"I'm a pretty secure person, but a major character flaw I've recently recognized in myself is that I have trouble completing things. I'll be all gung-ho about something for the first stages, then lose interest or move on to something else without following through."
So true. I also found a book last night that I had started reading a few months back about wine. The book is dog-eared around 1/3rd of the way through. I'd say that's a pretty typical example of the point where I give up on things. SO - if that is what is happening to me now, I have to FIGHT THROUGH IT! Can't slack off. Must complete my goals. (Btw I'm only about 1/6th of the way through marathon training so I'd better quit whining).
This blog has really helped keep me motivated so far. Definitely going to stick with this as well.
Trichotillomania update: (read this post to see what this is all about for me) Still not pulling! I am extra proud of myself this time around because I haven't used hats or tape on my fingers or anything-- just pure will power. I hope anyone reading this who has the same problem isn't discouraged if they haven't gotten to the point I have yet... I am finding that as I am getting older, more confident, and less stressed out in general that I am having an easier time controlling it.
Here's a picture I took on the Oregon coast of an 8-legged dog in front of the lighthouse from The Ring:
