When "I Can't" Becomes "I Don't"

Low Carb Success Stories: Maggie

I made a statement in one of the discussions the other day, without realizing that it described a fairly significant milestone in this way of eating. What I said was that when you find yourself saying ' I don't eat that', instead of 'I can't eat that', you're there. You've attained some kind of low carb zen. Since most of you have known me only since I've been in maintenance, I want you to know that my first steps on this journey were much rockier than you might have guessed.
