Rant number 222
I've decided that maybe, it's time to shift some of my flub. Now, I'm not exactly giving Jabba that Hutt a run for his money, but its time to loose some before I get that way!
As such, I'm trying to change my diet, change my behaviour - and keep an eye on my calorie intake.
What I am not doing however, is going on a diet. I've done that in the past - and it doesn't work! Either I don't loose it, or I put it straight back on - as soon as it's done.
I'm going to see how it goes anyway, and so far - things are going well.
Now, I've been keeping an eye on things for about a week now, and I'm doing pretty well. I'm not, not eating the things I'm want. I'm just eating less, and more sensibly.
There is however, one big enemy to any of these things, and that is Willpower.
Willpower is something that we all struggle with sometimes.
Disciplining your self to do something that isn't easy, or that isn't what you completely want, or that is the long route to what you want isn't easy.
Which is where the little dissenting voice in you says 'is this what you really want, lets just give in.'
It's the thing that stops you doing what you believe in, that stops people giving up smoking, that keeps us from being thin and trim, that stops us from all making ourselves a little better.
It's a loud loud voice at times - the negative one, and our willpowers can be a little voice, very far away.
And do you know what we sometimes need to do:
Give our willpower a megaphone - bring him closer, help him onto his soap box and help him proudly say 'FUCK YOU' to that dissenting voice.
Lets do just that!
Rant over.
