Oh, I love that line : "The pain of discipline is less than the pain of regret"
It's so true but OH SO EASY TO FORGET
.
I guess that's why it's good to have reminders like that
.
Anyway, obviously we need to be very vigilant, but, just don't beat yourself up about this. This is the one area I get concerned about while on a strict eating regime : "oh no, I ate an extra stick of celery, I am such an idiot and failure and have done something unhealthy for myself !!" -- that kind of slavery to an "ideal" is NOT healthy and the
content of that line is an utter lie ! Well, not that you are being quite like that
, just keep it in perspective, that's all
.
You know what you want anyway, and you are willing to take the necessary stand for it ! That's what this is all about and
that's healthy. There really should be nothing but strengthening and confidence building in learning these things, imo. You are doing wonderfully, Tawanda, just keep it up
.
