A good support system is probably the #1 secret of my most successful clients. Not only does it serve as a much-needed shoulder to lean on, I also believe that you become a lot like who you are with. The people you spend the most time with indirectly affect who you become in life. If you have a great circle of friends, then you will do great. Conversely, if you have a negative circle or no circle, then the odds are stacked against you. This is why I feel it’s so important to select wisely when it comes to choosing weight-loss buddies. However, the odds of finding the perfect person can be next to impossible. Several of my clients have found great success by forming a triad of support. This is a group of three people who come together to help each individual stay strong, focused and motivated. With three in a group, the chances of at least one person having the strength to carry you through an especially trying time is greater. In areas where you’re weak, one of the other two in your group is bound to be strong. Communicate with your support group often, whether through email or over the phone. Send one another words of support and encourage success for the whole group.
Your coach,
