If you are working towards getting fit, it is a certainty that you too will encounter major obstacles on your way to your goal weight.

Usually, these actions aren’t malicious, just ignorant of the damage that they can do to your overall fitness goals. If you feel that people who are important in you life are sabotaging your fitness plan, simply inform them of how important you weight loss goals
