'Why would you want to do a thing like that?' :P
Greatest Benefits from MCing...
I usually just tell close friends and let the rest wonder. that is until I get to the mental purging stage , then I let everybody know what I think,ha...I love to raise eyebrows...it means their brain is ticking!
How about the greatest benefits,(for me anyway):
Aids in developing more strength, willpower and love for one's self. Redefining one's relationship with food, the universe and one's self...this is a great time to do it. Addressing and ridding one;s self of the toxins of the mind and soul,in general, are major benefits.
These are the ultimate benefits,in my opinion,and foremost on the list of attributes. I don't think they are mentioned enough.
Getting flabby, lazy, eating crappy, over eating,binge eating,etc, are all issues you can/should address while on the Mc. Please just don't try to lose weight. With every ounce shed, shed some grief.
This is a wonderful time to experience the true power within yourself. Not just drop a few
pounds that will more than likely come back. Not many folks could even last a day...think about it...the term self empowerment comes up...it's so true.
I am one who disagrees with philosophies of orgs and groups like AA, where they brainwash people into thinking they are powerless, on the contrary...you have all the power. Tapping it is an art.
Many don't want you to tap into that power in fear that they will be proven inferior or...lose the power they have over you!(or think they have over you)
Government is a prime example,so is religion,media,power hungry people,etc..
Go 5,10,20,30,40,60 days on the MC, then tell my you are powerless against anything...! You'll laugh with me!
Expect people to attempt to break you down , belittle or frighten you.
Everyone wants to believe that what they believe, and the way they live their
lives is the right way.
We are not as civilized as we would like to believe. The same forces govern us as they did our ancestors. Only a small percentage will rise above the primal urges, fears and drives of cave dwellers. Only a few will realize they deserve or can handle that power. Even fewer will want others to achieve that same power. This forum has many giving people that sincerely wish self empowerment for all... it is a rare gift...
if some seem harsh(I know I can be at times)they are simply trying the best they can to help others. They don't have to spend their time writing and sharing and attempting to help others. Usually , if one gets offended it means the posters are hitting home,or an area that is sensitive needs 'self improvement' and/or evaluation. Some here have 'hit home' with me and I need it. I've been on this board for years and feel like I'm just getting started. Sometimes a cold glass of water thrown in one's face is a good thing...Rock on!
