@phobiazbroe: My mom had me in weight watchers at 8 years old and I STILL reached 325 lbs by 18… She did everything a supportive parent could do, but nothing worked. Not because the resources weren’t there. They were. I had everything handed to me on a silver platter and none of it mattered. The reason those things didn’t work is simple: I didn’t want it for myself yet. And when you don’t truly want it for yourself, nothing external is going to carry you through the hard parts. You’ll always find your way back to where you started. Looking back, I genuinely believe that if my situation was completely reversed with no support, no resources, nobody in my corner… BUT I had the internal drive to change, I would have figured it out years sooner. Because that desire is worth more than any program, any coach, or any amount of money someone puts in front of you. What finally worked for me wasn’t just a new approach, it was realizing that staying the same was more uncomfortable than doing the work. And once that switch flipped, nobody had to convince me of anything.
