For me, I guess it was a couple of things. I saw success on low carb that I did not see doing low fat. Success keeps me motivated. Not all my success was in weight loss/inch loss terms either. I feel better, my blood work looks great....

I also mentally committed to this kind of eating and did not really think of it as a diet-but as a lifestyle change. I have changed my lifestyle a couple of times before (when I became a vegetarian for example), so I think that helped.

I also spent a lot of time here just reading and participating. It really helped me just getting support and being involved with a group of people that were also making the same changes I was.

Don't get discouraged-no one appreciated what they had when they had it. Just think about how much you will appreciate it more when you get there.
