Willpower (or lack of...)

[Guest guest]

Hi Doug (and anyone else who has more willpower than I seem to right

now, this reply does not have to do with dairy so much as with the

willpower to not eat dairy....and anything else for that matter. I am

wondering where you get your willpower? What makes you so strong on

this plan? I admire it very much and am unable as of yet to stick. The

longest I made it once was 45 days, I felt great. My biggest downfall

areas are when I finish a week of huge exams and want to relax and

unwind and be social...I live in a great town that really supports the

art and music community. Everyone will split a big piece of cake or

offer me a glass of wine and it is so hard to say no and feel like an

outsider, or " no fun " . I know these are issues everyone deals with when

on restrictive diets and I will just have to deal with them, but it is

so hard. I feel like I am wasting my money on all these wonderful

supplements and foods when I go eat something I am not supposed to and

I feel like it is hopeless. Also, I have been really sick all week and

I felt so frustrated that I screwed up and ate some cookies from the co-

op. You seem very strong willed and I guess I am just looking for a

little shot in the arm or some advice, maybe even a book that deals

with the psychological aspects of overcoming disease??? Anyone have any

suggestions? Crystal
