The Negative Calorie Diet
Finally, a diet that makes sense! This weight loss plan takes a positive
approach by telling you what you can eat, instead of what you can’t.
And best of all it helps you to combine foods so that you wind up with 0
calories!

Welcome
It’s hard to believe but it has been 7 weeks now of the Balance
Boosters newsletter and we’re still growing! I would like to thank all
of you who have stuck with me since the very first issue. I hope that
you are continuing to be blessed and motivated each week to move forward
and do what you have been put on this earth to do.
To all those who have recently joined us, welcome and thank you for
signing up.
The last two issues I have opted to put in stories written by other
writers in hopes of giving you a fresh perspective. This week it will
be my words you read. I have also included a weekly affirmation in the
place of a quote. This may be an area where I rotate between a quote and
an affirmation, depending upon the feature article. Let me know what you
like better. If you feel more motivated by an affirmation, let me know
and vice versa. Send your comments to my new e-mail:
die-@balanceboosters.com. Website coming very soon!
In the future I would like to open this newsletter up to any of you who
may be writers and who have a story to tell. I don’t foresee being able
to pay for articles but will be willing to provide a hefty by-line. I
will also be opening up the newsletter to advertising. If you have
information that you would like to share with others on this list that
you think would be beneficial you will soon have the opportunity. Ad
rates will be announced.

Face the Day With Confidence
By Dietta L. Stewart ã2002
Getting up and getting ready is a very important part of our day
whether we are a stay at home mom, work at home mom, or a woman who
works outside the home on a full-time or part-time basis. As we prepare
ourselves for the day we pour fuel into our emotional, physical and
mental tanks.
How we prepare for the day really determines what kind of day we will
have. My friend Susan, who is a SAHM once told me that her day goes so
much better when she gets up before her daughter Emily and takes a bath.
This quiet time prepares her body, mind and spirit for the busy day
ahead. It helps her keep her sanity.
Personally, I have found that my routine for getting ready for the day
definitely sets the tone for that day. I have found that when I get up
before the hustle and bustle of my family starts I feel as if I can
attack the day, instead of the day attacking me. During this time I try
to do some exercise to get my body moving and awake. Then I shower,
dress and have a short devotion. Later, I eat breakfast with my family,
or after the kids are off to school. I try to take extra time to “fix
myself up” instead of rushing in and out of the bathroom barely seeing
my reflection in the mirror. This is a time to focus on you, to
minister to yourself so that you can minister to others.
On the days when I sleep too long, skip exercise, skip devotion (or
rush through it), and do not take time to minister to myself with extra
care, my day is off kilter. I feel like I’m one step or even two steps
behind all day. I don’t feel pretty or confident. It’s more of a
struggle to get through my day and to do the things I need to do.
Life happens, and sometimes we are not able to spend the time we need
nurturing ourselves in this special way to prepare for our day. That’s
just the way it is. But let’s try really hard to do it as often as
possible because truly we are worth it—not because L’Oreal says so—but
because we are daughters of a loving God and He says so. And his
appraisal of our worth makes it so. Face the day with confidence.
Nurture your unique beauty.
