Mon, Jan 23 - time to STOP...

I've often thought about
if I was diagnosed with something
that I could slow, stop, reverse
I would
immediately
do whatever
it took



so why
why?!
do I choose
to procrastinate
healthy living?
why
why?!
do i take my health for granted?

This book focuses on behaviors and not so much on nutrition or exercise specifics (although it does touch on them), so it should pretty much fit with any food or exercise plan. Very briefly, his 12-STOPS [not steps]:

• STOP procrastinating
• STOP making excuses; e.g. fat genes, culture
• STOP sitting on the couch
• STOP ignoring signals from your body; fatigue, bloating, etc
• STOP listening to destructive criticism
• STOP expecting immediate success
• STOP whining
• STOP making exceptions
• STOP storing provisions for failure; clean that junk food out of the house, car, office, etc
• STOP fueling with contaminated food; sugars, trans fats
• STOP allowing food to be a reward
• STOP neglecting your spiritual health

The book has a chapter on each of these, that goes into detail and gives specific examples and anecdotes.
