I am good at admitting that I'm not doing a good job with my nutrition and exercise. I am fairly decent at tracking my blunders. What I am not good at is making sure I finish tracking the day and doing the exercises I need to do. My MFP friends are great, friendly, and supportive; I think I need a few a**holes to call me out on my BS and help keep me more accountable, as in, track everything and post it, and perform some type of physical activity. If you're up to the job, please friend me, I will be happy to return the favor

    You don't need A hole friends. You just need to make it more of a PRIORITY for you. So is it really a priority or are you just winging it hoping for results?

    The only person who can truly motivate you for the long haul is you. :)

    Absolutely it should come from me. Absolutely it is a priority. I sometimes feel like a junkie, though...I swear I'm going to do better, truly want to do better, believe I'm going to do better, but manage to mess up by the end of the day. I have not tried this, and am hoping the haranguing will help me get into the habit, and once it's a habit should be easier to maintain.

    Problem is: how can we verbally punish you for not logging that bucket of fries if we have no idea you had a bucket of fries and you don't own up to eating the fries? Perhaps if you have someone who is always physically present and can do this, it would work better.

    This seems like the kind of job a person would get paid for

    The problem with wanting a'hole friends is that often their idea of what's right and good doesn't align with yours so you end up with some annoying kitten telling you off for eating something that fits perfectly fine into your day or was planned for or whatever.

    You don't really believe this, do you? If you did, you would do it. Asking someone else to be the jerk is shirking your own responsibility for your own accountability.

    I get that it can be tedious, but I would suggest you decide what's more tedious. Being overweight, out of shape and unhappy with yourself? Or doing what you need to do to get and stay healthy.

    Your call, no one elses.
