My mindset so far has changed and is in need in continual  change.  Can I keep this up on a daily basis?  Should I go to a website and enter my information?  So far, this is the best way I can come up with both a diet and an exercise plan.  Right now, my mind has been cleansed of all of the clutter. However, I have yet to overcome my fears.  I have been told that I am good at planning.  If I am so good at making plans, then why do I have difficulty following them?  I am at a high amount of weight for my height.  I am also considered super morbidly obese.  I realize that I can do some work myself.  I can purchase healthier foods however, but even healthier foods can be a trigger. 

 How many calories should I consume in order to lose weight, which is my goal?  I need help.  This is quite a good plan I admit.  I also realize that I have placed limits on what I eat and drink but I have also placed limits on what I need to do in terms of weight loss.  While weight loss is something I know what I need to do, I am doing a good job of a failure to follow plans.  I believe that stress about losing weight could be seen as a sabotage.  I don't think that I have sabotaged myself, yet how I have allowed myself to be stressed out about this and all issues,  Now I have to do what I have to do myself.  The reason being is that I have made no progress in the last few years.  I would like to know what to do and where I need to go as far as direction.  I believe that the stress and the thoughts about my weight have probably made things worse than they should be.  I have a hard time doing what is simple and that I do has to change.  I get overwhelmed easily and that is something that I deal with and try to do.  No man or woman is an island.
