melina thinks: Want to get stick to your goals? Don't have too many
I have observed the following connection in my own behavior; when I exercise regularly, I eat less junk food. Perhaps Melina's blog entry and the link therein help explain the phenomenon I experience. One self-discipline success leads easily to another. It really does work that way for me and I have often wondered why. It is as if I magically stop wanting M&Ms and Hershey kisses and chips when I am moving my body in a purposeful way.
My challenge is to move; because for the last-going-on-3-years, I have just been eating. But where are all my self-discipline chips being spent? On keeping quiet. The things that bother me most are the most unlikely to be heard.

Hi! I just found this post... not sure what happened to my reader, but oh well.
We've got a friend who calls what you've described "practicing my shut-up." I love that line. And boy does it ever use up willpower points!
