Research continues to support the concept of relying on friends and your social network to help you achieve your fitness and health goals. Working out with a friend, getting to know other people at your health club, using the Internet to connect with others on similar weight-loss journeys -- all of these things help. Go on your fitness journey with a friend or a group of friends and you'll have a much better chance at success.
Don't hang around others who negatively affect your self-esteem or tempt you into living an unhealthy lifestyle. A support network is important in changing bad habits. Stick with those who lift you up instead of bringing you down. Keeping a journal of your moods and emotions throughout the day may open your eyes to how certain people may be affecting you -- in good or bad ways.
