Re: CR, it's all down to willpower in the end, innit?

Al: Nobody said it was easy. That's why we have this Support Group.

Nevertheless it's not impossible and in fact necessary if one desires to

live a long and healthy life. I heard this little ditty long ago and it's

not bad to keep in mind when considering over-indulging:

" A moment on the lips, forever on the hips " .

The older generation of Okinawans have proven it is very possible to live a

moderate life. When my blood pressure started climbing along with my

weight, I decided that I would make the effort and choice to be a CRONIE.

It was difficult but I wanted to avoid pain and suffering before my full

alloted time. It's all about choices and admittedly easier for some to stick

to than others. If it's too hard, that's an individual decision.

(Lastly the CR Support Group is as much of a " main " CR group as any other -

please consider and respect that when posting).

Hi All,

And I remember your response to:

and All,

The proof is in the not pudding on.

Yes, I agree, and I apologize for the misuse of the term. There is a

different emphasis in the two groups, and both are highly efficient

in communicating the important messages of CR. I my opinion, the

greatest differences are in the electronic means of communication and

the moderation of the etiquette of the postings.

An unfortunate case in which this issue arose recently in the other

CR group involved no more than differing views on the use of

unorthodox language.

Cheers, Al.

Actually I have found it easy when I was madly infatuated or on some

spiritual high after a good meditation group meeting. Or working on

some REALLY exciting project with a new group of people. Of course, I'm

not usually in love, working on somehting new and exciting with people

or going to enough meditation meetings. Should try the latter at least.

Salutations!

My Grandmother's version of your advice is a little longer:

" One minute in the mouth, one hour in the stomach and carry it around on your hips for the rest of your life. "

Unfortunately, I always ate too much of her pie crust and other 'goodies' for my own well being and didn't exercise enough; piano and French horn were much more exciting than taking a walk.

My attempts to migrate to CR and stay on it have been terribly frustrating, but I did just come back from a two week vacation at the same weight as when I left. Maybe I've turned the corner.
