Lately, I’ve complained about my weight, my energy levels, etc. I started down a path of trying to not work at night, trying to go to bed earlier, trying to eat better and get more exercise. I’ve started this path twice this year. And, per my usual, all of that went down the tubes, twice.
I can’t tell if it’s because I’m a pushover about work or if it’s because I’m lazy about taking care of myself, but I always revert to these bad habits. Why is it so much easier to fall into bad eating and exercising and sleep habits and so darn hard to correct them?
So for the first time in my life, I’m considering some extreme methods. I’ve started researching vitamin b12 shots. Apparently, they give you energy. Is this the solution to why I never feel rested enough? I’ve also visited the Alli site several times wondering if a weight-loss pill is my next step in losing my belly. I’m still apprehensive about both of these. They seem slightly dangerous to me.
But also, I haven’t really given myself the chance to get “back in the groove” of eating and sleeping well, exercising and exercising my right to say “No” at work. But I am going to … that is when I get over this flu. If I can accomplish and maintain these things without the aforementioned alternative methods, then why bother? A little voice in my head though says, “They might help you do this quicker.”
There in lies one of the major reasons I tend to fail. I’m impatient. When I go walk or run on the treadmill or go to yoga, I want my pooch belly to deflate as if in a cartoon. And when after a few attempts, I don’t see results, I get discouraged and figure why bother?
I know many people go through this and I know I’m not alone.
