Soul 'Full' Soup : A complete meal for a dieting soul

"One only understands the things that one tames,"
said the fox.

~ The Little Prince.

One understands the things one tames- Whip your mind to learn and make it do what you want it to do. I have learnt that the only reason don't get something in life is because you haven't desired it enough and to desire something, you need to tame your demons.  I have tamed some of my demons tonight. I have found time, peace and happiness within myself. I have realized that the more one delves into people to find happiness, the more he feels disappointed. In my own quite time tonight, I have learnt to be happy with myself yet again.I have learnt to keep my thoughts confined to myself again.

I have to be myself-giving it all I can to come to my healthy form and I want to do this being happy. No more frustration and no more tears. I have come out with a nice plan for my days to come. I have already started to work on being healthy and fit. I have to practice keeping my mind calm. I need so much encouragement to do that. I can't let go on my food. Many thanks to my mom- she is the anchor in my life, every time putting me before her. Making the right kind of food, pepping me to go to the gym and helping with the chores. This soup is a complete meal for the dieting soul. It is soulful and most importantly filling with nutrients. This recipe is dedicated my dear mommy.
