Where do you get yours??

How many times have we tried unsuccessfully to lose weight on our own? t’s a lot like wearing a pair of knickers with no elastic in them – keep falling down, and that’s so true when it comes to battling a weight problem.

When Joining a group of like minded people we become stronger which is why when you join us at and stay to our weekly meeting your success rate increases. Why?? It’s all about getting support so spend a few moments considering exactly why you do need support and who, what and where you could get additional support.

It’s a good idea to break down into separate areas where you could ask for support, obviously the best is always going to be with fellow like-minded people who totally understand the issues we all have, but also there will be some who have overcome issues and can offer constructive support and advice. Your mentor has also got a wealth of experience and can point you in the right direction by offering techniques and strategies.

Enlisting the support of colleagues at work may also help, remember if you haven’t asked for support, no-one will offer it! They are not mind readers and also ask for the right sort of support! It may not help you if the only help you get is…..”Should you be eating that!”

Be mindful of the old saying “No man is an island”.

There are loads and loads of places to get help and support,but if you don’t ask, you won’t get it!! 

When it comes to being successful at losing weight ultimately you can get all the support in the world but you must put in some effort yourself. 

If you are not careful you can become your own worst enemy especially so when you are… Bored / Tired / Emotional / Hungry just to name a few

We all know there are ways of dealing with these so that they don’t affect your weight losses

There is one more critical thing about getting support and that is always say thank-you – even if they don’t quite get it right as then you can always go back and ask for more support. At the end of the day we all want the weight losses and we want it the easy way – to do that we have to have support.

Support is important to help you succeed
someone to help you is all that you need.
Encouragement and praise or a shoulder to cry on
Understanding and help is what we rely on.
Support can be found in so many places
Other members, your mentor, just look at their faces
They are willing to talk and offer advice
For those times you succumb to that extra slice
Friends and family, people at work
these are the places where support can lurk.
But you must remember just one thing
Very few people are into mind reading
Always ask for the help that you need
those who support you are friends indeed.
And always acknowledge their help in your quest
To lose weight each week to become a success.
