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.
