Many Different Stories That Simply Empower

You have to be in the right mindset to be successful at losing weight and maintaining weight loss. In each story shared here, various strategies and techniques are utilized within the scope of lifestyle, personality, and personal goals, while still allowing for achievable rewards. I appreciated how these stories address all the seemingly insurmountable excuses, challenges, and obstacles standing in the way with humor and lightness. The struggle is real for each and every one of us. Hearing of others failures and successes may be just the motivation needed to make positive changes while maintaining a realistic mindset and attitude to achieve health and weight loss goals. Relatable feelings, experiences, and setbacks paired with encouraging and satisfying results make this an inspiring read.
The one thing I found frustrating about this read was the fact that the personal stories didn't touch more on the struggles, the emotions and the feelings of doubt. I know in a way thats not really a positive thing to write about however it's realistic and every person struggles with those thoughts, feelings and emotions of doubt and excuses when it comes to exercising.
