Personalize Balance
Author: Kimberly Fulcher  | Posted: 03-07-2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 18 | Rating: (50)  (?) 
 The second most prominent question I encounter as I meet with people around the world has to do with balance. “How do I balance all of the demands of my life; work, home, family and self?”
One Thing To Think About
You are unique, and your life is like no other. What equates to life balance for your neighbor or co-worker probably won’t work for you. You must define balance for yourself.
Balance isn’t necessarily about not being busy, although that may be part of your definition. It’s about taking care of all of you and all of what is important to you.
One Question To Answer
What does your ideal balanced life look like? What do you have time for? What do you get to enjoy? How much down time do you have? Take a few moments and define your balanced life (on paper) right now.
One Challenge To Take
Take one action this week to put just one component of your balanced life into action.
* If your balanced life includes exercise, make appointments with yourself this week to begin training.
* If your balanced life includes time with friends, make a date to get together with a friend you care about.
* If your balanced life includes time invested in a career you love, take one step to begin manifesting your vocational dream.
It doesn’t matter what you do – so long as you do something. Take your first step, and begin living in balance!

Weight obsession
By: scalewatcher88 | 19-08-2008
weight obsession: for as long as i can remember i have not gone through a day without thinking about my weight...i crave food and whenever i do the slightest thing i wonder if it means i can eat something, well fattening. whenever i do eat tho, and at the moment its even with healthy foods, i immediately wonder about the calories and how big its going to make me. The first diet i remember was when i was nine and i'm now almost 20 so its a long term thing that get worse depending on how active i am able to be. I've now just had surgery so have to take it easy and its just awful. I'm not what you'd call tiny,i'm a size 12 5ft8 10st 12. i wouldn't call that overweight either tho, there is a rational part of me that knows this. But when i was younger i was 11st7 by the time i was 12 so felt (and was) massive. also being tall and bigger boned than my friends did not help. my mum and my sister are both obsessed with dieting which i guess doesn't help. Sorry for the rant and have no idea if this is something you could help with but i need some ideas of how to get my thoughts away from this as it affects any relationships that i have, and how i am with people ie if i'm feeling like i've eaten alot then i'm moody. I am sick of feeling like this. there must be more to life than how much you weigh! -scalewatcher88
