WITH FRIENDS LIKE THIS . . .
YOU’VE GOT TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

Have you noticed that everyone around you seems to be putting you down?
Saying things like . . .

“You measure your food? That’s just too much.”

“You can’t even enjoy what you want to enjoy, when you want to enjoy it?”

“Come on. Just one beer after work won’t hurt.”

“You’re getting grumpy. It must be time to eat.”

“You’re obsessed with your body”

“You’re too into yourself.”

“You should enjoy yourself every once in a while.”

“Life’s too short to deprive yourself like that.”

Remember this. You are the only one you look at in the mirror. And I’m talking about the mirror that shows you your body AND the mirror that shows you your soul. When you rise above their criticism, and follow your path despite their temptations, you look so much better in the mirror. Both your body AND your soul.

The next time someone puts you down, be prepared with these responses:

“I measure my food because I’m getting back in control. Once I re-learn what my body really needs, I won’t need to measure any more!”

“I enjoy being in control of my body, not constantly falling to temptation.”

“One beer won’t hurt, but what will it help?”

“Yes, I am a little grumpy. My metabolism is fast because it’s always burning fat. I can tell when my blood sugar drops. What can I do to help get dinner on the table?”

“I may seem obsessed, I’m not perfect. Like you, I’m just doing the best I can.”

“I’m taking care of myself. I like how I feel. I like how I look. And I don’t take comfort in food. When it comes down to it, I’m all I have! And I’m proud of where I’ve come.”

“Have I ever told you about my Free Day? Maybe we can get together then.”

“When you live in an unhealthy manner, fact is your life is likely to be much shorter.”

And remember this. If transforming your life was easy, everyone would do it.
You ARE one in a million.
You CAN do it.
