Sticking With "It"- Whatever "It" May Be

I'm not good with sticking with things. I've never been on a diet longer than a few hours, I don't have any daily or weekly routines to speak of, and I've quit nearly every activity or group I've joined because I truly resent meetings and activities that take up my time - even when I like the activity or group. It seems I do things only long enough to understand them and be able to say "yes, I've done that" - then I let it go. Good thing I'm not a smoker, I've got a real lack of willpower. How very imperfect of me.

A few weeks ago, I decided I'd keep a notebook in my purse to reign in my spending and eating habits. I kept track of every purchase from 11/9 to 11/23. I also kept track of all my eating from 11/17 -11/22. Then prepping for Thanksgiving mysteriously got in the way and I forgot until now. This lack of stick-with-it-ness really makes it hard to go after that "perfect" life I want to live!!

While I didn't stick with it long enough to actually reign in my spending or eating, it gave me insight to what I was doing to my body and my wallet. It made me aware enough to fill up my time positively during the break: I exercised, ate pretty well and spent time with my family and friends. I won't beat myself up on it, but I guess I better pull out that notebook and try, try again.

If you've got any suggestions, put them here. I need all the help I can get on this one!!
