Dieting?
Don't Go It Alone!

Losing weight can be a struggle, but it needn't be a lonely one. If your diet isn't working, you may just need a companion.

Social support is critical to successful lifestyle change - especially weight loss, says Howard J. Rankin, Ph.D. The more support, the more likely your success.

Their support can provide:

• Practical Help... with recipes, child care and other daily needs.
• Companionship... to share and lighten your experience.
• Accountability... to having you report on your progress.
• Encouragement... for critical reassurance through setbacks.
• Inspiration... seeing the success of others.

The trick is to identify what you need and who can help you get it. Then ask!
