The Word for Today is CONTROL

"The purpose of discipline is to promote freedom." - Henry Miller in Sexus


If you are hungry, eat; If you're not, don't. Sometimes we eat just because food is around. We eat because it's 12 noon. We eat as recreation. We est to relieve nervous anxiety. We eat to celebrate. We eat to forget. We eat just to eat. Food has become our crutch. Today, remeber that you are always the boss in your world and don't eat just because it's what you always do. Begin to listen to your body to be able to understand whether you are actually hungry or not. Today, ask yourself: Do I really want to eat or is it just mealtime.?

Someone e-mail me and stated that they thought my comments on the 75lb thread should be shared with the general board, so HEY YOU it is there for the viewing. If possible, I amy post the word for the day daily in both places - I don't know. These are motivators for me and I thought they would help another. You tell me.

Excellent post SweetLips, perfect for today. I eat out of habit half the time and thus your words will make me think twice today about what I'm eating and be more conscious about what I do eat.

Cheers,

I love this thread...........do you mind modifying it so you can give us a new word everyday or every week................perhaps we can share with our experience with that word. :) :p :D On pleeeez!



CONTROL: It's been recent that I learned to be in control (not in a stringent manner but in a relaxed state) and not let my surrounding,food or people control me. I learned that I was wound up inside and not taking responsibility for my well being. Be in control is as easy as being out of control---so I decided to choose which I would rather be......I know, I know, easier said than done. just felt good to say it :p :p ;)


luv to you all,
ml

Thanks sweet lips. Yes, we should eat when we are hungry, not because it's 12.OO p.m, etc,etc. When we are not hungry, we should not eat.And if someone is full, for example a child, we should not force them to eat more. If they can't finish there plate, they can't finish their plate.
