Two out of the three suck. Yeah, maybe I get a little blissful with sweets and get damn near reminiscent when I eat a familiar cookie or pastry that I ate as a child, but the memories aren&#8217;t worth it. What matters is the future and the present.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Forward progress is the only progress. Who wants to struggle walking up stairs? Who wants to get tired while playing with their child?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dolce introduced me to a world that I didn&#8217;t know of. But that world gave me weight loss and energy, not to mention I feel great. WE all should.<br \/>\nPersonally, I feel like people have succumbed to mundane lifestyles that have had detrimental mental and physical effects.<br \/>\nThe worst part about this monotony is that you don&#8217;t notice at the start, but as time progresses and your stomach slowly curls over your waist, you don&#8217;t feel like yourself. You&#8217;re young but you don&#8217;t feel young.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I wrote this post to encourage everyone of us that hasn&#8217;t hit our goals to continue moving forward. We will hit them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Some of us are closer than we realize. I believe that all of us will reach our goals. And at the end of that long haul, we&#8217;ll look back, laugh, have a Breakfast Bowl, maybe even a free-range chicken quesadilla if you&#8217;re up for it, and we&#8217;ll be what we were meant to become.<\/p>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<p>Theo Wells IV is a member of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mikedolcemma.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MyDolceDiet.com<\/a> and author of the blog site <a href=\"http:\/\/kingseries.info\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kingseries.info<\/a>, coming soon.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.thedolcediet.com\/collections\/books\/products\/the-dolce-diet-living-lean-cookbook-volume-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12275\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/border-buy-now-The-Dolce-Diet-Living-Lean-Cookbook-620x300.png\" alt=\"border-buy-now-The-Dolce-Diet-Living-Lean-Cookbook-620x300\" width=\"620\" height=\"300\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.thedolcediet.com\/collections\/books\/products\/the-dolce-diet-living-lean-cookbook-volume-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12274\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/buy-now-the-dolce-diet-living-lean.png\" alt=\"buy-now-the-dolce-diet-living-lean\" width=\"622\" height=\"300\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dolce Diet Guest Blog Almost There, Reaching Your Goal By Theo Wells IV, Dolce Diet Guest Blog I haven&#8217;t reached my goal yet.
