End Optional Suffering: Think Happy Thoughts by Janice Taylor, Weight Loss Artist, Positarian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Are You Suffering<\/em>?<\/strong> The \u2018agreed upon reality\u2019<\/em> is that in order for you to lose weight that you must suffer. The consensus of opinion is that slimming down requires an inordinate amount of effort, self-discipline, and tremendous effort.\u00a0 Ugh! Yes? No? Maybe?<\/p>\n

Do you believe that you must suffer?\u00a0<\/strong><\/em> Do you agree that permanent fat removal; living a healthy life requires great and painful suffering?\u00a0 Because, you know, it’s optional!<\/p>\n

Yup, your suffering is optional, as in you don’t have to suffer if you don’t want to.\u00a0 You can let go of the struggle in any moment, at any time, like now.\u00a0 Yes!\u00a0 Now!<\/p>\n

Optional Suffering:<\/b><\/em>\u00a0 It\u2019s not necessary and, if anything, it will only serve to weigh you down, slow your process and progress.<\/p>\n

How to End Optional Suffering<\/em>!\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Know that it is your thought<\/strong> about something, about an event, about a person that is causing the suffering. \u00a0<\/strong>2.\u00a0 Remember that thoughts are<\/strong> not necessarily accurate; they are merely suggestions<\/strong>.
\n3.\u00a0 Question the thoughts<\/strong> that cause your suffering.<\/p>\n
