We've all done it -- promised ourselves this time it was gonna be different, that this time we were going to stick with it through to the end, NO MATTER WHAT. And then later, maybe even just a few days later, our resolve dissolved and we forgot all about that powerful conviction we had and started making excuses and finding reasons to go back to our old ways before we ever even really got started.

So enough of that, right? Writing down your plan can help, although if writing out a contract for yourself doesn't work what about writing a "Dear John" letter to your bad habits? Read this example, and write one in your own words. Then every time you feel weak just read it over and you'll feel refreshed and re-motivated!
