Thank you, finally someone admits it. If everyone tracked the time they spent on their phones/social media, they'd quickly see how they're not much different than OP.

Actually, she should probably start again today - a lot of the time people put off becoming healthy because 'It's too late now, I'll just have to do it tomorrow' or 'I already ate an unhealthy meal, might as well have some dessert, doesn't matter now' and do the exact same thing the next day. Even if it's already dark outside there is a lot of exercises you can do at home without needing expensive machines.

I think this article would be greatly debated. That's basically saying they key to success is procrastination because it builds anticipation. Doesn't really work in my opinion. The longer you hold off on something, the more excuses you make to hold off on it longer. OP, sometimes it helps if you get help, most people can not get motivated enough on their own to get healthy on their own. I had 3 weeks holiday last fall and got myself a personal trainer. I saw him 12 times in that 3 week period and then twice a week once I went back to work. Yes it cost me money, but it was worth it. By having someone to be accountable to, other than myself, I was able to succeed. I didn't reach my weight goal, but only because I managed to reach another goal that I had been trying for for 7 years prior. Your goals themselves may not be enough motivation. It's okay to admit if you need help.

That is assuming the FML was posted on the same day. I was under the impression that the OP had wasted the entire day putting off exercising. Under that assumption the OP could have written this at night before heading to bed. So me saying start again the next day, like when they get up.

I would just like to say, procrastination and waiting are two different things.

Procrastination is putting something off till later, waiting, is planning to do something later. What's the difference?

maybe she fell asleep while on the coach. . . if you know what I mean ;)
