Then I think that you arent setting your goals correctly.

A good set of goals should be 5 things:
- Specific
- Measurable
- Achievable
- Relevant
- Timebound

What that means is for something to really be a goal, you need to be able to measure it. And it needs time sensitivity.

So to say, "I will eat healthier" isnt a goal. Because it isnt specific...and it isnt measurable. Ive written before, if you switch from a cheeseburger and large fries and a coke to a cheeseburger, small fries and a coke, it is "eating healthier", right? But, my guess is that it wouldnt really qualify as meeting the goal.

Same goes for dealing with W. You need to figure out what you want, specifically. And then divide that up into achievable steps that can help you reach your goals. If your boundaries contradict your goals, then how are they even goals?!?
