Do something Friday

Labor Day is here -- the last official weekend of summer.  Your mission, should you choose to accept it?

This weekend isn't going to undo all the
mindful progress you've made.
Set your food worries aside.

Be good to yourself this weekend.

That doesn't mean you have carte blanche to eat whatever comes in front of you -- that is not being good to yourself -- that is living like marine life.  Being good to yourself means stop worrying about the kinds of food you're eating.

It is generally thought that if you eat a healthy diet you will live longer.  That might be true -- however, because there is such conflicting information on what is healthy and what isn't -- you can spend a great deal of time worrying about your choices.  And it is my contention that the worrying is what will kill most of us (or at the very least, rob us of the joys in our lives!)

So don't do it!  Set your eating worries aside this weekend.  Don't think about weight gain from potato salad or ribs.  Enjoy the parties and people and weather that comes with this weekend.  Enjoy where you are and what you're doing.  Ask yourself if you're hungry before the food goes in and make your decision from there.

I hope you have a happy and safe holiday!!
