Motivational Monday: Imagine the Long Term Outcomes of Your Diet
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H5dNuOK7Uw&feature=em-upload_owner
Don’t just think about the carbs that are right in front of you but begin to think long-term. Begin to think about what’s going to happen as you continue on down this road. And if you do mess up or you have a cheat day, things go wrong or whatever, I want you to think about my shower example and get right back on the horse. Get right back into your diet!
Don’t use the fact that you cheated yesterday as an excuse for cheating today. You chose yesterday but it’s in the past, it’s gone. You get right back on the horse today. If you’re relying on just willpower to do this diet, your willpower will run out. What you want to rely on is a strong mental picture of what eating a Standard American Diet does versus what eating a low-carb high-fat diet does for your health and sometimes that’s all that you’ve got to rely on.
This was Motivational Monday! I appreciate you watching and we will talk again next week. Bye!
I enjoyed reading your post just now Aarn Farmer. I am a struggling low carber even thought Ive been on this woe for 2 yrs. I enjoyed your lil story about the shower vs cheating on our diet. Its sometimes hard to stay on the right track when I have to see my man eat certain foods that just drive me nuts n makes me wanna have it. I have lost like 5 lbs but Its a slow ongoing process. I cant wait to watch the motivational Monday videos !!
Hi Aarn,
This post couldn’t have come at a better time.
I still feel like crap (lightheaded, dizzy,no energy,just yucky)from a cheat last Monday.
It was a burrito in a bowl, corn, Pinto beans but worst was tortilla chips. I thought no problem I can have this, big mistake, my body doesn’t like junk anymore. It feels like keto flu all over!
That means I will really need to rethink a foolish food choices like this in the future. It was not worth it. Hope this helps others!
So glad to hear that!
