What does one think when someone writes so very persuasively and yet their behavior is so contrary to what has been written? Disappointment. What makes us able to talk the talk but not able to walk the walk? Being human! We are all capable of giving advice based on our vast experiences, but often we are not able to live up to the advice that we give.
And why does this fault so often come to light when dealing with weight issues? Are our body images so much a part of our psyche that we cannot separate what we want to be from what we actually are? Perhaps the failures of others in this regard just exacerbate our own failures?
What to do about it?
*Quit thinking I can eat whatever I want to and that I am in control!
OK, that was negative. Let's try the positive approach.
*Control the portions of what I eat and control the food itself.
*Drink 8 glasses of water a day. Just have a glass on the sink and fill it!
*Walk at least 1/2 hour a day 5 days a week. NO excuses.
*Log in everything I put in my mouth.
*Take a positive approach to life!
I don't normally make resolutions and I don't know that these are really 'resolutions', but they are just some small things that are doable in my real world.
