Support For Success > Cliff Sheats
For most people, sticking to a new diet or exercise program is easier if a spouse, family member, loved one, or friend makes the commitment too. That way, a supportive atmosphere for success is created. Typically, when one family member is successful, others follow. That was the case with Donna and Danny M. As Donna explains, “One day, I looked in the mirror, and said ‘No more.’ I looked so bad that I didn’t want to go anywhere or be with anyone. And I was tired of shopping at fat ladies’ stores. Finally, I started increasing my calories from nutritious foods, and it was like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.” Donna reduced her body fat considerably — from 27.4 percent to 15.5 percent. Meanwhile, her husband Danny had been steadily putting on body fat, year after year.
