Diet Tip of the Day

There is a saying in the proverbs, "Iron sharpens iron as one man sharpens another" Proverbs 27:17. 

If you are dieting, look for 1. Others to sharpen and encourage and 2. Someone who is on the same path that can sharpen you.   There is a saying, "Birds of a feather, flock together." You never know?  What you say to someone can influence them enough they can change their life.  If you are looking to stay on a good diet, entertain those thoughts and comments.   If your friend is talking about pizza, don't entertain it.  You can do this in a polite way.  If you entertain the thought long enough it COULD become an action.  So be careful of what you entertain. 

A good way to make other conscious of what the calorie content is to say something positive about the food but don't make it a big issue.  Just plant the seed.  A little here, a little here, and you are on the right path.  The key is to stay on the right path.  

Perhaps that other person is a mentor or a friend.  You don't have to let them know you are mentoring them, just find someone who is doing it better than you. I have people in my life like that.  They don't know it, but I do look up to them.  They are meeting goals I couldn't imagine doing.  However, if they can do it, so can I.  Whether it be dieting goals, fitness goals or financial goals.

This all applies to life.
