How do you find that elusive thing called Will Power?

    I know it's psychological...but when I try to drum up "willpower" I get a defeatist attitude and it almost makes me feel tired! It seems too elusive. So I try to change my outlook to being more pragmatic about "eating less (and better) and moving more" to get what I want because I know that's the path to success. I accept that I'll have less healthy days and just need to forgive and get back on track. As I said, it's a change in how I look at it rather than thinking I have to climb some imaginary mountain of "willpower". It may not work for others, but it sure lessens the pressure I put on myself. Good luck! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
