Essentially, it’s peer pressure of the most positive kind.

The goal is harness it to help you get over that hump when beginning to make changes for the better. You know, that internal resistance we all come up against when trying to change long ingrained habits.

In addition to that, having others in your corner in the role of cheerleader, coach or accountability partner is one of the KEY elements to your success at weight loss.

Read This Before You Weigh Yourself

Ah, the scale. Could there be a non-lethal inanimate object that provokes more emotion?

In a recent conversation at boot camp I mentioned that I normally discourage frequent weighing of oneself because it usually leads to one of two reactions:

Reaction #1: You lose what you are expecting or more and you’re so happy with yourself that you get a ‘lil over confident. You start to think: “I can have a little more of “X” because I did good on the scale today.”

Is this rocket science or what?

Truthfully, the longer I’m in the fitness industry the more I’m starting to think that it is ….. or at least that what everyone seems to be making it into.

There are so many sources telling you that you “should” do this and “never” do that.

The problem is the “should” and “never” very well may be referring to the exact same thing!

Yeah, you’ll be doing this for the rest of your life…. this whole working out and eating clean thing.

One way or the other it’s happening.

Think about it:

You’re either totally hooked on living your best life. You’re addicted to the push and the sweat and hard work that comes along with training consistently. You love how whole, real foods makes you feel. You can’t imagine NOT living the fit lifestyle.

Or perhaps eating clean and working out aren’t your most favorite (whaaat?) but you know that to keep at a reasonable body composition (how much fat vs how much muscle) and general health, you need to keep some things in check.

Lastly, and I hope this doesn’t happen, perhaps you’ve neglected your self-care for too long and now you are under doctors’ orders to make changes to the way you move and eat to preserve your life.

So see, no matter how you slice it, we’re all in this for life.

With that said, unless you’re a fitness model, figure competitor or professional sports athlete, you need to figure out a way to make your eating and movement doable for life.
