Yeah, I am starting to realize that maybe there's something physiological going on. I've noticed that I'm losing more hair than usual recently, so maybe there's something hormonal going on?

But there are times I recognize that I'm exerting a lot more willpower, for a lot fewer results, when I'm feeling bad.Hmm, that's interesting. I used to beat up on myself a lot about willpower too, but somewhere along the way that fell away. I still often feel like I'm not doing "enough" (of what "enough" might be). It's been hard to get past the pull yourself up by the bootstraps mentality that my family imparted on me.
