“Do you remember that weekend a couple of months ago…” “How can I forget!! We ate until we burst. I must have added 5 pounds (2 Kilos) on those two days alone!” “But you are both
slim!” “Why yes we are. Why do you mention it?” “Well because I never spend a whole weekend just eating and yet I’m a lot overweight.” “That’s easy to understand. You see, overindulging in virtually anything once creates a memory. Whereas overindulging just a little everyday has a cumulative result that definitely affects me.” Sometimes ‘never’ overindulging causes you to choose to overindulge a bit, but everyday. (After all, it’s just a bit!) Choose one and ask yourself if this is true everyday or just once: In your Job, your family, your hobby, exercising etc. The ‘profitable’ answer is different in each case! ————————– These are related: # 1 Ferris Wheel – 24 The Wedge – 26 Discounting Self – 40 So What! 47 Gold Stamps – 67 Personal Nag – 73 Killing Frogs – 91 Dieting – 96 Habits
