As regular readers of Mirathon know, The Mir is back on the healthy eating plan she discarded months and months ago.Every bit of motivation helps. Behold:
Our Lady of Weight Loss--an art-oriented, humor-filled, motivational site for those on the journey to fat loss--has e-cards you can send.
Know a pal online who needs a dose of motivational art and humor?
There's a great e-card at left. It's the "Love Thyself" card, and the little scribblngs say:
"Exercise is my middle name."
"Yes, I can."
"Fruit over cake."
"No matter what, I'll stay the course."
"Love Thyself."
~~and my fave of all:
"I do not accept delivery of my ancestors' fat genes."
While the e-card is free, there are cool greeting cards and motivational objects for sale, and I just bought a bunch of them.
I especially am wild about the one at right. It's not ARTISTICALLY the neatest one. But the message is spot on. When you make a mistake. When you eat that bit of crap food. When you go over your calorie count. Sit, take a breath, assess the whys of it. Think of strategies for future avoidance and triumph. But, most of all, remember to say:
"All is Forgiven. MOVE ON."
Don't get ovewhelmed. Don't get depressed. Don't beat yourself into a bloody psychological pulp. "All is forgiven." You are human. You are complex. You have to struggle and strive. "Move on."
I am human. I am complex. I must struggle. And I must strive.
And I must move on.
Love that. Good to remember. Always, keep moving on. Leave the guilt and shame behind and MOVE ON and tackle the next snack, the next meal, the next hour, the next day, the next weigh in.ALL IS FORGIVEN...Move on.
That works for more than dieting.
Oh, and dig the one on the left here. I keep wanting to put a "Thou shalt" in front of what's written: "Turn a deaf ear to cake."
Snarf.
And, oddly, I don't find this disrespectful. I guess I always imagine Mary being supremely poised and cool and with a healthy sense of humor. I mean, geesh, you get to be the mother of the Son of God and watch him grow, utterly perfect and full of grace. And he scolds YOU, instead of vice versa.
You HAVE to have had a sense of humor to get through that!
I think Mary would approve. And giggle. And add that, "Well, every once in a while, have some cake. But not that often."
So, you gonna send someone an e-card?

Those cards are also a wonderful source of all your daily ad and spyware requirements.

Well i was looking for a site for the information about turbulence training and came across your site and found that you have a really informative blog.
There are certain people who always crib about how modern technology has diminished and ruined mankind and how it has done more harm than good. Obviously they are dumb and they are cynics. But I would like to go with them with one favorite point of their’s that modern technology has made man lazy. I strongly believe this point or else how could sort of novel concepts like weight loss pills clicked with people. Courtesy of man’s new found super laziness people opt for weight loss pills like phentermine rather than sweating it out in the gym. What more inspite of repeating again and again that phentermine is a prescribed drug people blissfully prefer no phentermine prescription! Now you may call it laziness, ignorance or whatever, but it is truly dangerous!
It is actually sad and surprising that inspite of being the first in the market to have started the trend of shedding weight by pill popping, phentermine is non existent today. Owing to the fact that the drug proved to be too dangerous, it had to be pulled out of the market. The good thing however is that there is a ‘safe’ weight loss drug that has entered the market albeit with a different but similar sounding name, you can buy phentremine a natural appetite suppressant.
Once an individual suffers from obesity or overweight, it becomes highly important for him to trigger off weight loss and altogether weight loss is necessary to keep a whole lot of obesity induced disorders, namely, diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure et al at bay. Dieting and regular physical exercises can help in achieving weight loss and altogether the “weight loss” section of the website http://www.pill-care.com informs you that weight loss medicines such as Phentermine, Xenical etc can also help you trigger off instant weight loss if taken in accordance with the instructions of the doctor.
If you have fallen prey to obesity and would like to trigger off weight loss as soon as possible, then you should opt for diet pills such as Phentermine and Adipex that are extremely popular for inducing rapid weight loss among people across the world. You will find the relevant details of weight loss pills at http://www.weight-loss-truths.com that inform you that Phentermine is to be taken only after procuring a Phentermine prescription and also in accordance with the instructions of the doctor. So, get hold of a Phentermine prescription, administer the drug properly and transform your weight loss dreams into reality.
