To wake up and eat a meal on January 1st.
It's all about lowering expectations - and you'll never be a failure or be disappointed!
- Quit my current job, become an entrepreneur...
- Reconcilie with muy dad
Ex : Say you wanna lose 30-40 pounds so that, il fou only aachieve half ot it, you've still lost 15-20 pounds. That's something...

Set your expectations quite high so that, if you only achieve half ot it, that's still something.

Goals are good, behaviors are better.
Like, fuck the pounds goals. Start lifting two times a week and run three times. That is not an abstract -- like an outcome six months into the future, which only invites procrastination and, later, post-rationalization -- but a tangible and effective goal here and now. Six months from now, you can always bitch about how "It was a lot to do at work; I had a cold; I had to prioritize."
No. Run 3 miles tonight. Either you do, or you do not.

My problem is not so much a lack of willpower or dedication to making resolutions as I have found for a long while now I suffer from just not having enough hours in the day. Work has more or less taken over. I'm more financially stable than at any other point in my life, not that it's really saying much, but it's come at a cost as it's hard to fit anything else into most days. I don't really make resolutions anymore, because I already know I won't have the means to properly go after them.
Another problem is that while I was once a weightlifting and working out fanatic, I'm getting to the age where my body and all round health just can't handle it anymore. I can take weeks to recover from stuff that I literally got past in a day say 15 years ago, and I constantly hurt or feel paint some where pretty much all the time now. Having a bunch of previously shitty jobs has also brutalized my hands over the years, and by the time I got out the damage was done. That's not even taking into account other unrelated health problems that have developed. Getting older has been a pretty gut wrenching experience in many ways.
