Two voices.

I sometimes wonder if I am going mad as whenever I am on any kind of healthy eating plan I have two voices in my head.One that is encouraging and keeps me aware that I am fabulous and that I will be AMAZING once I lose 56lbs..
Then there is a annoying voice that tells me to have what I want and start the diet tomorrow.It's like a constant battle and drives me mad.I think this is what makes losing weight hard for me.
Does anyone else have the "second voice"?
Also the first time I used Paul Mckenna's "I will kae you thin" cd it actually worked yet only lasted a short while.I then bought acai berries.They worked for a short while.Not sure why nothing works on me...but I never give up trying. :o)

    mine tells me that it's worth it, that i'll achieve the body of my dreams if i keep up this hard work.

    the other one says you're in college, eat whatever while you're young. that cupcake looks delicious.

    lol...the name of mine is " total lack of willpower". I am very strong minded,I gave up smoking 15 years ago,no problem what so ever.........but my weight has been the bane of my life.How can one be so strong minded yet not have any willpower to lose weight?
    Wish they sold willpower in bottles.:laugh:

    it happens to me CONSTANTLY... like even when I'm doing awesome, and I'm on track and losing weight like no tomorrow, and feeling great because of it, deep down the saboteur voice pops up and is like 'you've been working so hard, you deserve to indulge!' and i'm like 'yeah, i do deserve to indulge!' and then i have to RE-LOSE the same freaking weight over and over again!

    Lately I've just been trying to take it one day at a time. Focus on making positive healthy choices all day and only for that day, and then the next morning start all over again. Bottom line, it's super hard work, and I think it will always be hard work for me, but in the end I know it's worth it!

    I completely agree with you! It's like whenever I start dieting, my "other" voice starts to crave every out landish food I would have never even wanted had I not told myself that I was "dieting". It's been difficult for me at best, but I think I have finally found my nitch. My goal is to loose 70 puonds.. I know it sounds like a lot, but when your 5'9, 248lbs, I have some weight to spare. LOL! Well just tell your other voice to kick rocks! Remember nothing taste as good as "skinny" feels. LOL!

    Both of mine call me a pathetic failure. One yells when I eat what I shouldn't, and the other screams if I fail a PR attempt on a lift. It makes for excellent motivation, really. I am blessed to not have an "it's okay to suck" voice.
