PICKING YOUR TEAM
Putting together a winning team—one that can fully support you—is
essential
to your transformation success. These point people have the potential to make your journey a lot easier and more exhilarating. Once you identify some potential supporters, ask yourself four questions:
Do I trust them wholeheartedly?
Do I feel comfortable telling them anything?
Am I certain that they won’t judge me or chew me out if I fall?
Can I confess to them again and again, knowing that they’ll always thank me for my honesty?
So where do you find possible teammates? What kind of people should they be? Answer: people who already have what you want. It might seem difficult to find good point people. Possibly, there’s no one you know who meets the criterion. Don’t worry, it’s
not a problem
. There are so many places to find open, compassionate people who share your journey. They might even need their own point people!
This questionnaire will get you thinking about who’d make the best TEAM YOU players.
My goal is:
What are the emotional, physical, and lifestyle characteristics of a person who has achieved this goal?
What do I need to change about myself or my life to become this person?
Who do I know who’s achieved my goal? Who’s currently pursuing my goal or one like it?
Does each of them have a positive attitude? Would each of them be a good cheerleader for me?
Who will I ask right now to be a member of my support team?
Where might I meet other people who have achieved or are currently pursuing my goal (gym, health food store, hobby, club, etc.)?
What websites or online communities might connect me with these like-minded people?
Which three places will I go to first to start meeting people who might belong on my support team?

SUCCESS STORY #3: RACHEL
When Rachel was a little girl, she was sure that God had big plans for her, that He had something special in mind just for her. She knew she was a little different: She was the only one in her family with brown eyes, and she was the only one who struggled with weight problems. Growing up with four brothers and sisters, she’d come home from church and share a big, Southern family dinner, eating sometimes as much as 2,400 calories in one meal! Afterward, while clearing the table, she’d eat even more.
Rachel kept getting chunkier, so she had to stop doing some of the things she loved. She loved adrenaline rushes, but when she was thirteen she had to get off a ride at an amusement park because she didn’t fit in the seat. Even though she was deeply embarrassed, she didn’t let her feelings show. She fit in at school by being the smart, funny, outgoing kid. Despite her size, she was athletic, playing on the basketball team. Her only problem was her weight. By the time
