Do you have an accountability partner?

[Heatman]

Having an accountability partner when you're dieting is something that's very good because the person is going to like your checks and balances. If you're trying to break your diet, he or she is going to keep you in line. 

 

Do you have an accountability partner? How helpful have your partner been for you?

Not in real life, at least not anymore. In the past I tried signing "diet contracts" with a friend. We even had penalties for breaking the agreement, but we never enforced them. It was still based on the honor system, and if I confessed to going off plan and "breaking the contract" this usually just drew out a confession from the other person that they too went off plan.

In the past it was solely about weight. Today it is about health, so I am more driven and committed. My "accountability partners" are communities like this one, and being focused on helping others following a similar dietary lifestyle to remain encouraged.

No, I don’t need one. I’m not weak and when I set my mind to do something I generally don’t fail.
Between my veteran father and my time in the military I was taught how to stay hard and never give up.

I have been able to focus on getting it right myself.  I don't need any partner to ensure that I do what I feel that it is the right thing to do when it comes to dieting and my health in general. I want to always be sure to get it right, and I have had better success doing that.

I would also add that while I don’t need an accountability partner I do like the inspiration I get from forums like this one. They help me stay motivated.

This is true. Joining forums where you get to see the struggles and successes of others that are trying to lose weight has been helpful. I always believe that it is such a good idea getting to be part of a community like this, which is why I joined.

In addition to communities like Carnivore Talk and some others, I also like keeping up with YouTube videos from carnivore diet doctors and influencers.

It's easier to stay faithful when you keep feeding your mind with the right information.
