When I think about commitment and weight loss, I have a small panic attack.  I commit to showing up at work every day at 7:15, and it sucks sometimes, but I do it.  I commit to driving 40 minutes after work to three hour grad school classes.  Again, this sucks, but I do it.  I do these things because I know that money, security and a graduate degree are things that I need/want.  Yet when I thing of commitment and weight loss, something that I want VERY badly, I FREAK out!!!  I work in an applied behavioral science field - I am in charge of analyzing the behavior/motivation of kids every day, yet I can’t figure out this piece of my own behavior!! 

One thing that I do know about my students behavior - when they are anxious or overwhelmed with a fear of failure, they  are paralyzed and cannot make progress.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can stop myself from being my own worst enemy?
