You either like rock-cut abs more than donuts, or you like donuts better than having abs so cut that you can do the laundry on it. It’s that simple. Don\u2019t complain by saying that you are not disciplined. Don\u2019t drown in an ocean of carbs to silence remorse. Simply admit that you prefer eating junk food than being strong and healthy.<\/p>\n
Or ask yourself the question, \u201cWhat do you really like?\u201d\u00a0Self-esteem is the reflection of judgments one makes ofoneself.

Be what you want to attract in your life. To act with love toward oneself is the quickest way to lead a more enjoyable and productive life.<\/p>\n
Discipline does not exist. There is only love. Love is the most powerful creative force in the universe. You are the result of what you love most.
