First…If you’re going Calorie spike/Carb day for Super Bowl….why are you eating today?!!!

Now, on to the post:
Quitter!
I get it. Really, I do. No one wants to be a quitter. If you eliminate something, you’ll feel like a quitter.
“I can’t give up on the nightly Stroh’s!”
“Leaving the safety of Bear Claws just wouldn’t be right.”
“Not having seconds…that’s just plain old giving-up!”
“Winners never quit!”

Ok, ok. Let’s all settle the he&$ down.

Don’t think of it that way…think of it in the positive…it takes a hardened soul to stand up to this.

“You have many habits that weaken you. The secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” (Way of the peaceful warrior, Millman)


So call yourself a “Gritter!” Grit makes it happen.

Angela Duckworth (UPenn) describes Grit (her TED & vids & articles are all worthy views/reads)
