Ok, I admit I have dieted for a long time on various low carb diets, Atkins, *******, South Beach. I was off South Beach for a month and I gained it all back and maybe them some, just because I indulged to the point of gluttony almost knowing I was going back onto my diet soon.
So I restarted yesterday but I happened upon one of the very basic ideas that seems to have sabotaged me from the beginning. If I don't see results, I want to quit. If I stall for any length of time I DO quit because the frustration outweighs the knowledge that I am eating better and moving downwards ultimately.
So how do I get over that? I'm odd I guess, there's no real reason for me to lose weight aside from health issues, my family, my career and personal well-being but for some reason, those don't seem to matter to me. I don't seem to have that personal fire I see a lot of people have when they are making a change for the better. Therefore I need the result of instant gratification to keep me going.
I don't know what I am asking I guess. I just wonder if there are people like me out there who don't feel inspired to lose weight but know I should.... other people who cannot seem to stick to a diet cause it's not producing results. I feel like a spoiled brat throwing a tantrum when I type this I want it NOW!
