SUFFERING.....

ShawnDMuth

We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.

True!

But should we think of discipline as necessarily painful when the reward for having self-discipline is great?

When I elect to not eat something that has too many calories relative to any benefit, I am making a choice, not depriving myself of anything. I could choose to eat part of it or all of it, and would not regret it, because I made the choice mindfully (and probably elected to not eat something else equally tempting).
