I have several unhealthy habits that I want to address- that I've tried to address a hundred times over. How many times can you hit the reset button? How many times can you get back up after falling down? I struggle with food addiction, binge eating disorder, and sugar addiction. I struggle with watching too much TV and procrastinating with everything in my life. I can't get on a good normal sleep schedule. I can't get myself waking up early in the morning like I want to. I can't get myself eating healthy-cutting out sugar and simple carbohydrates and eating more vegetables. I can't get myself to consistently exercise. I set these great goals for myself when I have a glimmer of motivation but my motivation often comes at times when I wouldn't really take action toward anything like when I'm laying in bed trying to fall asleep.

My question to you all is how do you stay more consistently motivated? What ways have you successfully defeated unhealthy habits and created healthy ones in their place? Thank you in advance for your feedback!

Hello lizable: I don't really have any useful suggestions for you. I'm an older person now. And I no longer concern myself with healthy habits, motivation, etc. (It's one of the few benefits of being old from my perspective.) But I noticed no one had replied to your post. So I thought I would.

The two things that come to my mind, regarding your post, are first that it's difficult enough to succeed at changing one habit, let alone multiple habits. So I think it would probably be important to just pick one to work on at a time. The other thing that occurs to me is that it's really difficult to make substantive changes alone. One needs others around them who are working on achieving similar goals. (I think that's probably one of the reasons weight-loss programs can be helpful.)

So, if I were going to suggest anything, I would say pick out one area of your life to work on first & then try to find some other people to surround yourself with who are working on achieving similar goals.

You can get up as many times as you need to.
Skeezyks has a point on trying one at a time, as opposed to all at once.
