029: Making Diet & Fitness a Family Affair
Today’s episode comes to us from a listener question I received after the Diet and Fitness episode last month. Our listener said that he would like to try the low carb diet because he is heavier than he’s ever been and he wanted some advice as to how to get his wife on board with the diet.
Right up front I have to say that I don’t really believe we can get anyone to do anything that they don’t want to do. We can educate them and make things easy, but ultimately if they don’t want to do it there isn’t much we can do to change their mind. Rather than focusing on them, it is much more effective to focus on ourselves, our goals, and our motivations. Don’t let someone else’s lack of interest be your excuse for inaction! In the end, the best way to motivate someone else is to show them your own success.
So in this episode, rather than focusing on how to convince other people, I’ll discuss a few of the challenges you can expect and ways you can set yourself up for success, even if no one else in your family wants to try the low carb diet. Enjoy!
