The First International Syndicalist Congress was a meeting of European and Latin American syndicalist organizations at Holborn Town Hall in London that began on this day in 1913. The congress was attended by 38 delegates representing 65 organizations from Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Cuba, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, with a total membership between 220,000 and 250,000.
Despite being marked by heated disagreements over both tactics and principles, the Congress succeeded in creating the International Syndicalist Information Bureau as a vehicle of exchange and solidarity between the various organizations, and the "Bulletin international du mouvement syndicaliste" as a means of communication. It would be viewed as a success by almost all who participated.

But first and foremost I've learned about the idea of "yes and" for food cravings. Like, if you want chips, you can put them on top of/as a side for a lean meat with a side of veggies or something. Ice cream could be a base for fruit with flax seeds and nuts. That way updating your diet isn't a depriving yourself of foods you want, but it's about making less room for low nutritional meal choices. E.g. I woooould gorge on McDonald's, but I just had all this seed&nut ice cream. I think that's a good way to breed success.
I think a way that breeds a lot of failure and bad feelings is using calorie counting before learning habits that inspire more nutritional density. If you portion out 2 baconators and don't eat for the rest of the day you're gonna feel like garbage.
Ultimately, I don't think you deserve to feel bad about your body for any reason besides your own. Your endeavors for more health don't have to be based on self-hatred to be successful. Cbum, Mr. Olympia, talks on this point about how people get mad at him because he's not "of the mindset" with all the rage and pain. However, at the end of the day, if your motivational calculus tells you to change your body, it will always come back, at some level, to taking some responsibility for your diet and exercise.
