Let's keep this simple. We drive the car, we steer the ship. In taking control of our lives and health, ultimately the buck stops with us.

So think of your biggest challenges and complete this sentence:

I don't have to ______________ if I don't want to. And nobody can make me!

I don't have to eat food I hate (ie cottage cheese) if I don't want to. And nobody can make me!

Although, my NUT has tried. I refuse to eat food I don't like.

RIGHT ON! I think sometimes folks get so excited about their fave foods that they try to force them on others too. I've seen it. I think I used to be one of those people!

I don't have to always have to have everything under control if I don't want to. And nobody can make me!

 On a more serious item though

I don't have to eat more carbs than I do if I don't want to.  

Doing the volumes of cardio that I sometimes do in a week carbs become an essential element in a diet as they are the primary fuel source.  Even knowing this and the fact that processing protein as a fuel source is not ideal I still maintain a fairly low carb diet.
