"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle."

That sounds like something Chuck Swindoll said some years ago. I have never forgotten it, and I look at people differently now (the guy who cuts me off in his car, the grumpy clerk, etc)

PrincessLaundry said in a post that she no longer needs to "taste" her favorite foods all the time because she knows what they taste like. It really inspired me to refocus my way of thinking.

Thanks Lady!!

Controlling Naughty Foods

A friend and I were talking about weight loss a while back. We both came to the strangest agreement about our favorite "bad foods"...

My favorite foods will always be there...
I already know what they taste like, so I don't have to go back and "try it" at every opportunity...
I can get that food when I have "earned" it, not when I just want it.
My goal is health and love for myself, not this food.

I think at the time french fries were my favorite. That would be my lunch, with a water. YUCK! What was I thinking? :laugh:

Now I remind myself that I can know it's good tasting, but I can get it next time, when I know it fits into my plan, and I want to be happy. YUM! It just helps me look at my favorite items and keeping ME in control, not my addiction.

Oh, that is sooooooooo good. Thanks:drinker:

I love quotes! I collect them Here are some that I love.

"Don't give up at half time. Concentrate on winning the second half." -- Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant

You see things; and you say "Why?" But I dream things that never were; and I say "Why not?" --George Bernard Shaw

You're never beaten until you admit it. --George S. Patton

It comes down to a simple question: what do you want out of life, and what are you willing to do to get it?

If you didn't need a pill to get fat, why would you need one to get unfat?

Rather than aiming for being perfect, just aim to be little bit better today than you were yesterday.

"Floss only the teeth you want to keep."

My dentist told me this. It is probably not his quote. I like this quote though b/c it can be applied to many other aspects of life.

I heard this on the movie Kungfu Panda " The past is history, the future is a mystery, right now is a gift that is why they call it the present!" I just loved that when I heard it.

Here are a few of my favorites:

A small house will hold as much happiness as a big one.

Happiness keeps You Sweet,
Trials keep You Strong,
Sorrows keep You Human,
Failures keep You Humble,
Success keeps You Glowing,
But Only God keeps You Going!

If life did not have its little battles, there would be no victories.

Learn to speak kind words -- ...nobody... resents.. .them...

A true friend never gets in your way -- unless you are on you way down

My life is my own. My future is my own. My destiny is my own. No one else can change these things for me, I must make the effort to change them for myself.
