Tyler+F.




 * I have chosen to perfect temperence. It is eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation. I understand this as eating when you're not even hungry. It is eating just to eat because you have nothing else to do. Also drinking for a reasonable cause not just to get a buzz. I have chosen this because I am always eating when I am bored and have nothing to do. As well as, eating a large amount at one time. I plan to cut back on the amount I partake. I also plan on reducing the kinds of bad foods that enter my body. I don't drink, so this virtue is mainly on eat not to dullness.

I will perfect this virtue by watching what I eat and when I eat. I am not going to snack during the day as well as before bed or late at night. I will try to be more active so I don't become bored and sit around and eat. During lunch at school I will only eat certain foods. I will control how much food I intend on purchasing to eat. My mind sometimes takes over my stomach so I have to stay busy and keep my mind off of food. I will be more active until I feel I have perfected this virtue. || media type="custom" key="3671343" ||



Update #1 My first day of temperance was not the best day of my life but I did meet a few requirements. I did not eat any snacks before bed. I did eat more than I would've liked, but oh well.

Update #2 Another update on my pursuit of perfecting temperance. I kept my snacking to a minimal but the amount I ate was more than I would like. I have started eating more than I desire but I keep watching what I eat. My food choices are not the best this week but I play three sports so I need to eat more calories than everyone else.

//Tyler, You certainly do need more calories if you're playing so many sports. How else could you practice temperance besides in just your eating habits? Mrs. V

Update #3 This past week I have been struggling to stay true to my virtue. I am doing well, but it is getting hard. I will try even harder to stay on task.

Update #4 The past couple days have been hard for me. My mom makes a lot of good meals at home and I can't stop myself. Ok, so I over exaggerated but I have trouble keeping my virtue inmind around food. I will try even harder to perfect temperance.//
