A very big part of The Good Mood Diet is the philosophy, or approach to food. It’s new for the diet world. Because I have worked in the sports world for 25 years, I teach all my clients, and now you, to think like an athlete.
The sports world is built on success. The diet world is built on failure. Even the business model is based on failure. Athletes look at their past performances once, learn from their mistakes, and then move on to their plan for success in the next game or competition. They live in the present and the future. Dieters rewind the film of their past dieting errors hundreds of times, hoping that the next time the story will change; but it never does. The past won’t change. But you can change the present and the future.
Athletes don’t dwell on the past, they focus on what they need to do to be successful. They don’t focus on what doesn’t work, they target what works, and they expect it to work successfully. That’s what I want you to do. Think about what you NEED to eat to feed your brain, to feel successful, and to be a success. Put your food to work for you, and you will think, and feel, like an athlete. Anticipate and visualize your success, and you will be a winner!
Yours in a Good Mood,
Dr. Susan Kleiner
