  The first morning I awoke in the house where Cathy Freeman once lived-in Miller Street, Richmond, an inner city suburb of Melbourne, my eyes caught upon a black and white sticker, with a name and number on it, pasted(粘贴)to a mirror beside the bed.The number and word were “48.60, Atlanta”.Cathy had typed the famous prediction(预言)on a sticker ages before the 1996 Olympic Games, as an affirmation(断言)of the time she wanted to run in the 400 m final.

  Cathy thought she was typing the time that black French woman, the pretty Marie-Jose Perec, had run to win the 400 m gold medal at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992.She believed she’d have to aim to run at least that fast in Atlanta but she got it wrong.Perec ran slower, 48.83 seconds in Barcelona.But what matter? The power of the mind! In Atlanta Cathy ran what she typed, or near enough, 48.63.To gaze(注视)at that time, still there, to see her grand ambition(抱负)-it was then a whole second faster than she had run before-was to become history.As I stood there I saw her once more in slow motion, in Atlanta, pushing herself to the edge, and beyond.Above the number was another sticker with the words “World’s Greatest Athlete”.They were the words Cathy had copied from an old sticker that her mother had given her as a teenager, a legend(座右铭)to paste on her bedroom wall to flow into her daughter’s mind, and it had worked.

I know what you’re thinking : pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a. m. if you want to.
I know lots of women who skip breakfast , and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it . Some say they don’t have time. others think they’re “saving” calories, still others just don’t like breakfast food . 
But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking , R , D , who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece. 
Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southem California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal. 
So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.
