I second that Deb.

In another post Reinhard talked about being cruel to yourself after a S 
fest
on a No S was the most unproductive activity out.

By overeating we have already made a bad choice, screwed up. To follow 
that
up with harsh and cruel words will continue the downward spiral.

Instead, say yes, that wasn't so good, bye I am a fine person, who is doing
his or her best, and now I will make the constructive choice and get back 
to
No S principles.

I have come from a place where I continually excoriated myself, slashing 
and
cutting myself internally. I can tell you love, compassion and forgiveness,
for yourself and others is a much better place. Start with yourself. Love
yourself. Your weight isn't a outward barometer of how lovable you are.

I am working towards the point where my love and acceptance of myself is
such that I make nutritious, healthy food (and other) choices because of
that love. Not out of discipline (in its cruel sense) but because I want 
to.

love

PS I grew up on a farm, and pigs are funny, clean, clever animals. Have 
you
noticed how pink they look even though their stys are often muddy.
