Try This For Dinner – Give To Your Self

JUST FOR TODAY:  Give To Your Self!  Take five extra minutes to "plant seeds" for your future weight loss or eating disorder recovery goals.  You will reap what you sow!

The Garden

The ground lies there before me,

But so little seems to grow.

Why are there no flowers blooming?

You only reap what you sow.

So I must plant the right seeds there,

Then the flowers I seek will show.

Where do I find the seeds that I need?

Go within and you will know.

I planted the seeds and flowers emerged,

And now the blossoms seem to glow.

Aren't these flowers spectacular?

You have made them so.
