It's really difficult, and very easy to jump off the wagon. I don't have the answer either. Let's do better tomorrow! <br /><br />Thanks for your wisdom about life working out regarding the jobless guy in my story. I needed some reassurance of that for myself!Genie @ Diet of 51https://www.blogger.com/profile/12666514999795984295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042613739572921643.post-45309445679336385162010-07-13T00:21:21.110+01:002010-07-13T00:21:21.110+01:00FG:

It's a tremendous amount of work changing your lifestyle from the one that makes you comfortable to one that pushes you into discomfort. Inertia is hard to overcome.<br /><br />I wonder if you jumped in with both feet too quickly for your character type. For me, I changed slowly over several months, adding in days of discipline until they were all that way. I don't know if you read the "my plan" (which wasn't really a plan when it started) part of my blog, but I started off just with portion reduction over several weeks then added one disciplined day a week. After I adapted to that one day, I added in another, and then didn't add another until I adapted to those two. Eventually, it was okay to be disciplined every day. Though I won't lie, it is overwhelming doing the actual food prep and planning at times - it's greatly more troublesome than just eating whatever I want or what is easy to get my hands on. That being said, even that work has become more like a "routine" as time has gone by, and I'm talking about making almost all of my own food including bread, muffins, soups, etc. I don't buy anything that is pre-made and I often have to cook two different meals for my husband and I. Few people have to put in the sort of time I do for food preparation. <br /><br />Perhaps you're trying to swim in cold water too quickly and need to ease yourself in a bit at a time. Maybe you need to give yourself a day or two per week to just do what you want without being angry at yourself. I'm not talking about going nuts and bingeing or anything, but maybe you should "schedule" a lax day for yourself so you can let up for a day without the self-criticism. Maybe you need two or three of those days to give yourself the chance to adjust to the discipline. Sure, it'll make things slower, but putting yourself down or feeling bad is going to sabotage your efforts in the long run if you don't cut yourself some planned slack.<br /><br />In regards to procrastination being labeled "fat person's disease", I don't think procrastination is related to weight. I am none of those things and never have been. My problem has been a disordered relationship with food (an emotional and psychological one), not a personality issue. I rarely procrastinate about anything.screaming fatgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556199963917842135noreply@blogger.com
