Procrastination Is Like M@sturbati0n:

Yesterday I displayed an amazing amount of restraint.  Not with my “diet”, but with my temper.  I did eat as planned yesterday, it was pretty decent, hit my macros and cal target, and I fasted and had about a six hour eating window, just as planned.  Didn't need any additional food and typical for me was not transfixed by any extraneous culinary indulgence.

No... no,  restraint needed on that front.

Yesterday I decided to peruse a diet forum a little more in depth, and started reading through the logging reports people post.  It's predominantly supportive, which is really kind of nice.  But I'm reading threw these posts and I really want to shoot my mouth off to everyone and tell them what I think they should be doing.  I think I know what they should do to get them results.  But alas, they have not asked me and it's really none of my business.  And unsolicited diet advice is rarely useful, and potentially harmful.  So I (for the most part) keep my mouth closed about stuff... I am really tempted to say a few more things, and search out people asking questions so I can tell them what to do.  I'd really like to find a group of people I could run "experiments" on. I am a scientist, and I am running an experiment on myself at the moment, and anytime in the past I’ve done such a thing with other people it has gotten them results, but I’d like more data...  and I digress.

The true restraint has come from not belittling people for the comments "There's always tomorrow".  This comment is in the diet community like flies on cow pie.  It's like they are all using the internet as a confessional, and the penance is always "TOMORROW".  You know what?  You screwed up... you didn't follow your plan, and no you can't make it up... you can't run that piece of apple pie, Cadbury egg and frappuccino off tomorrow.  Running tomorrow (if you even do it) to burn off calories you have eaten today is a recipe for disaster... and failure.  The day has been lost; you can't "make it up tomorrow".  You can however start over, and try to have more restraint and stick to your plan. It's not easy... That's why there are so many wolfs predating on plump sheep for weight loss magic that everyone should know doesn't work (but everyone want the easy way out).  Stop making excuses for yourself and stop trying to make it up tomorrow.  Why put off till tomorrow what you can do today.  Don’t beat yourself up about it (okay maybe just a little), but move on and stick to your plan NOW, not TOMORROW. 

Procrastination is like m@sturbati0n... your F#(k!ng yourself...
