Three steps to true happiness

clipped from www.selfhelpmagazine.com 3 STEPS TO TRUE HAPPINESS Norm Ephraim, Ed.D. Let’s face it. We all want to be happy. We all realize, sooner or later, that outer success does not produce lasting happiness. So what does? Loving ourselves and loving others. In fact, we can only love others authentically when we love ourselves. So why is it that some people seem to feel self love easily, while others spend their lives searching in relationships or career accomplishments to find it? While it may seem cliche, the answer does seem to point to experiences in childhood. What we know as self esteem begins, originally, in the esteem parents have for their children. Through the simplest acts of touch, attention to feelings, and guidance toward accomplishment, a child comes to see their own worth reflected in their parents’ eyes. They see themselves as love-able i.e. worthy and able to be loved. These feelings are so powerful that they have been found to influence longevity.

Report From Dubai

Well folks, I am here in Dubai for a few days work and all is well on the food front. I havent got on the scales for a while buthave dropped a size and a half on trousers and one on shirts – so I am pretty happy with that.

Time to up the excercise since I feel more energy now and walking at a good pace.

Since I have cut out wheat I have had no asthma, bloated feeling or heartburn so my guess is I have an intolerance to Gluten.

Dubai is a shock to the system in many ways – surprising, awesome, interesting, stunning,  and horrible all at once. It is as though some one said “here is a long stretch of ocean with a wonderful beach, now build a city to house as many as possible – money no object.” In fact that is probably exactly what happened. It is not unlike something out of bladerunner without skycars. The building are mostly mega highrise and extremely modern. The tallest building in the world is here. It made me feel dizzy just looking at it. I will post some photos when I get back.

Hi there bloggie

I’ve been away for a bit but haven’t forgotten you.

My current weight is 20st 7lbs. I started at 22st 3lbs so I have lost 24lbs which is nae bad for a boy who likes food.

So how is it; is it easy, hard, troublesome, awkward, weird, a deprevation? No its none of these things, it is like any other addictive behaviour I have quit; when I was entirely ready and then willing to make a great big fat issue about it, then it became relatively easy. Dont get me wrong, I have definately had my moments, but that is really all they are, just moments of internal bullshit, lies and self deception – I have learned to ignore these conversations that my greedy dog in the butcher’s shop wants to have with me. You know the stuff: “Go on, just have a wee bite of that pork pie/sausage roll/cake, biscuit” or whatever other stuff I have put off my programme.

Look, I have a good long way to go, but I feel on my programme of life change and that I am moving in he direction that I am chosing – food isnt making the descisions for me.

Lets speak again real soon.

ps I am on the last hole of my belt and gone down 1.5 size in trousers.  (I’ll have tho

Its me slightly thinner in the chops
