~ DISCIPLINE ~

:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:

Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end.  It's not a
day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's when you've had
everything to do, and you've done it.

Margaret Thatcher

:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:

This quote is so true for me. Many were the days when I would isolate
and procrastinate, allowing the anxiety to build a wall around
me. Today, through program, I have learned that the word discipline
means freedom, not punishment.

As a compulsive eater I could be lazy, slothful, untidy and
undisiplined, doing things only if they were absolutly necessary. I am
learning that laziness doesn't work for me anymore; it only feeds into
my feelings of shame and unworthiness. I am learning to clean my
surroundings, therefore boosting my self-esteem.

ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .

I see discipline, not as a punishment, but as part of a way out of my
disease into recovery.
