Changing habits is much easier when you've got a good support system. If you can stay on an eating program with a partner, it's so much simpler. There's less risk of someone undermining your efforts, or weakening your resolve!
We feel so strongly about this that we offer a "Buddy Discount" for partners or friends enrolling together in our OPTIFAST Program.
My son Tim and I are "buddies." Some days, he has more strength than I do. And some days, I encourage him. When we get to talking, it's easy for us to recapture our motivation if we're having a moment of challenge.
I've seen many people use the buddy system for walking, rowing, running, going to the gym -- or even for quitting smoking. We need each other as we make life changes.
We're all in this together.
