If you have to cry, make them tears of happiness. T-thoughts E-emotions A-actions R-results This is an easy acronym to remember that thoughts affect our emotions which in turn affect our actions which lead ultimately to the results in our lives. QUESTION So are your results showing what you want? What can you do about it? ANSWER Change any of the above to change the cycle. Being aware of our thought patterns (inner conversations and images) is a great place to start. We all have numerous influences bombarding us with input and the beauty of that is each person gets to decide which thoughts they would like to keep or discard. NOT so easy for you? Borrow some healthier thoughts and images from others who already have the results that you want! Then say and imagine those affirmations to yourself until you believe them. Still at a loss for the right ones for you? Try this. Catch that negative thought that you find yourself

This post is more of a personal admission to a self-sabotaging pattern that I have noticed in my life (have any of those?) with hopes that by consciously recognizing a flaw in my programming I can make advances in reaching new ways and understanding.

How can it be both? I know it is bad for me, I think most of us do. Yet, I keep giving in. Granted I think I have come along way. Last year I went 6 full months without sugar (5 in a row from January to May and then October randomly at the end of the year... random I know, but I skipped Halloween the candy nirvana of the whole year.) I rarely binge eat...yet occasionally ice cream straight from the container is the only therapy that works. I try to stop and it keeps finding a way back into my life so I think I need to write about it. On those occasional times that I think, “I don’t have to be that extreme person who is prudish about her diet. I will just eat sugar once in a while” than….IT GETS ME and It keeps reappearing in my diet over and over. Not extreme just constant: desse
