There are many complex reasons that make weight loss a challenge, reasons that go deeper than simply calories-in versus calories-out. I’m talking about the life issues that get in the way of your success. Read the following 5 obstacles and the solutions to unlock your best body ever. 1. You don’t want to be bothered. It’s in your DNA to avoid pain and seek out pleasure. Unfortunately, this works against you when trying to get fit.
