Excuses, excuses... Right there - that's my problem. EXCUSES. And this is the reason I've chosen this program - to help me deal with that Other Tracey inside my head. The one that trots out all these EXCUSES.
Three types. Identify them. Then give yourself the solutions:
INTERNAL EXCUSES:
I'm too tired. I hate getting up early. I don't want to ride by myself. Not fair that others can eat what they want and I can't. Eating this will make me feel better. I'm soooo hungry after that ride, I need an energy boost....
SOLUTIONS
Not that hard really: "Suck it up princess." "Life wasn't meant to be Easy, and it sure isn't fair." "Just do it." And - "no it won't make you feel better - you hate yourself for how much weight you put on - that's a WORSE feeling than foregoing a bit of cake."

EXTERNAL EXCUSES Within My Control
The usual - it's too hot, it's too cold/windy/raining... The time/busy thing. Can't justify spending more money going to a gym. Tired. Etc etc.
Solutions
Yeah, yeah, get over it princess. You live on the mid-north coast for heaven's sakes - it doesn't get that cold!
There are other options to gym.

EXTERNAL EXCUSES Outside My Control
Injury, crises....
