I am a big believer in accountability.  Who can help you be accountable to the goals and action steps that you set for yourself?  You may have a supportive friend who can act as an accountability buddy.  Or perhaps you would like to hire a coach.

Last week we discussed setting a goal for yourself of meeting your romantic life partner and creating a plan of action.  Being intentional about what to do and pointing yourself in the right direction is essential.   However, it’s more important to TAKE ACTION!  Sitting around at home and wishing for stuff to happen won’t really help you.

With the wealth of real opportunities and real solutions to weight loss in our nation, we must be surprised to find that we are literally the heaviest people on earth right now. There are so many reasons we can come up with to find the underlying causes for this – we don’t have to think very hard.

Step 1: Get to know yourself.

This may sound trite and yet it is really true. You need to take some time and get reacquainted with yourself. Ask yourself some very crucial relationship questions: What do you want for yourself at this point in time? What’s your vision of your life? Do you live in the big city or on a country estate?
