156: Fat Loss, Family & Friends

<p>I get a lot of questions about fat loss, family & friends. I guess, more specifically, I hear from a lot of people that their family & friends make their fat loss more difficult.</p> <p>Today, I want to tackle those challenges (and I do believe they can be simply tackled without trading in your friends or abandoning your family).</p> <p>A lot of this comes down to personal responsibility & understanding that you are the only one controlling what does (or doesn't) go into your mouth.</p> <p>But, I totally know it's not as easy as simply ignoring other people's comments, questions or challenges. So today we're tackling fat loss, family & friends from both tactical & mindset standpoints.</p> <p><a href="http://primalpotential.com/156-fat-loss-family-friends">http://primalpotential.com/156-fat-loss-family-friends</a></p> <h2>Fat Loss, Family & Friends</h2> <p>In today's episode I cover some of the most common challenges I hear about between fat loss, family and friends including:</p> <ul> <li>How to tell your friends that you're trying to make healthier choices without coming across as judgemental</li> <li>How to handle fear of missing out in social situations if you choose not to drink or indulge</li> <li>How to indulge in social situations without going overboard</li> <li>How to handle an unsupportive spouse or partner</li> <li>The ways by which you might be setting your partner up to be negative about the changes you're making</li> <li>How to handle a partner or kids who don't want to eat the healthier food you're preparing</li> <li>How to handle situations when your children or partner bring tempting foods into the house</li> </ul> <p>Quotes in today's episode</p> <blockquote> <p>If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month. ~ Theodore Roosevelt</p> </blockquote>
