Twitter topic of the day: Who do you depend on for support in your diet & exercise journey?

This post is from my twitter daily tips / topic of the day. Follow me on Twitter @ezhomefitness

My #questionoftheday is who do you depend on for support in your #diet & #exercise journey?

Some people, such as myself, depend on only themselves to diet & exercise. This takes a very disciplined and self-motivating mindset. It's not easy with constant temptations and with those around you eating differently or telling you that you don't need to do it, etc. Most people though need a support system of sorts. Whether its a family member, friend, training partner, personal trainer, etc. Just someone to help hold you accountable when things get tough and the mind gets weak. When looking for someone to support you though, you need to find someone who keeps your best interests in mind and puts you first. You have to find someone that has your agenda as their priority and that you can put your trust in that they will keep you accountable. It also is important that the person you choose as your support system know what pitfalls, plateaus, stumbling blocks, etc. may occur. You don't want your support system being with someone who doesn't know what to do when you hit an obstacle. No blind leading the blind. Instead find someone who understands the process, understands your goals and understands what it takes to get to your goal. Having that someone that can tell you what you're doing wrong can eliminate so many mistakes and lead to faster progress than you'd do alone. Even for the self-motivated, having a support system is important. Just having someone letting you know they see progress is motivating. Don't discount the use of a support system or the benefits of it. It could be key in your progress and seeing results.
