I think a common aversion in the journey of weight loss is to planning ahead. I'm talking about both diet and exercise. Depending on the person, it can be boring, like planning out meals, cooking a batch of meals on certain days of the week so you always have meals ready to go (which counteracts against the "well I have nothing at home, so let me pick something up real quick"), etc. Or tracking calories which probably isn't "fun" for the majority of people
Or there's the aspect of planning where planning means failure is very well-defined. If I say I'm going to work out 4 days a week, any time I don't do that, that's a week failed (of course there's nuance that goes into that, like acknowledging small steps in the right direction, setting reasonable goals, etc).
In general, eating the "right" thing and doing the (at times boring) exercise isn't the thing I want to do in the moment. I'm kind of rambling here but I'm just giving my thoughts on the concept of planning/scheduling things to hit the character count lol
I want to hear other people's thoughts on planning ahead when it comes to exercise and/or healthy eating. How important is it to you? Can you do things intuitively, or do you have to tell your future self what they need to do? If you had a friend who has talked about wanting to lose weight/get healthier, but they are avoidant of planning ahead or laying out on a calendar what days they'll exercise (for example), what would your advice be to them?
