Get Even

“You are trying to eat right, but you feel cheated. Here's how to get even.”

If it seems like you have to give up every food you love in order to get healthy, you may need an attitude adjustment. First, a little test: who do you think is happier: someone who won the lottery one year ago, or someone who became a paraplegic one year ago? Of course, if we had to choose one of those, we'd all choose to win the lottery. But, the fact is both groups are the same as far as how happy they are one year after those major events. It's a fact that people can learn to be happy with pretty much anything. The option to pick happiness over wallowing in misery is up to each. You can look at your new food choices, workout schedule, and healthy lifestyle choices as a great thing just as easily as deciding it sucks. Once you make the choice for embracing it, you'll be surprised at how much easier it is.
