One of the things I commonly hear from clients is that they do not know if they have the will power to stick to a program. Well, I have great news for you! Your will power is NOT your only source of strength.
Let’s face it; we all fall to temptation from time to time. If we did not, the world would be a perfect place and we all know it is far from that. We do not have to depend on our strength alone to help us stay on track. When we have the support of a wellness coach, we can always turn to them for that extra strength to say no when we should. Many programs like WAVES Take Shape for Life and My Herbal Plan offer fantastic free coaching services with their program. I have personally utilized both of them to get to my goal.
In addition, we should have a circle of friends and family that know our goal and help support us along the way. Remember to grown your circle of support friends by finding others that have similar goals. A great place to find others with the same goal is at weight loss challenges ~ both online and at local locations.
Lastly but most importantly, we can rely on the strength of the Lord! God’s strength and wisdom are limitless. When we feel that we cannot take another day, when the temptation seems greater than we can resist, when our emotions or stress level seems out of control, God will see us through. Just like we have to tell others when we need support, God instructs us to ask it of Him.
Now, don’t worry if you don’t have that great of willpower, just stop rely on your willpower alone. Next stop, the finish line! Let’s get those weight loss and health goals in sight!
