Words to ponder

I think I mentioned before that I am reading "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle...well, I just came across a passage, two really, that felt so relevant. This was not in regards to eating/dieting, but towards negativity:

Once you realize a certain kind of food makes you sick, would you carry on
eating that food and asserting that it is OK to be sick?

Hmmmm. And this passage really spoke to me, as I am unhappy living in Sweden, and constantly complaining about it, with a lurking feeling that "most" of my problems will be much lighter when we move home:

See if you can catch yourself complaining, either in speech or in thought, about
a situation you find yourself in, what other people say or do, your
surroundings, your life situation, even the weather. To complain is always
non acceptance of what is, Invariably, it carries an
unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a
victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So, change the
situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or
possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.

Now, I complain about all those things on a weekly, if not daily, basis. Believe me, I speak out about it all the time, but perhaps not in the right way. I am not prepared to leave my husband, so that pretty much leaves acceptance, which is really scary.

Otherwise, I've exercised once (now I must exercise Wed, Thurs and Fri!), drank 2 liters of water so far today, and dug out my ketosticks. I tested lightly positive, but that was after drinking all that water, so I am confident that I'm not ingesting any hidden evils:-)
