Unless You Make This Work, Diabetes Has "Gotcha".
Life style daily actions are established over a life time and are fully automated actions, we do totally without thinking about them.

Your current and long term lifestyle has accumulated diabetes, for you, and only a major "lifestyle" change can reverse this and rescue you.

When we do something new or outside of what we have "always done", we feel very "uncomfortable" and we automatically drift back to, without thinking about it, to the "known comfortable" we have always done. even when we know it is degenerating and killing us.

Habits are some of the strongest emotional forces we humans have to deal with, and successfully breaking or changing what we have always done, are one of life's most difficult tasks.
You tend to revert back to your well established "comfort zone".

But the job can be made easier: eliminate your old anchors and triggers, look at each day as a fresh start, from a new place, for a new lease on life.

When in Rome, do what the Romans do was the old saying....

Eating breakfast is an example of a rut, something you have done thousands of times. This is an example of something very simple, yet you can relate to as something to change that is often EXTREMELY hard pattern to get out of.

What the heck, most of us have been in a life style rut with our selves for scores of years, in fact often our entire lives – so long we imagine that this is the way it ALWAYS is, and always will be.

Think Again.....

If there's one thing you should know by now, it's that changing your life style is the biggest toughest job you will ever undertake.

But once you commit...fully decide this is what needs to be done, for survival, you can do it...

Who and what is going to be your biggest toughest and only adversary to your succeeding in your ultimate test, can you do it?

You, you alone and your established rut.  That is who.....

It does not matter if the life style changes you make are dramatic or humble, – you need to SEIZE THIS OPPORTUNITY.

This one can change and SAVE your life.

Actually, you've got a particular split-second you need to be on guard for – the first one.

Life just would not be worth living" if I continue to stop doing what I have always done...enjoying my nightly ice cream with all those delicious toppings.

You are actually having trouble giving up a "habit". It is not the ice cream.

Something in a pleasurable "pattern" you have "always done" whether it is a good or bad habit, it is equally hard to give up.

Now that he has successfully broken free of this "habit", he now finds life can be just as pleasurable without it.

You Succeed Changing The Habit, or You Fail.

Then......

Ease in over a week or two in doing other meals etc.

After 21 days, your new life style will "feel comfortable" and for the first time feel "Right".

There is a mental 21 day process that exists. For example, if you accidentally cut off your hand, you can still feel your missing fingers for 21 days.
