
Side note: Don’t be a jerk to those you love who are making a serious attempt to better themselves.
