Living a healthy lifestyle can be very lonely if you do not have a group together making changes. Some helpful tips.
1. The most obvious: get a group of your friends to make changes with you. This could include eating healthy meals together, exercising together, or even gentle reminders to stay on the supplements.
2. Make some goals for yourself. Try to make your goal something you are really looking forward to but something you can live without until you reach your goal.
3. Get your family involved (whether they know it or not). No I'm not trying to drag anyone into health kicking and screaming - even if it might be good for them - but you could offer to cook some meals, find a gym with a family discount, try to wind down each night so everybody can get a full night's sleep and do some de-stress activities.
4. Plan your "cheat" days to be days out with your friends or family. By having a "cheat" day, you can eat whatever you want whenever you want and not have to worry about the calorie count or amount of veggies or how many glasses of water....ect.
5. When you start feeling better or losing inches - TALK to your friends and family about it. Let them know and see how great you feel and that you can live a healthy lifestyle without giving up your "old" lifestyle.
At my house, my spouse, and step-daughter switched over to a healthy lifestyle at the beginning of this year. We are eating healthier meals, taking supplements and exercising. Not too much complaining but it has only been a little over a week.
