While complaining is a common human reaction in the face of difficulty, it can undermine your goals and progress. Have you ever noticed how you feel when you have confronted a problem with a solution as opposed to simply complaining about that problem? I felt empowered when I discovered that I could decrease chronic hunger by eliminating carbohydrates. Before I realized this I noticed that I was ravenous and craved pasta all day.
Finding a solution to my hunger has helped me immeasurably more than complaining about my cravings. I think this is true in life, generally. Chronic whining generates negative emotions that feeds upon itself. Typically, problem solving produces positive energy and promotes growth. Counter your negative thoughts with an optimistic and healthy liveliness. Stay motivated!
