External factors, such as social support and environmental influences, play a significant role in enabling or hindering an individual's ability to develop the "three Ws" for weight management success. Social support, whether from friends, family, or a support group, can provide encouragement, accountability, and motivation for individuals to stay committed to their weight management goals. On the other hand, negative social influences or lack of support can hinder progress and make it challenging to maintain consistency. Environmental factors, such as access to healthy food options, safe spaces for physical activity, and a supportive community, can also impact an individual's ability to cultivate willingness, consistency, and commitment for successful weight management. By recognizing and addressing these external factors, individuals can create a conducive environment that supports their efforts towards long-term weight management success.
