Exactly. It's a bad habit, like chewing your nails or twirling your hair. And you break it like any other bad habit...every time you catch yourself in it, you just make an effort to think the opposite way. Look on the sunny side! Make it a new habit.

Because the only person you have to convince is you. No one else can do it. Don't let that be too much responsibility for you. This is the way it's supposed to work! What if other people could change us, willy nilly? Oh, that's worse.

And don't compare yourself to anyone. While I was losing, I was looking at a co-worker who is so much smaller than me. And she is small! I'm almost a head taller than she is. My shoulders are six inches wider. My arms and legs are longer. And my butt is always going to be wider than her butt.

Just go for your personal best. Low carbing WILL work! There are lots of people who have made it work for them.

The fact that you've lost means it will work for you!
