What are some obstacles with losing weight ?
� I can ’ t exercise for more than a few minutes . � I work 60 hours a week and I ’ m too tired by the time I get home . � There ’ s no gym close to my house . � I feel embarrassed working out in public . � I don ’ t like running . � I don ’ t know what to eat . � I eat out a lot with friends and don ’ t want them to know I ’ m trying to lose weight . � I ’ m not sure what kind of exercise I should do .
You don ’ t have to figure out how to beat these yet , that comes later .
Remember , thoughts in your head are a lot tougher to beat than words on a sheet of paper . Listing your obstacles is a great first step to overcoming them !
Step 4 : Identify the People , Groups , and Organizations that Can Assist
The average person is afraid to ask for help . However , when we are trying to achieve goals , it ’ s a bad time to try to be independent .
Some of the greatest minds in human history had wonderful mentors or assistants to help them get to where they are . A good number of them also belonged to organizations that honed their skills and aided in their achievement of their important life goals .
While friends and family can support you , you ’ ll get better support from someone who is on a similar weight loss journey as you or from people who have been there and achieved results .
Additionally , to reach your weight loss goal , you may need to learn a few things you didn ’ t know before .
A Google search can often be of great help . The important thing here is to search .
Make a list of the people , groups and organizations that can help you in your quest . If you can ’ t identify more than just a couple , do some research .
You ’ re worth the amount of time you put into planning out your goal .
And this doesn ’ t mean you ’ ll use everything you listed but at least now you ’ ll know where to go for help .
