katlupe's Low Carb Eating Plan

Fall is here in upstate New York and I look around and wonder where did our summer go? I think people do that with their lives every day. They keep saying I will do this when I have more money. I will do this when I get married. I will do this when I have children. I will do this when I am older, when I am thinner, when I am _________ whatever.

I know I am guilty of this myself. You cannot put things off that you want to do because you just might never do them. I make goal lists now every day. I keep them on my desktop and check them every morning. I admit my goal lists are not earth shattering things like hiking around the world or exploring the tropical rain forests. There are many things I have started doing around my home that I would never have done by now because I kept putting them on the back burner.

Many times losing weight is exactly one of those things you put off. Keep putting it off and you never start. I know a few people who talk about how they lost weight easily on Dr. Atkins, but they have some excuse why they can't do it right now. And what is happening to them now? Yep! You guessed it......they keep getting heavier and keep having more health problems. Those health problems keep being more serious each time.

Now how many people will put off starting a diet because the holidays are coming and they don't want to be restricted by following a food plan at that time? Almost everyone starts their diets or new exercise programs on the new year......after they ate themselves silly the night before. Just think if you started now in October, what would you look like on New Year's Day 2010? When everyone is just starting their new diet.......you will be 68 days ahead of them!
