Atkins Diet worked for my girlfriend

My girlfriend called today and we went to a craft fair. It was held in three separate schools. I was proud of myself...I didnt' buy a thing. My girlfriend made quite a few booth owners happy today.

She told me she has lost 35 pounds since January 28th. She wasn't even big to begin with. She must be about a size 9. I asked her how she did it. She has been on the Atkins diet. She said this is the only one that has worked for her.

I tried the Atkins diet once, but just couldn't eat such a restrictive diet. My mouth always seems to taste like a Slim Jim. I also had two employees that used that diet....as soon as they went off, they gained their weight back.

I realize that this weight loss, no matter what method you use to your goal, it has to be a permanent life style change. It's just that the road to get there, is ever so windy and such an uphill battle.

Time to drink some more water.

Well done Chris. You are so right. Thinking about it like a Diet just sets us up to fail as soon as it is over. Thinking of it like a lifestyle change sets us up to achieve everything we ever want.

Will it be hard - yes.
Will it get frustrating - yes.
Will you want to throw the towel in from time to time - yes
Will it be worth it in the end - ABSOLUTELY.

You can do this Chris. No tricks. No games. Simple maths. Energy in verses Energy out. You can do it.

Hope you have a great week :D

Indeed, it is all about a lifestyle change. I think re-evaluating what you are doing is always a good practice - whether it's in weightloss, career, business, personal relationships. It's the only way to keep making progress.

Keep at it dear! Best wishes to you.
