As a “creator,” I've found over the years that I tend to focus on something for a very short period of time, sometimes days, but often only minutes.
When my brain is focused, or in the mood for something, the energy flows and whatever it is, becomes a pleasure to do. As I did today, building a couple drawers for the kitchen, and tearing down another old wall.
So focused in fact it. I didn't get around to this blog, and I'm writing it a day late. I barely remembered the Diet 1.



That is why what we're trying to do with Diet 1 is to force our focus. Most people can't afford to drop everything and focus on a new diet long enough for it to become habit.
There are just too many other things to do in life, like work, kids, school and fun.

So what we are doing is putting up road signs remind us of where we are going. The 1 on her thumb, that line of juice glasses on the counter or maybe bottled water scattered around the house or work. Even that trusty pedometer counting our steps and the bathroom scale.
Yes, even this blog is a way to force our focus back to the Diet 1 until bit by bit, it all becomes habit, like taking same route to work every day.

By November 17, 2016 we will no longer be dieting, and we won't need to write that 1 on our thumb anymore. All these eating and exercise habits of will be just that, automatic habits. No matter what our focus, we will still set the fork down, eat smaller, drink water and exercise.
It will be just something we naturally do during our day.

And won't that be nice....
