I would encourage you to take a look at Finding a Healthier Lifestyle - Committing to Change posted recently on dumb little man. The author has experienced a 40 pound weight loss that he attributes to these key steps:
- Acknowledge Self Destructive Behaviors
- Realize the Succumbing to these Pressures is a Choice
- Resolve to Change and Commit
- Prepare to be Self-Motivated
I really relate to what he is saying, and have been making a conscious effort to follow these steps.
I’ll give last night as a great example. I drove my 80 minute commute home and passed on the opportunity to stop at fast food like I would have in the past (I have acknowledged this as a self destructive behavior). I made a choice to wait until I got home to eat and then to have a chopped salad and some soy crisps (I chose not to succumb to something bad). I resolved though that before I ate I would get a cardio workout in when I got home (what a big change from hitting the couch). I don’t have a personal trainer pushing me and the house was empty - but I put in my time on the treadmill regardless (I was self motivated).
It’s really all about choice. And I am choosing to finding a healthier lifestyle.
