Deprivation - Something to Think About

[MJS]

A quote from Dr. Phil's calendar for today:

"Think about deprivation another way: by overeating, you're depriving yourself of a healthy weight, an attractive appearance, self-regard and peace of mind."

[Lesli54]

This is so true. I guess it is all in the way you look at things. No more depriving ourselves of being the best that we can be! ::MickeyMo ::MickeyMo

My DD (ohMom) gave me this calendar for a Christmas gift and I have been looking at that statement all day............................. and I needed it today.

Day #4 of "no cheating" and staying OP and it made me rethink just what I was depriving myself of. I also heard Oprah say once "that the food is not going to go away, it will still be there tomorrow" I "hear" her often too, when I think I NEED certain things to satisfy my cravings and start with a "few" tidbits and end up eating way more than I should !

This is a good thought for the day for sure!!!

What a great quote!!

I'm going to use it as my inspiration for this coming week. I've had such a problem this week keeping away from office goodies. Next week I'll tell myself, if I eat that cookie I'm depriving myself.

Thanks for sharing! :flower:
