>>7388001Lost like 20kg and I'm getting my shit together, a few thoughts on self improvement:
Seems like you need to become aware of what you're doing before you can change something, so you need to generate some kind of feedback mechanism that works. In terms of eating for me that means being aware of what I eat, when I eat, how much and so on. I write everything down. You might have different needs but I'm sure can figure it out.
Making mistakes is ok if you learn from them. The format of my personal protocol went through many different permutations until I arrived with something I'm comfortable with, but I still make mistakes and improve on stuff. It's ok if it's not perfect and so are you, if ackknowledge the issue and improve upon it.
Self-dicipline is overrated, I think. Every time I tried to change a lot I ended up changing almost nothing at all. Apparently habits need on average like 60 days to change, up to hundreds of days for specific cases. Therefor I started changing key issues slowly, concentrating on those with little steps I was able to take without much effort. Too much effort needs self-discipline to mantain, the right amount doesn't. Maybe it's even beneficial to do a little less than you could but do it right until it becomes a habit. That said, becoming aware seemed the most important to me. I started to weigh myself daily, then twice and tried to concentrate on that. Then I started to save the date in a format I was figuring out and expanded on that slowly. Like starting to weigh my portions. From there I was zeroing in on bad habits like sugar intake and tried to limit those. This can be applied to a lot of stuff in comparable manner. Just start little, build upon that, be comfortable but steady towards a goal you choose. If you fail because it took too much effort to handle it's ok to fall back and start small again, you're still better off than when you started.
Just decide you want to change something and then do it.
