I forgot how tough LCE is

The toughest part of low carb is getting started, making it a lifestyle, weeding out the old habits and mind-sets.

Thinking about the positive aspects of low carb goes a long way in helping you stick to your resolve to eat this healthy way.

One day you'll wake up and realize that this has truly become a way of eating for you, and that it's your preferred way of eating, because of how good you feel. You'll look at high carb foods with disdain rather than longing, knowing that they are your poison, and what they do to your body. Then you'll say, "Wow, this is so easy!"

Babygirl, the first few days are always the hardest. Depending on what your habits were like before, what all is going on in your life, and the kind of food and people around you, there can be extra challenges to figure out. It seems to be part of the process much of the time.

Never worry about getting off track; just keep coming back to what you know works for you. If there are specific challenges you're having a tough time with, you may want to post about it to the forums and see if others may be able to offer ideas or encouragement to help get you over the hump.
