    I used to say all of those things. And more, like someone else said. And the reason is, I have an all or nothing attitude.

    I need to have 3 hours to clean my whole house, or else I won't do anything.
    I need to be able to start and finish a big project all in one sitting, or else I won't do any part of it.

    I was never very good at breaking things up into smaller goals and working a little bit at it every day, no matter what it was, and my health and weight loss was no exception.

    But, we realize that it is all the little choices we make every day that add up, for the good or for the bad, on our bodies. I knew that in my head, but it was very hard to translate that into real action. Because you know, I just wanted to diet for 2 weeks and be done with it. Hahaha. Yeah......

    Anyway, that is why I think I always said those things. And the process here has been to retrain my thinking as much as my behaviors.
