I haven't had any dieting motivation for weeks and weeks. I can't find any anywhere.
There must be something you can do. How did you get started on other diets?
I just made myself start, but I'm not able to do that this time. I tried. Well, I thought about trying. I didn't think long though. Before I knew it, some other thoughts pushed there way past my dieting thoughts and there I was with dieting completely obscured by what I was going to do that day, who I was going to see, what I was going to wear, etc.
So, now what are you going to do? Are you still going to try to diet?
I haven't decided, really. You know, I want to. I kick myself for not dieting, for not getting started. But then I run into that same old problem, no motivation.
Maybe you don't really want to diet. Did you think of that?
I did. That's what I think each time my other thoughts squeeze out any thought of dieting. But I can't live with myself unless I start doing something about my weight. I have lots of reasons for starting - health, looks, clothes size, comfort, self-esteem, self-condemnation, pride.
Then why don't your reasons for dieting carry the day? You've got an impressive list there.
List, schmist. For all the good it does me. Nothing on the list outweighs my lethargy. It's like I prefer to keep shoveling the food in. Well, actually, maybe I do prefer it. Funny. I have to do something about preferring to eat before I can even think about dieting. What am I going to do?
Why don't you find out why you prefer something that conflicts with what else you want for yourself.
