Worth Remembering

I'm a teacher, so I find the following Savage Chicken cartoon particularly amusing.

Following the rules is important in life. But, it's just as important to give yourself a break sometimes. I think I'm due for one of those!

I have been too caught up lately in being more strict on my diet, worrying about finding a full-time teaching job, bringing Heidi Diaz to justice and trying to discover what's really going on with the Magic Chicken Diet and Bonnie Luper. All of these are worthwhile - just like following the rules - but for today I'm not going to worry about any of these things.

Just for today, I'm going to:

• Have all the peanut butter I want (serious craving going on!)
• Enjoy a nice sunny, springtime day
• Eat pineapple and strawberries
• Not freak out if my protein intake is "low" for the day
• Not freak out if my fat or carb intake is too "high" for the day
• No worrying - seriously. None.
• No internet investigating against fraud or suspected fraud

I often encourage my fellow dieters over at Low Carb Friends to give themselves a break and not be SO strict or get too upset with themselves for going off-plan. Then, I realized how seldom I take my own advice.

Hmmm? Why is that?

So, today: NO WORRIES! Join me, won't you?
