In the United States, an estimated 36% of Americans are obese and 62% are at least over weight. Not only is this number a sad wake up call to many of us, but it also means that the number of people trying to lose weight is high.
The good news in this, is that it shouldn’t be hard for anyone to find a friend to share this journey with ~ you are not alone in this. By finding a friend that is also trying to lose weight, you can give and receive the support that is necessary to reach the finish line and help change that statistic.
A friend can help keep you accountable to your goal. Anyone is more likely to push themselves to get to the gym if they know a friend is there waiting on them. We are also likely to call our friend to share our feelings instead of running to the refrigerator.
Even online friends can be a great help. So, what are you waiting for ~ find that special friend to lean on today!
