I know what to do – so why don’t I do it
I’m 54 years old. I’ve been overweight for the past 15 years. I know what I need to do to lose weight. But I don’t do it. Why? Why can’t I make myself do what I need to do? I remember what it felt like to be slim and healthy – I really loved feeling that way. But, I seem to continuously self sabotage. I know that to get up in the morning & exercise, I need to get enough sleep. I’ll get into bed early but then stay up reading until one or two in the morning. Then I can’t get up to exercise before work. In fact, sometimes I’m late to work because I stayed up too late. Then, because I didn’t get into work early enough, I can’t take off in time to go walk in the park by work before it gets dark. So, I tell myself I’ll stop at the gym or I’ll get on the treadmill when I get home but then I don’t. I have the same problem with food – I know what I should eat and what I shouldn’t eat but I still wind up eating junk or eating too much. I’ll have a healthy dinner and then I’ll go and eat a whole second meal. And I buy candy at the grocery store even though I know if I have it in the house I won’t be able to not eat it. The same goes for my work – I know what I need to do to get my work done but I avoid doing it so I’m constantly stressing to get things done at the last minute and often not dong as good a job as I know I could have if I had just worked on it earlier. I also know what I need to do to improve myself and advance professionally but I avoid doing it. It seems I spend my entire life avoiding doing the things that I both want and need to do and I don’t understand why! It’s not a matter of time – I have plenty of time to do all of these things. I am married but I do not have children to take care of, I travel extensively for work so I have plenty of time on airplanes to read and work but I don’t use that time for work – I either sleep or “waste” it playing games or shopping online. Since I am away from home all week I literally have no household chores to do during the week. So I have no excuse for not working out, for not eating properly, for not getting enough sleep and for not getting my work done. I don’t understand why I do this! Why can’t I make my myself do the things I want and need to do? I’m not a complete screw up – I do get things done…it’s just that I avoid starting things. I procrastinate. Once I do get started I often work long hours, obsessively until I’m done.
