When Your Spouse is Unsupportive

Why can't you just support me?   "This is it, I'm really doing
it this time, (insert diet here) is FINALLY the one that's going to
work, I'm pumped!" So you go tell your spouse/significant other
your plan and you just get a blank stare.  Or worse, eye
rolling, head shaking and negative comments, or WORSE outright
sabotage.  I mean you TOLD him you weren't doing carbs anymore
and he brought home pizza! What a jerk! So unsupportive.
  Or maybe you've embarked on something better than a diet,
like the Healthy Mind, Healthy Body Program; you're making small
healthy changes like taking walks, drinking more water, making more
meals at home, adding some veggies, and trying new healthier
recipes.  You're so excited about the healthy lifestyle you're
embarking on! But every time you ask your spouse to join you on a
walk they say no, or they won't eat the healthy meals you cook, or
they get mad when you won't watch TV because you want to get more
sleep, or they get frustrated that you'd rather eat in than go to
that fast food restaurant this week.     And then YOU get
frustrated because you don't understand why they're resisting these
healthy changes so much.  I mean if it's good for you, then
it's good for them and THEY could stand to lose a few pounds too!
 Not only do we want our spouse to support our endeavors, we
want them to join us, because we love them and we want THEM to be
healthier and happier too.     When you're trying to get
your spouse on board with a change you'd like to make, ANY TYPE of
change, there are some key things you need to do and NOT do.
 Trust me, there's a right and a wrong way to do this, and
most of us, even though our intentions are good, are going about it
all wrong.  Some of the advice in this episode could change
EVERYTHING in your relationship.      XOXO Tara

Program & Membership! Ditch the Diets and Finally Make Peace
with Food If you struggle with yo-yo dieting then you know how hard
it is to make any real lasting change.  Unfortunately most
women get stuck in the belief that being on a diet is the only way
to lose weight and get healthy, and when they inevitably fail
they’ve destroyed their self esteem, destroyed their relationship
with food, and get stuck in a guilt/shame spiral that starts the
whole process over again.   If you don’t understand how
reprogram your mind that is sabotaging you, and reprogram your body
for health, you’ll never make lasting progress.   That’s why I
created the Healthy Mind, Healthy Body Program; to teach
you how to make a real, lasting transformation in your Mind AND
Body.      REGISTRATION IS OPEN NOW!!
