A Teenager Tuning In...

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone,

Since I can remember, this weight loss war has been sending me to the

darkest corner. Since IOWL, I have been taking minor steps to come to

the light.

I am only about 15 going on 16 so I need any tips on just staying on

track, anything helps. So thanks to for starting the podcast and

I am looking forward to meeting fellow Inside Out Weight Losers.

We all lose more to gain more.

HI,

I'm new here myself. I'm impressed that someone your age has taken a such

positive and proactive step toward improving your health. The first steps are

the most important ones, and you have chosen an excellent path.

I can make one suggestion based on your post: Don't frame your weight loss

efforts as a " war " . Think of it more as a " quest, " a journey along which you

will encounter many obstacles and enjoy many successes. Every obstacle you

overcome will put you that much closer to your goal. Every setback you

experience (and EVERYONE experiences those) will teach you how to do it better

next time. A great coach once said, " failure is the fertilizer of success. "

So don't imagine your journey is a " war " in which you will suffer " casualties "

if you lose " battles. " Instead, think of it as a journey. And nothing and no one

can stop you, except you. You can do it.

Best of luck!

Steve
