When I feel empty,
when it seems that I have given all I have,
and i have nothing left to give to others.

I must fill myself
with positive thoughts and words of acceptance and hope
before I can share positivity with others.

I need to take in the words of other informed and thoughtful people,
listen to their truths, and assimilate that wisdom into myself.

This helps me refresh and rebuild myself.

This is true in all of life,
and all of life, includes doing what is needed
to lose weight and/or maintain my weight-loss,
and dealing with all of the surrounding issues that are involved
with controlling the amounts and types of my food intake.

It's all part of my ongoing Lifestyle, and my Hobby of Dieting.
