Hey - Did YOU know ....

That it matters EVERY single time! What YOU chose to put into your mouth - each and every calories - Matters! THINK about it ... It really does matter Beck Thought for today .... Have a thought, a quote, something that YOU think is worth sharing? Post it!

Britt, As I've said, that statement sticks out in my mind more than just about anything in that book and I think of it daily. IT DOES MATTER and just as importantly, we do make those choices - they are DECISIONS. WE decide what we are going to eat. We choose the foods and the amounts. We try to rationalize that emotions or situations "made" us do it and we reacted, we did it without being truly conscious of it but we are responsible for all our decisions and if we would just take the time to talk back to the sabotaging thoughts, we would win lots of battles that defeat us now. IT DOES MATTER EVERY SINGLE TIME because if we succumb, the next time we are tempted, we remember that we gave in last time and that can zap the resolve and it weakens us. Distracting ourselves or saying "no, not now" strengthens us and gives us the power to say "no" next time. SO, practice saying "no!" and get stronger! Now, I need to practice what I preach!!! CeCe
