Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 I think one of the hardest things to learn if you're a " helping person " by nature is that there are people whom you cannot help and that, ultimately, the determining factor as to whether someone succeeds in improving health (barring the unexpected) is whether he or she has his or her heart in the effort. That said, I must confess (and please don't interpret the following as intolerance) that I just don't understand food cravings or, as so eloquently put it, junk " calling your name " . Yes, food can be delicious. But there isn't a food I can't pass up, especially if it means the difference between life and an early death. But perhaps there's something else at work here: I dare say most of us thought when we were twenty that we were immortal. Likewise, I suspect that far too many of us think complications happen to " those other people " ; they're not going to get *us!* And all-too-many of us find otherwise the hard way when it may be too late (but isn't always, thank goodness). Put another way, in situations such as with 's friend, what we're dealing with is an inability or unwillingness to apply rational thinking to the situation and a lack of self-discipline or, perhaps, even a fatalism ( " eate drink and be merry for tomorrw you may die! " ). Mike > Yes, it is. > > Re: Fw: lab > > It is very hard pat to see friends killing themselves like that.
