I think it's absolutely fine to seek support for any medical/health condition. It allows people to put another view point on the situation without being emotionally involved, people can soon get stuck in a rut, like you - I'm a lazy mare
. We have a treadmill upstairs ..........
It can allow people to review what they eat daily, weekly, monthly. It allows one to see how many 'treats' are allowed or which are in fact, allowed in the over-all diet. i.e. chocolate is good for us.
Himself cut out alcohol in November, he needs to lose oh ever-so-much ........ and has been hungry without complaining. We already have a healthy diet but he does enjoy his tipple. He stuck after 3 months
but we know that more exercise won't do us any harm. However, in our current state/s - heavy cold, coughing, snuffling, sneezing .......... it'll be next week
M in L lost weight by picking a diet then weighing every thing so that by the end of the day, each saucer that was empty meant that she had done OK and if the saucer was empty by lunch time, well that was it! she had to wait until the next day for butter etc.. She lost well and maintained a healthy weight there after.
She came from a big boned over-weight family prone to late-onset diabetes.
Good Luck!
