For years I've needed to lose weight, I'm right on the cusp of having to switch from metformin to actually shooting insulin and I'm on ozempic as a last ditch this year

Even after I've eaten my meal prep and done my exercise and been a good boy for the day, once it's night I'll go out and get everything i want. i can intellectually know it's bad for me and feel guilty but I'll go and get like
>in n out animal fries
>Panda Express Orange Chicken
>oreo shake from Baskin Robbins
(just an example, the point is it's like 3 or 4 items from different take outs every night)

Now I have to get my first colonoscopy and they told me: no more food for the 5 days before, just water and juice and broth... and you know what? I've done it flawlessly even though I'm famished as hell

Basically my question is why come when one doctor says I can't eat stuff for medical reasons i can just obey. but when it's multiple doctors over 10 years, my heart getting worse, my vision getting worse, i can feel gout pain in my toes that makes it take me an hour to get to sleep, i can't?

how do i make the discipline i have for the days before the colonoscopy, be just the normal way i deal with life? does that make sense?

>it's like 3 or 4 items from different take outs every night
holy fuck that's disgusting

you need to set yourself reasonable boundaries
>no food for 5 days
is possible
>no junk food forever
is impossible, so you just ignore it
make yourself a rule that you CAN do
like only 1 take-out per day (preferably lunch, gorging before bed is terrible for you)

you've proven you can fast (nice job btw), look into intermittent fasting

smoke cigs, drink coffee or energy drinks, do drugs, stay busy and occupied fuck it bro

You are experiencing persuasion through authority.
You can program your brain
I got this from "Influence" - Robert Cialdini
"Reframe Your Brain" - Scott Adams

5 days before colonoscopy gotta be a meme. You just need to do cleansing the day before and then not eat until procedure.

Well you have already done it now- congratulations. Maybe take it week by week or day by day. Have a buddy you can ring up if you find yourself faltering.
