Men of England! who inheritRights that cost your sires their blood.
Coming events cast their shadows before.
He scorn’d his own, who felt another’s woe.
O leave this barren spot to me! Spare, woodman, spare the beechen tree.
Tis distance lends enchantment to the view, and robes the mountain in its azure hue.
Ye are brothers! ye are men! And we conquer but to save.
What though my winged hours of bliss have been, Like angel visits, few and far between.

Don’t count calories, don’t hate carbs, don’t go to the Stone Age. Simply eat real food, healthy food, and find ways to love every bit of food and the health that results. It will become a lifelong habit and you can leave the yo-yoing behind.
Big Truth, once understood and assimilated, always modifies your intent, and invariably leads to personal change.
The quality of your being expresses the correctness of your understanding. Think.
