Weight Loss Basics -- ResourcesAuthor: Ulf Wolf(Seventh in a Series) Help Pride and independence often tell us the story we want to hear: we can do this on our own, we know we can; we don’t need any help. That may well be true if you only have ten or so pounds to lose to get into last year’s dress for a party. Live on lemon juice for a week or two while you treadmill yourself ragged for two hours a day. Sure, you’ll get into that dress—though you probably won’t again a couple of weeks after the party. If, however, you’re facing a long-term weight loss project of fifty, seventy-five, one hundred pounds or more—and especially if you’ve tried, and failed, a few times already—it’s time to swallow your pride and acknowledge that, yes, you could do with a hand here.
