[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Willpower is hard - you have to exercise it every time you make a decision, so there are lots of opportunities for your willpower to fail. Try to instead make rules, not choices. One might be "I don't eat after dinner." You just don't. You don't have to decide whether to have a cookie or an apple (you are going to eat the cookie if you even consider a cookie an option.) Its a rule, like putting on your seat belt. You don't chose whether you want to wear a seatbelt each and every time. You just do it. I forget which book I read talked about making rules rather than trying to rely on willpower, and it seems silly but it works for me.[/quote] I agree with this. My personality is such that I do better with hard rules. No eating between meals. If I do it one day, I will keep doing it for five days and blow up all my hard work. I find tracking, weighing myself every day, and setting some rules like no eating between meals is what helps me the most.[/quote]
