Taking The Blinders Off

Something amazing about weight loss is that every single person I have ever worked with struggles to see the better options that are right in front of them. I’m not sure why it is, but they see challenges ahead and literally can’t see the strategies that are available to them.

We need to talk about what current challenges we’re facing and allow others to help by showing us the path that we can’t see. I’ve had so many people come to me in my courses with what feels like an impossible challenge ahead for them. They’re certain there’s no way they can handle it and that they will fail.

The others in the course can see it so freely, clearly and differently. They throw out endless ideas about the small things that can be done to overcome the challenge. It’s like a miracle to watch what happens for the person struggling. Suddenly they get all these new ideas that they never would have thought of on their own. They get to sift through all of these new ideas and settle on the strategies that seem realistic for them to try.

Talk about your challenges with a support system! You’ll see the light at the end of the tunnel and best of all? You walk out with a game plan and a hopeful attitude that creates success! There is ALWAYS another way to face a situation, but left alone we will never think of it. Support takes the blinders off!

There are endless ways to find support. To get you thinking, I have outlined some below. I reiterate that each of you will have a very specific type of support that will be comfortable for you. I recommend joining a group, it can be in-person or online. You owe it to yourself to at least give it a shot!

This challenging emotional, mental and physical battle is best done with outside eyes and ears listening in to help us figure out what is right in front of us. A few options to consider as support pathways would be:

  • Private in-person coaching

  • Online coaching in groups or alone

  • Social media support and motivation like the Target 100 private Facebook Group

  • Online weight loss communities

  • Non-profit community organizations

  • Friends and family

  • Workout buddies

  • Courses like the Target 100 Beginner’s Course on Sunday beginning 4/11/21 or Tuesday beginning 4/6/21!
