I’m sitting here and I’m not hungry, but I want to eat. I’m so used to living from my urges that it feels foreign to deny myself food.

Didn’t I say that I wasn’t hungry?

So why is it that I want to eat?

I’m just greedy… No that can’t be it huh

I think it’s psychological. I’m programmed to ram food, especially unhealthy food in my mouth while I’m watching TV.

We’re supposed to eat when we’re hungry, you know the whole leptin, ghrelin thing.

Leptin the hunger hormone, and ghrelin the I’m full hormone.

They tend not to work properly on us overweight folks. That’s because of situations like this.

Instead of us taking authority over our minds and eating when we’re hungry, we choose to fall into the hypnotic snares of normalcy. That’s what happens when we don’t stand guard over our habits.

This is the sucky part of weight loss.

Control        Discipline       Awareness

We want that goal body, but we don’t want those habits that actually create that body.

Fyi: We can’t keep that goal body if we can’t develop and keep the habits of the lean and healthy.

That’s why I have failed so many times before. I was transforming backwards. I was placing more importance on the way that I wanted to look instead of the way that I should have wanted to live.

Discipline = Freedom
