Who Is Winning?

"Sometimes you will feel a struggle between your old self and
the new, healthy Self you have decided to become.

I signed up for these free texts from Bill Phillips - if you don't know who he is, check out his website at Transformation.com This one came at a most appropriate time for me. I am learning how to deal with stress in my new healthy lifestyle, and more often than not the old self wants to emerge and cope with stress using old habits and negative thought processes. The key is for me to recognize that and let the new self deal with it in more appropriate ways. Can I tell you how seriously hard that is? On the days when I am exhausted, over-hungry, emotionally spent, stressed to the hilt, or just plain lonely that old self wins begins to take the lead. It is a constant struggle to keep the new self in the lead. I look forward to the day when the old self no longer even exists.
