The power of the mind.

We've all heard the quote:

"Whether you think you can or you think you cannot, you are right."

So, how do we change our thinking? How do we change, like "The Tree" said, "Most people really don't ever achieve real, lasting change without continuous follow up."

Well, one thing I have learned is this:

When the consequences of what I do finally get through my stubborn mind I realize:

This behavior isn't worth the consequences I KNOW will come.

So, then I decide, "It's not worth it."

We know the consequences of bingeing: feeling good (during the eating), feeling bad immediately afterwards, beating self up, (this may or may not involve treating those in our family bad because of our bad mood), not giving of ourselves fully because of our bad mood, not wanting to go out in public because of our bad mood, and then just thinking, "Well, I've already messed up, I might as well eat more." Then a horrible cycle begins! Does that sound familiar to anyone?

So, lets remember the consequences of our actions the next time we're tempted and remember that:

IT'S NOT WORTH IT! :)
