    Episode 281: This is What Healthy Support Looks Like!

    You hear me talk all the time about the critical importance of having HEALTHY support as you go through the weight loss process and especially as you work to maintain weight loss! This is true when treating the disease of obesity, all other chronic diseases, and life situations like losing a job, or being a long-term caretaker for a loved one, becoming an empty nester and dealing with any stressful situation in life. It’s also great to have healthy support people in your life to celebrate joyful and successful situations! In my 37 years of recovering from the chronic disease of addiction, I have known what it is like to have healthy support! My best friend and the person I can trust to celebrate the good things in my life, talk me through and be there with me through the difficult times in life, and give me the biggest hugs and most loving kicks in the shorts when I need them joins me in this episode. Together, we’ll share what it has looked like over these 37 years to be the healthiest of healthy support people for each other! Plus we’ll share some of the most fun antics we’ve shared over time! The Weight Loss Winformation Podcast gives you essential psychological information to help you lose weight and more importantly, to help keep you at a healthy weight for your body! No matter how you are working to lose weight and no matter how much weight you want to lose, Weight Loss Winformation will keep you moving in a positive direction.
