August 24th, 2007: Thoughts for the day
You are the MASTER OF CHANGE:
Conquer thyself. Till thou hast done that thou art a slave; for it is almost as well for thee to be in subjection to another's appetite as thy own.
Robert Burton
Everytime you "Inappropriately" Cheat there's a Hook:

Appropriate control is the key to success in a diet: Bottom Line.
Weed out the crap and when the dust settles and clears, all that matters to the body in accordance to its design is: the law of energy balance and the nutritional function you provide.
Bang your head on a table and cry. When you lift your head up with it throbbing and with your face wet, this fact still didnt change, but you can work more constructive with it. Dry the tears, put a band aide on the boo booed forehead, and WORK IT! Sort your feelings out work with your strengths and weaknesses.
This basic rule (energy in versus energy out) never changes it always stays basically the same. Its only your mind that can maintain it or flip it to one side or the other, you are always in control in what happens, because this rule always stays the same no matter what you decide to do. You are truely in control of the outcome of your diet. You really have to GRASP THIS REAL GOOD!
Your body IS the innocent bystander functioning only by its design. You by understanding this design, can determine what output it provides.
EMBRACE IT: You dont have a choice----or do you?

Be your KING!
“I am, indeed, a king, because I know how to rule myself.”
Pietro Aretino
=========================================================
“Discipline and concentration are a matter of being interested.”
Tom Kite
==========================================================
“Finding oneself was a misnomer; a self is not found but made”
Jacques Barzun
==========================================================
“My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them.”
Jack Kerouac
==========================================================
You brain shall be your servant instead of your master, You will rule it instead of allowing it to rule you.
Charles E. Popplestone
==========================================================
Those who flee temptation generally leave a forwarding address.
Lane Olinghou
==========================================================
Conscience whispers, but interest screams aloud.
J. Petit-Senn
==========================================================
Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation leans on the doorbell. Author Unknown
==========================================================
By constant self-discipline and self-control you can develop greatness of character.
Grenville Kleiser
==========================================================
==========================================================
Keep your mind STRONG! Think and react POSITIVELY. Sit down and embrace your tempatations, adapt to them: If you really understand them you can better deal with them!
I wish all of your the best each day.
I hope your day went well.
I hope you had no obstacles or burdens to bare.
If you did, I hope you didnt give in but rather crushed them.
ROCK ON!............BE PROUD! Be PROUD OF YOURSELF..........MOVE FORWARD.
Another day and another step forward in your goals you seek!
Rock on Brothers and Sisters!

Everytime you "Inappropriately" Cheat there's a Hook:
Do not bite at the bait of pleasure till you know there is no hook beneath it.

“You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see, but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want to feel.”
“The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.”

INSIGHT
How easy is it to wallow in the misery of a situation?
How attractive to just believe the worst and so not bother?
How natural to look on the dark side of life?
It is all too easy to see the worst in things, waiting for things to 'get better' before getting active and interacting with life.
Catch 22! As we know, it is usually the interaction and the activity that creates the pleasure!
It is the effort of thinking all the way round a situation that yields the rewards. The stubbornness to not just accept the first interpretation your mind feeds you.
Taking control of your own thoughts can be difficult at first. It can feel like it will always be hard.
And then, with a little perseverance, you get the first reward. It gets a little easier. And so the snowball begins to roll down the hill.
One interpretation, one point of view, a single way of looking at things is one kind of choice.
No Choice At All!
Practice a little flexible thinking and see the rewards come rolling in!
The next time you get angry, upset or depressed about something, remember that a 'negative' emotion needs a single interpretation to exist.
