I’ve realized that an important part of adult life is having systems in place to deal with the big “inputs” of life. For example, two of the big items/concepts that we have to deal with are time and money. Long ago, I adopted a system for dealing with time (Google Calendar + Wunderlist for to-dos) and money (Dave Ramsey’s Baby Steps + envelope system + online bill-pay). Now that those systems are in place, I would never *dream* of being without a system--if I ever decided to abandon those specific ways, it would only be to replace them with another system. Also, the systems I’ve got in place are successful while still being sustainable [I would be comfortable using my current systems forever].
This is not my first successful attempt at weight loss, but this is the first one where I’ve started to view food/drink as one of these big “inputs.” And I’ve got a system (LoseIt! app) that is successful and sustainable forever. Now that I’ve been tracking so consistently for three months, I’m getting to the point where I can’t imagine being “system-less” with this big input of my life, just like I can’t imagine being “system-less” with money or time.
And I also believe that our level of contentment in life is very closely correlated with our relationships with these big inputs: time, money, and food/drink.
I hope this has been helpful! Framing these big inputs in this way has certainly helped me!
