Dear , You are not alone. It's been a struggle for me too. But every day is a new opportunity to get with the program. Some days are better than others. Rather than beat myself up for having an ad lib day, I think about how many CR days I have and all the benefits of making good food choices. Some people jump into CR and never look back. For others, me included, it's a slow and gradual change in habits. Keep at it! Dixie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2001 Report Share Posted March 8, 2001 Thanks for all the words of encouragement. I should probably communicate more. the only thing I have consistently accomplished is NO DIET SODA! That was hard for me. My repertoire of vegetables is also much improved. I seem to actually like sweet potatos which I have avoided for years. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2001 Report Share Posted September 13, 2001 Please read this. I got it from the guys in the States. Cheers, Pete Gosnell Subject: Resolve This, without a doubt, is the best thing I've seen yet... Regards, Brosius We'll go forward from this moment It's my job to have something to say. They pay me to provide words that help make sense of that which troubles the American soul. But in this moment of airless shock when hot tears sting disbelieving eyes, the only thing I can find to say, the only words that seem to fit, must be addressed to the unknown author of this suffering. You monster. You beast. You unspeakable bastard. What lesson did you hope to teach us by your coward's attack on our World Trade Center, our Pentagon, us? What was it you hoped we would learn? Whatever it was, please know that you failed. Did you want us to respect your cause? You just damned your cause. Did you want to make us fear? You just steeled our resolve. Did you want to tear us apart? You just brought us together. Let me tell you about my people. We are a vast and quarrelsome family, a family rent by racial, social, political and class division, but a family nonetheless. We're frivolous, yes, capable of expending tremendous emotional energy on pop cultural minutiae -- a singer's revealing dress, a ball team's misfortune, a cartoon mouse. We're wealthy, too, spoiled by the ready availability of trinkets and material goods, and maybe because of that, we walk through life with a certain sense of blithe entitlement. We are fundamentally decent, though -- peace-loving and compassionate. We struggle to know the right thing and to do it. And we are, the overwhelming majority of us, people of faith, believers in a just and loving God. Some people -- you, perhaps -- think that any or all of this makes us weak. You're mistaken. We are not weak. Indeed, we are strong in ways that cannot be measured by arsenals. IN PAIN Yes, we're in pain now. We are in mourning and we are in shock. We're still grappling with the unreality of the awful thing you did, still working to make ourselves understand that this isn't a special effect from some Hollywood blockbuster, isn't the plot development from a Tom Clancy novel. Both in terms of the awful scope of their ambition and the probable final death toll, your attacks are likely to go down as the worst acts of terrorism in the history of the United States and, probably, the history of the world. You've bloodied us as we have never been bloodied before. But there's a gulf of difference between making us bloody and making us fall. This is the lesson Japan was taught to its bitter sorrow the last time anyone hit us this hard, the last time anyone brought us such abrupt and monumental pain. When roused, we are righteous in our outrage, terrible in our force. When provoked by this level of barbarism, we will bear any suffering, pay any cost, go to any length, in the pursuit of justice. I tell you this without fear of contradiction. I know my people, as you, I think, do not. What I know reassures me. It also causes me to tremble with dread of the future. In the days to come, there will be recrimination and accusation, fingers pointing to determine whose failure allowed this to happen and what can be done to prevent it from happening again. There will be heightened security, misguided talk of revoking basic freedoms. We'll go forward from this moment sobered, chastened, sad. But determined, too. Unimaginably determined. THE STEEL IN US You see, the steel in us is not always readily apparent. That aspect of our character is seldom understood by people who don't know us well. On this day, the family's bickering is put on hold. As Americans we will weep, as Americans we will mourn, and as Americans, we will rise in defense of all that we cherish. So I ask again: What was it you hoped to teach us? It occurs to me that maybe you just wanted us to know the depths of your hatred. If that's the case, consider the message received. And take this message in exchange: You don't know my people. You don't know what we're capable of. You don't know what you just started. But you're about to learn. ~Laurie --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 RESOLVEby CarrollThe New Year is upon us and it's time to find resolveTo decide what's important and to fight to evolve.To be a better human or to learn a new taskTo grow ever stronger or to get over the past.To help other people or to help ourselvesTo make extra income or to share our wealth.To give time to our family or take time we needTo live life with laughter or continue to grieve.To watch the world changing or to ask that it stopTo pray for peace among us as we watch the moving clock.To accept growing older as we see the children growTo be a little more patient when the times seems so slow.To feel our heart beating as it bursts with loveTo have faith that life's worth living, it's a gift from God above.To realize we're all equal in the Great One's eyesTo look up and see the heavens in the bright blue sky.To see ourselves as he see us, beauty to the coreTo be that person who stands proud at the door.To know that when we get there to the pearly gatesThat our resolves to grow each day was worth the wait.For with resolve comes strength and peace when we succeedKnowing that we did what we set out to achieveSo in this New Year coming resolve to be your bestFor that's the one thing you can do to pass the lifetime test.Which is to learn to laugh and love and grow ever strongerHave peace and understanding as we live ever longer.Happy Happy New Year. Happy Happy DaysMay 2008 bring you Happy Happy Ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
