I used to think that I didn't have any self-discipline. That the desire for whatever it was that I was craving was too strong that I couldn't get over the immediate gratification.
What I didn't realize was that by giving in to what it was that I wanted in the moment, so that I could be more comfortable mentally, I was giving up what I really wanted - which was to be more comfortable later physically.
See, every decision that we make will cause us to feel pain or discomfort now, or discomfort later.
It was a lesson that I learned when I realized why I procrastinated so much as a younger woman. Why was I doing that?
I was procrastinating because I was feeling discomfort about doing the thing that I was avoiding doing. As a result, the longer I procrastinated, the worse my discomfort became - until it was super uncomfortable.

If you’re a woman in midlife who wants better health without obsessing over weight, you’re in the right place. I’m Elizabeth Sherman, a life and health coach and host of the Total Health in Midlife Podcast.
After coaching hundreds of women, I know the real problem usually isn’t “not enough information” – it’s too much of it, and not knowing where to start. With close to 300 episodes, this show can feel that way too.
To make it easy, I created a free Listener’s Roadmap that helps you figure out which episodes are right for you right now. Tell me what you’re struggling with – low energy, emotional eating, stress, sleep, exercise, or all of the above – and I’ll point you to a curated path of episodes and resources to get you moving.
