Have you ever had that occasion where you find that after you've measured out your cereal and you know there's not enough left for another meal? I do (yes, I weigh my cereal), and instead of putting it back and mixing it with the next days cereal, I go ahead and pour the rest in my bowl and proceed to eat it! It's not so bad when it's just a little bit left, but if the amount is half a days amount or more I should leave it. I don't though, because I don't like to mix cereals. Seems a little strange, but it's what I do. I have to account for the extra cereal I eat, but that doesn't keep me from doing it. It evens works that way with other foods. Just a little bit left. Snarf! I need to see the larger amount left as significant, which I don't now. Something to work on I guess.
It may seem strange, but the same thing happens with TV. I have to watch the last few minutes of a TV show, including the credits, or the shows aren't complete. I can leave the TV when the last commercials start, but only then. Something to do with my ADD and focus I guess. When I'm doing uninteresting stuff, I can quit at the drop of a cobweb, but when I'm focused on something, my do not disturb sign is out and woe to him or her who violates my focus. Sometimes if the disruption goes on long enough so I lose the drift of the show, I just quit watching. That missing part is so essential to the whole experience that I no longer consider the experience worthwhile. I'm getting better at diverting my attention and still following the show, but I have a lot to work on.
For those of you who have been following my sketchy story of going on the FAST diet, here is the latest. First of all, I have lost 9 lbs so far on it. I weigh myself tomorrow, so I'll know how this week has gone. I'm expecting another loss, but I'll see. I'll try to remember to post my results sometime tomorrow.
Does anyone know of a good ADD lifestyle coach? I'm really beginning to believe I have to have one to make changes, so your advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
