Key seven, circle of support, is the hardest key because you can't do it yourself, and you can't control others. Here's what Dr. Phil suggests for how to support — and make sure you don't sabotage — a loved one.

DOs


Remind me how much you care.


Trust in me.


Give me positive feedback.


Honor my behavior and actions.


Be patient with me.


Be honest about your feelings.


Laugh with me.

DONTs


Sabotage me with tempting foods.


Make fun of my program.


Make threats of separation.


Downplay the importance of my health.


Be threatened.


Call me names.


Put yourself down.
