Mind you this is only me and what (so far) has made a difference to me in the terms of weight loss.
I was reading a book by Rick Jarow about career change which has little to do with weight loss, but in a section of the book it was talking about where you are at the present moment and excepting where you where and who you where at that moment. For some reason focusing on now instead of days, weeks, months, years from now made a big difference to me. All I need to do is get though now and it all became doing things just one step at a time.
And you are not alone, I have been making excuses for myself for years and I have been trying to loose weight for years and for some reason that focusing on now just made it easier.
Of course old habits die hard and I still find myself focused on the future or the past or my failures or my hoped for success and that is when I become frustrated and start NOT doing what I know I should. But when I get there I just go back to thinking about the moment I am in and what I need to do now and I regain my focus and except the fact that I am only human and make mistakes from time to time, forgive myself for it and stay on. |
Very well said. You are definitely not alone and there is nothing wrong with you at all. Believe it or not a lot of these issues you cite will go away along with the weight.
