There now that we have your attention! 
I am so tired of people saying "Oh, I CAN'T eat that. Why can't you? Is it because you CHOOSE not too? Because if it is, then say that!!!
We are not here to be on a DIET! This is a LIFESTYLE CHANGE!!! Diets are for CAN"TS and a LIFESTYLE CHANGE is for CHOOSERS!!!
People who diet are more likely to fail. People who change their life are more likely to succeed. I only say this from personal experience...I have dieted in the past and guess what? I FAILED!!! I have seen others diet in the past and guess what? They FAILED too!!!
I am changing my life and I WILL succeed. I CHOOSE not to eat that peice of candy! I CHOOSE to workout! I CHOOSE not to eat more than my allotted calories! I CHOOSE, i CHOOSE, I CHOOSE!!!
Do you CHOOSE?????
I challange everyone to stop saying "I CAN'T" and start saying "I CHOOSE". If you are in this for your life, then is should be no problem!!!
Sorry for the rant...but I do feel better having said it!!! :happy:
