Listen to this episode of Weight Loss Winformation and listen to the signs that suggest people are WAY too invested in what other people think about them. If you ARE one of those people who care too much, you can also learn in this episode ways to dial back on the caring meter. Listen in and find what fits for YOU! The Weight Loss Winformation Podcast gives you essential psychological information to help you lose weight and more importantly, to help keep you at a healthy weight for your body! No matter how you are working to lose weight and no matter how much weight you want to lose, Weight Loss Winformation will keep you moving in a positive direction.
