The other day, my husband announced his intention to lose weight. After a strong run at getting in shape, he had fallen off the wagon just over a year ago. He was missing how well he felt and wanted to make a change.
Good for him, I thought. He’ll feel better and so will I, knowing that he’s taking care of himself. I hear the determination in his voice. So, my role as spouse and friend is to support him. I’ll support the lifestyle changes he wants to make. I will do my part to exercise with him, cook better meals, and watch my calories. I know he could do it, but I know if I support him that I will inspire him and give his goal more momentum.
Perhaps your spouse or friend is on a similar quest. Help him. Give him your undying support. Who knows? You will probably end up inspiring yourself.
