There's really no point in having an anonymous blog if you can't even be honest there.
Because of this belief, I have a tendency to avoid posting any time I'm doing poorly. I don't want to face/admit to failure, and it would be stupid to lie, so I just shut my eyes and turn away, figuring no one will notice in any case.
Well you know what? That's a perfect example of why I keep screwing up. If I can't even be honest with myself and face my problems like a grown-up I will never, ever get what I want. So I'm going to do my very best to post here every day, whether I'm doing well or not. I have to be accountable to something.
In light of this, I'm compiling a list of the things I need to do every day, and will award myself one success point for each item completed.
1. <250 calories
2. Cardio
3. Weights
4. Blog
5. 6+ cups water
It's not that much, and it's not that hard. I want to shift my focus and enjoy the small successes I have every day instead of trying to be impossibly perfect. It's going to take time to lose weight, even if I do everything right, and I can't keep letting myself get discouraged when I'm still fat after a few days of fasting. My unrealistic expectations are completely ridiculous and need to be squashed, pronto.

Do you have a prize or a reward if you accumulate so many success points? That could actually be a really cool idea lol. Just sayin.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually considering it - I need to think of a good prize. I tend to just buy things when I want them (screws up reward systems as well as my finances), so I'll need to stop myself from doing that. ;)
