Weight Maintenance Trick #4 - Accountability

When it comes to losing or maintaining weight, going it alone is hard. I'll admit, I'm much more likely to eat healthy when I know that someone else will be checking my food diary. The same goes for my workout journal. It seems that when subjected to the light of someone else's scrutiny, suddenly all the excuses and justifications I made to myself don't sound as convincing. So when you're trying to lose weight, eat healthy, exercise more, or any combination of the above, don't be afraid to enlist help. Whether it's hiring a trainer, enlisting a trusted friend or family member, or joining an online community, a little accountability can go a long way toward keeping you on your path.
