Goals and why they suck (They really don't)

I like meditating on my life choices. It's good to do that. You have to see how you are doing so far, if you are living up to the standards that you have chosen to follow. I have a lot to work on, I know it. It's a work in progress but I will get the help I need.

I did realize one thing, I can accomplish a lot of things. But I tend to fall back after I accomplish them. I set myself with goals that at first seem impossible and then I do them and that's that. Even if I try to do it again, I can't do it but I'm content with having done it once. In theory, this should be ok but when it comes to health and fitness, it's an ongoing battle. I have been able to lose weight by exercising and also by dieting. But once I've done it once, it's hard to do it again. It's a real struggle. My brain knows what to do but I just don't act on it. I am excellent with giving health advice, my mother has taught me well, but acting on it, ughhh. I know what works and I just can't seem to do it again. Is it a pride thing? Is it seriously a sense of accomplishment that I've done it once and don't need to do it again? Do I constantly need to be challenged? I don't know. I need to get to the bottom of this... as I eat a chocolate croissant. ugh.
