Staying motivated - Always keep end in mind! Write down all of reasons why you are motivated to lose weight now. Record these reasons on a piece of card that can be kept in your wallet or purse. Each morning and before going to bed remind yourself by reading aloud why you are motivated to lose weight. Facing challenges - Every day you are likely to face challenges, which can disrupt your focus and get in way of your weight loss goals. Write down all of challenges that you know have made losing weight hard for you in past. This will help you to develop a better strategy this time. Three common challenges are lack of results, boredom and lack of support from spouse, family and friends.

The only acceptable treatment for celiac disease is strict adherence to a 100% gluten-free diet for life. That measure can prevent almost all complications caused by disease – without medication – as small intestine will steadily heal and start absorbing needed nutrients and, therefore, eliminate painful symptoms. A gluten-free diet means avoiding all products that contain wheat, rye, and barley or any of their derivatives. That challenge can prove to be a daunting task as many hidden sources of gluten are found in ingredients of several processed foods. But health rewards are tremendous. Being diagnosed with celiac is a life-changing experience. Imagine having to give up bread, pasta, and beer among other things. Where can you go out to eat? Where can you vacation? Where can you find substitutes for foods you crave? The doctors will not have answer to these questions. The best source of information on living with celiac is hearing from others who have “been there, done that.” If you have been suffering from intestinal problems and have not gotten relief, find out all you can about celiac disease. There are many support groups across country and several books that can give you information and put you on road to recovery.©2004, A Personal Touch Publishing, LLC.
