Should I share my healthy eating goals with other people?

When you set healthy eating goals, you might want to keep them to yourself. After all, you probably want to avoid other people’s unwanted input into what you’re doing, and you might worry that people will judge you if you don’t reach the goals you have shared.

However, sharing goals can be helpful to keep you motivated and hold you accountable. The important key is to choose who you share your goals with carefully.

Ideally, aim to surround yourself with people who share your healthy eating goals and can offer positive encouragement to keep you motivated. This might be your partner, siblings, close friends, or those at your local gym who are also into staying healthy. Remember, an accountability partner should never make you feel ashamed or discouraged. Their role is to support you. When sharing your healthy eating goals with someone, consider letting them know how they can best support you. This will provide useful guidance to help ensure you get the support you need and want.
