Hello!
I'm a new member here, and I'd like to ask if anyone has any advice for losing weight when you have an all-or-nothing mentality. (As in, "If I don't lose weight I'm just a failure at everything" or "I need to lose it all NOW!")
I'm having a hard because I feel horribly inadequate due to how I'm really easily distracted from, say, how I'm supposed to be taking a walk or riding my bike, by homework or drawing. I want to be TOTALLY dedicated and have ALL of my ducks in a row...but I don't. And that's frustrating, y'know?
Inadequate doesn't even cover it. Really, I feel like a waste most of the time.
I'm just going to keep plodding along, though, because that's what I do. I just hope plodding doesn't get any harder than it is now, 'cause then I don't know what I'll do!
Take care,
K-13

K-13, if some of us did't plod we would never move at all. Weight loss for most of us is a life issue. Up one day, down the next. Staying focused is hard, especially a a young age when so much is going on around you. here's a thought to help you focus. If your getting ready to go on a walk or exercise start saying to yourself - "now I'm going to walk, (or whatever) repeat that at least 50-60 timesin a row. It will help remind you of what you started off doing and might help you finish.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
