Generally speaking, I have low will power. I mean, practically none. It's shameful to admit, I know. If I am involved in a really good book - forget it. I cannot pry it from my fingers. I stop doing the things I really should (like cleaning, laundry, real meals) and I am immersed until I finish it. I honestly don't enjoy reading like that, but I can't seem to stop myself! This applies to other areas of my life too - like webdesign or blogging... I get on a kick and I may stay up until 2 or 3 some nights. Genealogy research is the same way - for a week, no one sees or hears from me as I pore over old books and census records.
I know I should do better, and I do try for a little while. But then, I simply don't have the will power to improve my will power. It's a bit frustrating.
Will power...tell me about it! Today is August 1, and I am DETERMINED to begin losing weight. I bought that Power 90 program off of television, and I just finished my first session. It will require will power and good, old fashioned stubbornness to complete six sessions a week while living off of roughly 1200 calories a day. If you've seen the infomercials, though, or visited the Web site, the results are dramatic. Actually, after the first week or two, I'll be fine. It's all mental, cousin.

I'm the queen of sabatoging my own plans... lol... when I moved into the prophet's chambers upstairs at church... I deliberately didn't bring my television... because... as you know... that remote control is addicting... and I thought that without television I could actually complete some of my one thousand in-progress projects... but, noooooo... the church library just happens to be downstairs... and now I read, read, read... I just get distracted so easy... but... life's an adventure... and I never, ever get bored...
