Anyone else not self disciplined, like myself?
How much does depression play a key role in this?
Give me your thoughts

P.S. NO criticism from those who are A+ students or the like...<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

Funny you should bring that up...

Just yesterday i was telling my husband that i need more time in a day for my treatments and that we needed to work something out (ex. he picks up our daughter after work instead of me)...

Honestly...there are days when i just don't take a treatment because its 10 o'clock at night or i have to do something for the next day.

So i can say i am a C possibly a D...

Note...my husband nags me too when i don't take my meds and he does my chest PT when i don't want to use the Vest. So he isn't the problem...the thing is that i start doing something and when i realize it's ten o'clock.

So our conclusion was maybe working something out with my boss...like me coming in at 10 am in the morning for me to sneak my morning treatment in and leaving work later....but still getting the chance to do the night ones...

I wish i could be A++++++....but it's really hard.

Well, I was a B for years because I exercised daily and had decent PFTS and didn't abuse my body, etc.

Then I became an F, doing no treatments, no exercise and all kinds of bad things to my body

I am currently back to a C...doing daily treatments, taking care of myself...but I am not where I should be - it is so easy to get too busy to do the stuff we need to do. Honeslty, when I don't want to do a treatment, I imagine my kids at my funeral. Morbid, but it helps get me motivated.

Hi Guys...

I agree its so hard to do all of our treatments in a day. I often forget and then realize at 10 or so like you guys and by then you just wanna go to sleep. I pretty much take all of my pills, but its nebs and exercise that are harder. I would probably say that I was D a few months ago, but when I was in the hospt just a few weeks ago, it jumpstarted something. I am still not up to an A, I would probably say a C. I regret this, I wish that I could be better. Its not that I dont wanna do good and do everything I need to, its just really hard to remember and find the time.

I like what you say Wonderlost...<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>Honeslty, when I don't want to do a treatment, I imagine my kids at my funeral. Morbid, but it helps get me motivated. </end quote></div>

I would love to have kids some day, so I try to use that as my motivation. I need to keep myself healthy so that I can someday do that.

Wanderlost,

it's not morbid to use the idea of your funeral as your incentive. I imagine my baby without me and that just hurts...because she is soo close too me. (what kid isn't close to their mom?)

My grandmother passed away 2 weeks ago and my daughter overheard a conversation i was having with one of my aunts and it hurt soo much when she comes in and tells me, "Mom, i don't want you to die".

One, I should have watched where she was at for her to not over hear an adults conversation. But it hit me...that by me not doing my treatments regularly or even missing them will hurt my daughter more than me at some point.
