I am currently very overweight with a terrible diet, no exercise routine to speak of, sub par hygiene practices and am terrible about keeping my apartment clean too. For obvious reasons I’d like to change this. I am excellent about creating plans to do so. I make plans that in my eyes are extremely doable and realistic, like take a 15-30 min walk at the end of the day, or brush my teeth every night, cook at least 3 times a week, etc.
But then when it comes to actually following through with those plans I never even start. I go to work, come back extremely drained and go into my same old pattern of ordering fast food and playing videogames until bedtime. Any and all motivation I had to change goes out the window because of how tired I am.
How do I get past this hump? I’ve honestly been looking for new jobs because I feel this one has had such a profoundly negative impact on my life. But being in the psych field any job I find is going to be a lot to handle really.
