We discussed the many factors including shame that keep people from seeking help and taking important steps towards getting healthy, why it’s important to meet people where they are, provide support and accountability, and give them an actionable plan to follow that will get them where they want to go and how it’s never to late with Rocky Haire and Valerie Maclin, Founders of SKINNY, a comprehensive weight loss program, meeting people where they are and helping them get back to living a healthy lifestyle.    Listen to learn why even when things seem out of reach or impossible to achieve, the first step is the most important so you’ve just got to get started!
