I was reading the post on people who have "tried everything" to lose weight and make excuses while they eat terrible things for their bodies.
And I have been thinking about this a lot because I always put off my diet. Had I started earlier, I would be 200 by now...but I'm not.
Why? Because I was making excuses. I said, "Today is Sunday and I'm hunrgy. I'll start tomorrow."
"Well...I binged...so I'll just wait until later to start my diet."
"I'll wait until my sleep in on track. I mean, it's only rational."
I never complain about not losing weight because I know why I'm not losing. I could lose weight in a number of ways...but I know the two things you need TO lose weight: The WANT to lose weight and the ability to stick to your own rules.
You need the ability to say, "I'm going to do this TODAY!" and the ability to say no to yourself when you make up excuses for yourself.
"Just do it. Follow your own rules."
And the number one way to NOT follow your own rules? To ceaselessly plan your diet day after day instead of sticking to the simple rules.
My biggest problem is to stop thinking about food. I truely think I am a better person on a diet. I am lazy when I can eat anything I like. But on a diet I do many things to keep from thinking about food.
Anywho...what things help all of you...or what is your own "secret to weight loss"?
Mine is simply self discipline.
