Basketball and Team
As the great ex-UCLA Bruin basketball coach John Wooden once said, "The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team." Although the concept of teamwork may be pushed into the minds and hearts of children with the likes of posters telling us that, "There is no I in TEAM," the importance of this concept can never be understated.
I would like to look at this quote as it relates to weight controllers. As an overweight person starts his journey, several things influence his success. They include support, determination, and knowledge, amongst others. But one aspect of successful weight control that can sometimes be overlooked is what sort of people a weight controller chooses to surround himself with. A weight controller's supporting cast can help influence what sort of decisions he makes. The "rest of the team" can help the weight controller stay focused on his weight loss program. A friend or acquaintance who is also working on losing weight can be a huge support if the weight controller has hit a roadblock in his program. Having somebody to lean on that understands what the weight controller is going through is invaluable.
Personally, I am working on developing my supporting cast of fellow weight controllers. Although it is a process, I know that finding people that can help me through my struggles is vital to my success.
