When to Chill - Words of Wisdom - August 21, 2008
Good morning. The idea of force is usually more compelling than its actual use! When you clearly display that you know when to push and shove and when to chill, you're likely to avoid ALL conflict AND STILL WIN THE GAME! (Remember!) Revolutions are won in the mind, not in the streets! :heart: God is Love:heart:

The definition of insanity.
Just wanted to give a short diatribe on this topic. Albert Einstein defined insanity as thus: "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." I actually see that a lot on MFP. Don't get me wrong people, I commend everyone on here for taking the steps they have, and I'll be the first one to…

Listen to your body! It’s pretty darn smart. It’s not something you need to beat into submission, :laugh: it just wants a little respect. It knows what it needs to do to keep you healthy, all you need to do is give it the tools. Last week I was sooo hungry. I’m not talking about just cravings, but real pain-in-my-tummy…

Hi all! I dropped about 12 lbs using MFP ... the most healthy 12 lbs I've ever lost.
