Why do we deserve something that is bad for us?
This may seem too simple, but, I have always wondered why people think they "deserve" something that is bad for them?
We, here at NM, see a big spike of users on Monday and Tuesday, then a gradual decline that includes a total "wipe out" over the weekend. We hear the same thing, "I've been good so now I can celebrate". Celebration always mean "let's eat" and eat poorly. The good you did at the beginning of the week can be totally erased by Sunday night.
I believe we all deserve to be healthy. But, it's up to us to do it for ourselves. On NutriMirror you can actually see how your choices are effecting your health. Take advantage of this knowledge. Check your Reflection Analysis daily. There's a lot you can learn from that page.
Keeping ourselves as healthy as possible is up to us as individuals. Make the right choices. I know it's not easy. What do you do that you have had to learn to do and now it's easy?
Do one healthy thing a day. Make one good food choice a day. You may make that a habit. Small changes can add up.

Diet questions and things to ponder
1. Are you on a diet?
2. How long have you been on this particular diet?
3. Have you been on other diets?
4. How long did you stay on your diet?
5. If you have been on other diets how long do you usually stay?
6. What makes you go off a diet?
7. Do you ever reach a weight goal?
8. What have you learned from your diets?
9. Have you ever been on a diet and said it worked, only to gain back the weight?
10. Did you do the diet again or try another diet?
11. Are you on a diet that supplies food? How long do you buy their packaged food?
12. Do you take a diet pill or drink? What happens when you stop?
13. Why is the diet industry so big?
14. How many diet books have you bought?
15. All diets promise great results and new diets pop up all the time, if each diets promise is true, why do new ones keep coming up?
16. And, why do we need to keep repeating them?
NutriMirror was built because of Jim's health issues, but over the course of Jim's life he too has been on numerous diets. Crash diets, Pritikin diet, liquid diet, you name it and he has probably tried it. All with the promise of weight loss. And, they did work, while he was on their plan. But, he never learn to make his own choices, he was never taught new life style changes. So, he always fell back to old habits.
He has said, over and over, had he seen the consequences of his choices, back then, the way he can see them now on NutriMirror, he would have made better choices.
NutriMirror is a tool. A tool that let's you see how your choices are affecting your body.
Jim is the reason for the site, and is the reason it is so easy and uncluttered to use. Mike is the reason the site is here and that it works so well.
My guys!

Thanks Mike!
This was posted, in response to Mike releasing the MOBIL FOOD JOURNAL. Thanks jazumont and all the others who have responded.
Mike, I don't know if you have thought about this, but the work you do to support this site really is something that touches so many people's lives. Your list of to-do's probably gets so big and maybe might feel like a burden sometimes (I'm guessing), but you contribute in big ways to make this world a better place. This wonderful tool that you and your family have created is helping people become fit and healthy THE RIGHT WAY. This is helping people transform their lives. How often can someone say they help transform people's lives, and so broadly and so greatly?
So a BIG THANK YOU for all your work. It is obvious everyone here appreciates all you do. I know we all want this tool to be the easiest thing to use because it is the greatest tool that exists and it is a part of our lives every day. And of course, the easier it is to use, the more people will catch on and be willing to use it, which will transform more lives.
Wow!

Sometimes I don't want to eat., but I'll drink...
Do you ever feel like that? Either to tired or to lazy (is there a difference?),or not hungry, don't want to cook, or any other excuse you might come up with.
This is my problem. There are some days I have to make myself eat my calories. I understand, this is the last thing you want to hear. How is this possible? Most people eat to much, too may calories, too much sodium etc.
I can eat too much also. So, I'm versatile.
I know, because of NutriMirror, I need to eat a certain amount of calories. I also need to meet my nutritional needs. So, how do I handle this?
I have a "go to Slurpy". 7 items, 252 calories. Check out the fiber and vitamins. 2 ounces each, apple, banana, blueberries, strawberries, spinach, orange juice and 15 grams Chia green + omega 3. Ice as needed.
