supporter<\/em>, or server.\u00a0 These baby-steppers are usually people-pleasers. They honestly care about others, but being appreciated is important, too.\u00a0 You won\u2019t see them taking the lead, but they will be good followers.\u00a0 Leaders love them.<\/p>\nThey are patient, good listeners, and will persevere when others fall by the wayside.\u00a0 Supporters don\u2019t like change.\u00a0 Even if they don\u2019t like the way things are going — changing directions is scary.\u00a0 If they do make a change, they don\u2019t want anything big or risky.<\/p>\n
So how do supporters do on the low glycemic\/step plan?\u00a0 Great — once they get started.\u00a0 It\u2019s deciding to take the plunge that will hold supporters back. The step plan is perfect for supporters, because it doesn\u2019t involve expense or large chunks of time.\u00a0 The meal plan involves eating real food, not crazy, strange stuff or prepackaged food that is expensive.\u00a0 Nothing is intimidating and everything is doable, which makes it tailer-made for the supporter.<\/p>\n
How does a supporter get moving on a healthy living plan? Often supporters will jump onboard to help someone they care about.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll do it to help you, if you will go on the plan,\u201d they might tell a husband or daughter.\u00a0 And, the sacrifices are not too difficult, if they are made for someone the supporter loves.<\/p>\n
So — if you are a supporter, find someone to support!\u00a0 I\u2019m positive you have a friend or family member who needs a healthier lifestyle.\u00a0 Call them up and ask\u00a0 if they will be an accountability partner for you.\u00a0 Working together you can help each other to success.<\/p>\n
If you do a Couch to 5K program, you will be more likely to succeed if you are training\u00a0 for a run with a cause.\u00a0 Planning to run on a team for the Susan G. Koman Race for the Cure, or for some other cause close to your heart will keep you motivated and moving.<\/p>\n
You have lots of strengths.\u00a0 Don\u2019t be afraid to use them!<\/p>\n
Eating to live and living for Christ,<\/em>
