How to overcome laziness?

I have no support on here, everyone is concentrated on themselves and pretty much never comment, never suggest anything...

People are taking time out to help you here, you seemed grateful for it in your last post, what changed?

The easiest way for people to help is to relate back to their own experience and tell you what helped them. What more do you want? At the end of the day this is your issue...people can give you advice on what to eat, how to exercise etc but no one in this world can get your butt off of the couch other than you. Enough with the excuses and blaming other people!

Just tell yourself that you are going to workout for 5 mins. Go for a 5 minute walk. You'll be surprised how much longer it turns out to be.

I'm so lazy...that none of those suggestions seem to stick.

so you said you're a medical student.

tell us makes you study/go to med school ? what's your motivation. why aren't you lazy with med school & studying ?

I'm starting to think this is trolling at work.

OP has some interesting postings....

1 - find alternative activities you enjoy doing besides sitting in front of the tv.
2 - stop making excuses.

Like I stated earlier.............................maybe you need a health issue to change your mind before you do it. Your expectations of a little exercise yielding great results is unreasonable. But really, you're the only one who can decide to stop being lazy or not. As it sounds, you're not interested in being fitter. So just eat less.

Read the book "The Power of Habit." It provides great insight into why we do (or don't do) the things we do. Essentially, you need to force yourself to do the things that will give you the results you want for long enough for them to become a habit.

Most people don't "WANT" to count calories, limit their eating to mostly healthy foods, or work out on a regular basis. Especially not at first. The best advice I've ever received is to treat working out like a job. Most days, I'm not looking forward to getting up and going to work when my alarm rings. I'd much rather stay in bed, watch TV and be lazy. Yet, I get up and go to work anyway, because I like the results -- money to pay for food, shelter, clothing, cars, vacations, etc. I look at working out/logging food the same way. They are behaviors that create a more favorable existence for me, so I keep doing them.

It does get easier as your neural circuits become programmed to support your new habits. Interestingly enough, as I've gained discipline in eating and working out, the discipline has spread to other areas of my life as well. I am much better at keeping my house clean, managing my finances, and am able to juggle a full-time job, a full-time doctorate program and being a mom. I would have never had the energy or the drive to accomplish those things before.

Only thing I am kind of interested that would pay a crap ton of money.

You'd better work on new habits now, because I've worked with hundreds of doctors in the 17 years that I've been a nurse, and I don't think I've ever met a lazy doctor. You'll never survive your internship and residency if you don't build some good habits, work on your health, and develop some strategies to motivate yourself. Docs make a lot of money, but they also work 14 hour days on a regular basis.

OP, it's not nice to ask for support and misrepresent yourself repeatedly to others.

From one of your previous posts regarding your "medical school": "It's a second quarter, out of 9. It's a college program to get certificate and then for diploma. "

Med school is not a certificate/diploma program. Medical school is graduate education that is undertaken once you've received a bachelor's degree. I believe that what you're doing is "Medical Office Assistant" program. That's not anything close to "Med School" and you are not a "Med Student." Unless you're some type of Doogie Houser, you've not completed 4 years of college and been accepted to med school.

Shame on you for misrepresenting yourself while asking for support from others.

Excuse me??? Not call myself med.student???? Shots, blood, crap testing, allergy testings, 9 certificates and licenses and that's nothing?
Screw you!!!

It's a total of 2-3 years of education. So go away!

Yes, it is. It is Medical Office Assisting. Med school is typically reserved for medical students -- students who are studying to be Medical Doctors (M.D.s).

Ok OP. You sound super young and immature.

Let me tell you what's going to happen.

You are either going to get off your keester and change your life for the better or you are going to continue to be lazy and continue to gain weight.

Complaining - projecting blame - shutting down others suggestions means you are not ready for the process.

You won't change until you are ready. Period.

Grow up a bit - get your priorities straight and try again soon.

THE HELL???

It's CLINICAL MEDICAL ASSISTANT. Buuuurn you just failed.

SAME THING as nurse except no wiping crap from patients and not removing sutures!!!And of course not as many certificates.

Oh for crying out loud. I thought you were a MED STUDENT - like you said you were. :grumble: A med student is a person on the path to becoming a doctor. That explains a lot....
