Okay, I'm starting over today. I am reading a couple of books on procrastination and time management. Because I realize that I am sabotaging myself with my current habits. By ignoring my work in favor of tv or reading I do stupid shit like miss my midterm. Or get 3 weeks behind in my online classes.

One of the books talks about controllable events. We control our lives by controlling our time. We control our time by controlling our actions. This works in terms of time management, but I also realized this philosophy could help me with my detox and my weight goal. (I want to be 120 by the time BF gets back and 118 the week after.)

People are defined by their actions. A Republican is a republican by virtue of his vote not just his ideals. I am a vegetarian rather than just an animal lover because I refrain from eating meat. Now... what does this have to do with my detox? I realized I fell off the wagon the first two days because I was giving the diet control. I couldn't have sugar. I couldn't have cream. I couldn't have coffee. I couldn't have bread. Which made me want those things all the more - which is why I had diet soda, cookies, chocolate, coffee yesterday.

Today has been relatively "easy" because it's not the Diet controlling me, telling me what I can and can't have. I am choosing to eat a certain way today. I will choose to eat this way tomorrow (and hopefully for the next 8 days). I am choosing to meet my goals.
