In this episode we talk about how to deal with peer pressure and judgement when starting a healthier lifestyle.Know your WHY - you MUST have a deeper connection to the emotional side of losing weight/why you want to change.Having crucial conversations with family and friends. Ask for their support and be specific with what you need from them...they don’t know how to help unless you tell them...i.e. Fam/Friends asking you to go out every Friday, bringing you ice cream when they get some, asking to order out when theres already a plan. Educate yourself - understand why you’re changing and the connection of those changes to other areas. i.e. I feel better when I don't drink as I don't wake up in the middle of the night/improved sleep, better digestion with less bloating/gas/constipation and I have more energy.Realize that the comments from other people are due to their own insecurities. Often they are projecting onto you.Sometimes you need to draw a line in the sand - until you build the discipline, you need to you may have to say no for a bit.Have a plan - think about things ahead of time, bring foods/drinks or decide what you're going to order before you go out rather than letting the environment influence you.Be PROUD of who you are - be proud of being healthy and picking the salad when everyone else is eating greasy burgers, be proud of working out even if it is inconvenient.  Be proud of what you are working to accomplish and it becomes much easier to adhere to your plan!Download our metabolic blueprint here if you can relate to the symptoms we talk about that are associated with chronically dieting.Click HERE to more about our Metabolic Prehab™️ program!
