Wellness Tuesday: The Power of Accountability
One important factor to weight loss is the power of accountability. For years, I struggled to lose weight but had no accountability partner. Mama and I tried to hold one another accountable, but quickly discovered that as I’ve previously written about; we enabled one another more than we held one another accountable.
A friend and I decided to hold one another accountable to exercise and eat healthy. 
A few of the benefits of an accountability partner I discovered, are:
- We encourage one another when we struggle
- I didn’t want to tell my accountability partner I’d not exercised
- A safe place {or person} to share
- Someone with the same struggles and/or goals
- A person to exercise with {if you live close to one another—unfortunately my accountability partner is across the country}
- Someone to pray for you
- Someone to challenge you
I have to admit that in the last few months, we have gotten off tracks. I have reminded myself the reason for an accountability partner and that it is time to get back on track.
How has an accountability partner benefited you?
