Quotes to ponder:


"Forced self-control only works when you're not stressed or tired."


"Without a clear purpose for every item that goes on this list, you'll find yourself ignoring it, or worse, binging on the very things you add to it."


"And that's the beauty of a not-to-give-up list. You put the focus on what's important in your life."
