ROSIE - Love and Support

Looking back on my personal training days, one of the things I think some of my clients found hardest about sticking to a healthy diet and lifestyle (once they'd made the commitment to it), was fitting it in with their family life. Men notoriously can do a lot more damage to their bodies and, certainly in the short term, get away with it... so that when my ladies (as most of my clients were ladies) tried to give their husbands and children a healthy meal, a lot of them turned their noses up at it and wanted their normal fare!


Women, particularly working mothers, also have notoriously little time for themselves, to go the gym or whatever it is exercise-wise that they do. This is the thing that tends to be sacrificed as it's not a "necessity", certainly children are their number one priority.


So, man or woman, husband or wife, son or daughter - whoever - I beg of you. If one of your loved ones is making a commitment to get healthy, be it by eating better, exercising more or whatever it is they are doing - please support them! It's hard enough to make a decision to do this, let alone START doing it, and sticking to it is even worse, particularly when you are being led astray by "loved ones". Think about how much you love them and how important your support is for them. Just little things can make all the difference and let them know that you are behind them all the way - and can be the difference between them falling off the wagon and not.
