Hello All,

I just joined today and I am very optimistic about reaching my goals. I am a teacher and I just finished a course in philosphy. The main theme through most of the brilliant educational philosphers from Plato to Dewey is the need for discipline and self-control in order to be a virtuous person. Obtaining virute is also the only way to self-actualization. I found this to be so true. You can't achieve true happiness unless you are happy with every part of yourself. For me, my weight was getting in the way. Anyway, I have found the discipline I lacked previously - and surprisingly, I am not at all hungry.
