Summary
I know that many of you don't have the support of your family & friends as it relates to your health or weight loss goals.
I've been getting an increasing number of emails from folks looking for ways to address family & friends who don't support their goals.
Recently in one of my Fat Loss Fast Track groups there was a conversation about spouses who bring home tempting foods on a regular basis.
Should you try to gain their support? What if you can't? In today's episode we're talking about how to crush your goals even when you don't have the support of your family & friends. Don't miss it!

| 0:48.8 | Because this is all about living into your potential. And I know that you are capable of |
| 0:56.7 | creating so much. And it's just about taking advantage of little opportunities to do just that. |
| 1:05.5 | So we're going to talk about what seems to be a pretty common challenge. And it's coming because |
| 1:11.6 | I have received a few emails lately from people who are asking how you go about successful fat loss |

| 1:36.9 | to establish. Or maybe their friends are encouraging them, oh come on, live a little, have the pizza, |
| 1:42.3 | like have the drink, who cares, start tomorrow, live a little bit, right? And even emails from people |
| 1:48.2 | who feel like they're being downright discouraged. People don't believe in them and kind of tease them |
