My enthusiasms are sometimes short lived. I think what I liked about it was a specific commit time (18 weeks), a definite start picture and a finish picture. I may still do that. My problem is that although I've made a lot of progress over the months, I can't see it. I go back and look at old journals, and it seems to me like I spin my wheels a lot.

I liked a lot of things that the book said, I think that they can be applied to any diet however, to any plan of action to lose weight, not just to his.

I guess trying to do my workout his way was a bit of an eye opener. It was drastically more difficult, and I just don't know if I can do it. I don't want to commit to it and fail. At this point I don't dare fail at anything more, I'm too ready to give up as it is. So I may wait and try and build up my stamina before committing to that challenge.

I don't know. I'm still looking for something that will encourage me. I feel like such a failure right now that I just can't seem to pick myself back up and dust myself off. I know that part of my problem is that I try too hard, wind up wearing myself out and giving up, then hating myself for not having more strength of character to keep on keeping on.

I'm making progress. This I know, but I am so hard on myself that I seldom recognize or give myself credit for the progress I have made. Maybe that is why BFL appealed to me. It would force me to see the progress I have made. Before and after pictures tend to do that to you.

I may still do the program. What I need is more energy, and right now I just don't have it. This particular TOM is taking a lot of my stamina with it. I am waiting for that burst of energy and enthusiasm I tend to have when it is over with. It hasn't come yet. When it does it tends to last about a half a month and then I am back where I was, low energy, low endurance and low willpower.

I guess these cycles are part of what is making me hesitate to take on something as strenuous as BFL. If I could count on having a constant energy level I would do it in a minute.
