Commitment Versus Intrest

This lept out at me from the page, I saved it years ago. I often get distracted, sidetracked, or overwhelmed in my life especially when life throws me a curve ball. I gove up far too easily. When I was younger I was a warrior and nothing got in my way. But then, I felt I oculd do anything. Now I am older and wiser. I can do most things well with hard work.

Here's a summary of the differences between people who are interested in losing weight compared to those who are committed to losing weight.

People who are interested in losing weight:

1. Stick with it until something better comes along.
2. Take action only if they "feel like" doing it.
3. Need to see results in order to stay motivated.
4. Blame people or circumstances for their struggles.
5. Easily give up when they face challenges.

People who are committed to losing weight:

1. Stick with their plans no matter what.
2. Take action whether they feel like doing it or not.
3. Assume that if they stay motivated, results will follow.
4, Take responsibility for their actions.
5. Keep going in spite of challenges or setbacks.
