Thanks Max! And you bring up a great point for me. As I get further along toward my goal and enjoy all the great lowcarb benefits, I find I start to forget the reasons I started eating this way in the first place.
The fatigue, headaches, IBS, sluggishness, cloudy thought processes, bloating, etc. etc. etc. All of it seems like a distant dream. I even forget what it felt like to be so out of breath all the time, having trouble fitting behind the wheel of the car, walking up flights of stairs, aching knees and back, chest pains...on and on it goes.
But when I forget those ills, I am more tempted to cheat! I get into the mindset of "just this once won't hurt..." But it WILL, and I need to keep reminding myself of that, and of how far I've come in my health and well-being just by changing the way I eat.
Maybe I should make myself a list like yours to help keep me motivated and focused!
