The problem for most people trying to do something to change a "lifetime" of dietary habits is thinking, " What do I have to give up? " Instead, the proper approach should be "What are the thousands of delicious foods I should pick? "
First of all, what is the purpose of eating? Basically, we should eat to live. Too many have learned to live to eat. It's time to get back to the basics.
The purpose of a good diet is to provide all the nutrients we need to live a hearty, robust life. Those nutrients help us maintain and, in the case of children, grow our bodies. The aim is to keep our fat and cholesterol levels low, the lower the better. After a short while, we begin to gravitate toward those foods with low levels of fat and cholesterol.
Remember the saying " A moment on your lips, forever on your hips ! " As nice as it is to preserve that slim figure, think how much more important it is to keep those arteries clear and flowing. ... read more

DESIRE is the ingredient that changes the hot water of mediocrity to the steam of outstanding success. It's the ingredient that enables a person with average ability to successfully compete with those who have far more. DESIRE is the "extra" that makes the little difference and it's the little differences that make the big differences in life. Success is determined by taking the hand you were "dealt " and utilizing it to the very best of your ability. The DESIRE to win enables many people to win and achieve their goals against sometimes overwhelming odds. DESIRE is the ingredient that makes the difference between an average performer and a winner !!
In reality you are in competition with yourself. There is nothing as satisfying as knowing you have done your best, that you have driven yourself to use what you have to the very best of your ability.

Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't - your right.
Your attitude is an expression of your values, beliefs and expectations.
Your aspirations are your possibilities.
You will never find time for anything. If you want time, you must make it.
You can disagree without being disagreeable.
When you're a winner you're always happy, but if you're happy as a loser you'll always be a loser.
Our health always seems more valuable after we lose it.
Nothing is better than to be in a position to help.
You can't get much done in life if you only apply yourself on the days you feel good.
When you know where you are going, you are half way there.
It's your attitude and not your aptitude that determines your altitude.
Love life - live life. ... read more
