I can't seem to keep the motivation to make the changes in my life that I want to! I am a soda addict for one. However, no matter how determined I am to kick the habit, I find myself sneaking them in so much I'm back where I started! Or, the fact that I can't get back in the habit of going to church. There are always things coming up that I let get in the way! So, how do you keep the motivation to change alive and strong? Let's hear your sucess stories!

I never formed a habit in my life! Am too much of a control freak... don suck thumbs, chew nails or things like that! I also happen to be a creature of change!

I know what you about going to church. My husband and I have been trying to get started going back on wed. nights its been so hard!! We just force each other and we know it will get easier over time. There just always seems to be other things i want to get done. I use to have a habit of sucking my thumb when I was a kid. I didn't stop till right before I turned 15. It was crazy. After the sixth grade I only did it when I got tired and when i went to bed but still I was ashamed and one day i just made up my mind and so I didn't do it anymore. Most things u just have to break cold turkey or else you will just pull yourself right back in!

I'm not going to tell you about my worst habits because Yahoo wouldn't allow it. I did manage to quit smoking using aerobics teachers, sexual fantasies, and Nicoret gum. The fantasies kept the resolve fresh and it was no problem. I smoked two cartons a week. Then I had dreams for about three years that I had smoked a cigarette and I would wake up hating myself even though it was just a dream.
PS Mira is a habitual liar.

Well, you cant think, you just have to do! I quit smoking this way...and I did quit drinking pop for a while. I am now drinking diet, but it is still WAY better than regular pop. For the church,there is usually mass/service every day of the week. Go when you can, you dont necessarily have to go on Sunday.
