Because I have Been There - Stay On Track

Because I have been there too....

I can't tell you how many times I had
CONVINCED myself that I was on the right "tracK"
and that I was going to get thin FOR REAL this
time...

I was eating healthy and being really careful
and "conscious" about everything I put into my
mouth.

And then something would happen, and I would
give into temptation and I would pig out.

Then instead of forgiving myself and jumping
right back on the horse (so to speak), I would
just give up and tell myself how hard it was to
eat healthy and lose weight.

What I didn't understand at the time, was that
it wasn't my willpower that needed to get stronger,
or my motivation that needed to be built up...

It was my attitude about how I treated these
"cheats" that needed to change.

And once I got an attitude adjustment, it
was like someone turned the lights on... and my
entire beliefs about getting healthy and losing
weight transformed.

See, now I do sometimes still cheat and have a
day where I go "hog wild" and eat like crap...

But I forgive myself quickly because I now
know that cheating is a part of the process to
getting healthy for a lifetime.

And you can even learn an important lesson
every time you cheat - forgiveness.

To better explain this, here's a story taken
directly from my eBook "How To Lose Weight By
Feeding And Nourishing Your Spirit".

I have gotten a lot of great feedback on this
story, and I think you might find some things in
it that can help you learn how to forgive yourself
quickly and move on when you have a cheat day (or
two, or three).
