Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can't be done.
Bo Bennet
Did you ever find yourself doing the same thing over and over and over and getting the same old tired results? I think everyone has. Over the years on this board (about 5 now) I have seen the successes of so many people and the failures of even more unfortunately. What makes those succeed? And what makes those fail?
First and foremost those that succeed really have their "head on the game", meaning they are following the plan, just working hard at it. Some days, some weeks are better than others but they always keep a positive mental attitude because the one thing they have realized is if the scale or other things are not moving they are actually feeling better, blood work is coming into focus, BP is coming down, whatever metabolic issues they have. They are committed and actionable and they are in it from the long haul.
Some of you will remember Nurse Debbie, who was on the staff with the Drs. Eadeses and who we had as a regular guest and also hosted chats one evening a week. She was such a great source of knowledge. One of her telling thiings with the low carb way of eating was broken down into three categories:
The first were the people who did low carb, or anything for that matter because it was "the in thing". It was the new diet or whatever buzz words surrounded it.
The second group were the people who understood low carb but were doing it not to be healthy but to quickly lose a few pounds, or a lot of pounds.
The last group, who she felt would be most successful, took the time to understand the program, followed it with all the factors and became healthier.
Where is your program at? What are your goals?
something to think about... have a great day!
