Recently I posted another video, Egg White Salad,
which is located at DietHobby, under RECIPES, MiniMeals.

This is a low-carb And reduced-fat And low-calorie recipe
that is surprisingly tasty.

It's Monday Again.

They come every week.
...right after Sunday

A new day.

A fresh start.

I am energized once again
to work at eating only the amount
that my body needs to maintain it's current weight
...or maybe to lose some of it.

Funny how that happens.

Commitment is sticking with something,
long after the mood you were in when you made it,
leaves you.

Commitment is what
transforms a promise into reality.

Words speak boldly of our intentions.
But our Actions speak far louder than our words.

Commitment
is making the time when there is none.
Performing the action when you’d rather not.
Coming through
time after time, after time, year after year, after year.

Commitment is the stuff character is made of;
it’s the power to change things.

It is the daily triumph of the positive over the negative...
….of Trust over doubt and fear.

                       
  Something to Think About:

What's the difference between those of us
that have reached the weight goal we want to be
and those of us that have not?

Is it luck? Maybe
Is it hard work? YES
Is it vision? YES
Is it determination? YES
Is it focus? YES
Is it just circumstances? Maybe a little bit

After working hard to reach one’s weight goal,
would you start treating others as though they weren't good enough,
working hard enough, determined enough?

Or would you continue to understand
that people don't truly start moving forward
UNTIL THEY ARE TRULY READY to face their demons
and overcome their own personal recipe of life's obstacles?

Are you envious of those that are making serious progress
when you know that you are giving mediocre effort?

Are you resentful because you think some people don't have to try anymore
when they get to a certain point, and you still have to?

Do you realise that it gets harder and harder the closer you get to the end?

Life is the constant adaptation to your environment.

CONSTANT.

Not just until you get to the next rest stop.
CONSTANT. FOR EVERYONE.

No matter what point any of us are in when it comes to our struggle forward,
everyone is still pushing, worrying, trying, crawling, running, strangling,
suffocating under guilt, envious or jealous or sad, ready to collapse,
not satisfied with some result, self-conscious, lonely, misunderstood,
on the edge of giving up, starting over, moving on.

NO one is perfect.
No one has it all figured out.
No one is 100% done.
No one is completely confident.
No one has impenetrable self-esteem.

Successful people are just further ahead in some areas than others.

We are all successful.
And you can always choose to alter your own path
in pursuit of your own happiness.

 
The above article is a paraphrased portion of a post
that I really liked, from a fellow forum member.

 It so closely follows my own thinking,
that it is something that I could have written myself
...........but I didn’t.

People make an average of 200 food choices in a day.

All these decisions can deplete our limited mental "resources"
that govern our self-regulation.

That's one reason why, at the end of a hectic day, we can more easily overeat.
We lack the mental resources to say “no” to that first tempting cookie,
then of course, it is usually even harder to say "no to more of the same.

I have added another weekly recipe video to DietHobby.
