When we set out to change our weight we are in reality changing much more than our weight. We are taking the first steps toward a drastic life style change. This is especially true for those who have more than a few pounds to lose. A person who loses thirty, forty, fifty or more pounds will not be the same person they were before they lost the weight. They will not react to the world around them the same and the world around them will not react to them the same. They will not want to participate in the same activities that they participated in when they were heavy. They won’t even laugh at the same jokes.
It is true, as well, that successfully losing weight requires a lot of outside support. We all look to our family and friends for support in many aspects of our lives but losing weight is one endeavor that really does require the support of others who are traveling or have traveled the same path. Although our family and friends may well want to give us their full support while we lose those many unwanted pounds, they aren’t the ones who can understand or appreciate the day to day (sometimes minute to minute) struggles and temptations that we face.
When you combine the facts of life style change with the need for support, the obvious solution of the combined needs is a weight loss support group.
A weight loss support group need not be one of the well-known ones that we will be discussing here. A weight loss support group can be a loosely knit group of people who join together in a joint effort to lose weight and support one another in the process. Many such groups are formed just among groups of friends or among groups of co-workers everyday and many are very successful.
Weight loss support groups offer the opportunity for those wanting and needing to lose weight to form new friendships, to learn about food and exercise from one another, to give and get support, and one more important thing....they provide an opportunity to win.
Friendships are naturally formed between people who have common goals. Solid bonds can be formed between people who under other circumstances would never become allies when they are faced with a common enemy....in this instance over weight....the battle of the bulge.....food temptations. These things become the common enemy of a weight loss group and friendships are the natural product of fighting a common enemy.
