Self-discipline is when the desire to become the highest version of yourself outweighs the desire for cheap pleasures.
A thread on reaching your potential:
@cadlymack That’s not true. I wouldn’t. My comprehension is just fine. I’m just pointing out that you haven’t said a word about the horrific Israeli deaths that Hamas is so proud of but NOW you’re heartbroken.
@cadlymack And you’re not heartbroken for the elderly, the disabled, the sick, the beheaded babies, the kidnapped kids, the raped women, that were killed in Israel?
Eat donuts & pancakes and no one bats an eye.
Eat a mango and everyone starts crying about how much sugar they have.
I see a lot of fear mongering about fruit on the internet and I want to set the record straight.
When we eat foods that naturally contain sugar there are several steps the body has to take to digest and extract it.
These steps allow their nutrients to be absorbed later in the digestive tract causing a stabilized increase of sugar in the bloodstream.
When you eat foods that contain refined sugars (ie. cupcakes) there is little mechanical digestion that occurs to separate the sugar from the rest of the ingredients.
This sugar passes through our stomach faster & causes a bigger spike in blood sugar.
There is a massive difference in the sugar you get from fruit and processed foods.
I have yet to see one person get fat from eating too much fruit.
Don't be afraid of eating fruit. Eat them in moderation and you should be good to go.
Now if you excuse me I'm going to go enjoy this delicious mango.

The absolute mess I became when this transition happened from Brimsley and Reynolds dancing to just Brimsley dancing alone … I will never be the same #QueenCharlotte#Bridgerton
