`Is there a difference between magical Will and old-fashioned, stick-to-your-diet willpower? In my experience the latter is closely related to things such as motivation, self-talk and various behavioral techniques (such as rewarding yourself for making progress). Or perhaps motivation, self-talk, etc., are just crutches for a weak will? I am unclear what the former kind of Will is however. Can anyone suggest some examples that would distinguish the two?`
`Also, I am having trouble using whatever willpower I have consistently. As I round out my second month on the very first part of step 1 I find that I am having trouble with my persistence (frankly the exercises are boring the heck out of me). I fall off the practice wagon, I get back on, I fall off again (well you get the picture). I suppose the simplest advice that might be offered to someone such as myself is to get back on the wagon one more time than I fall off. :-) Nevertheless, I mustn't be the only student in history who has had trouble sticking to the practice routine. Does anyone have any suggestions for this repentant sinner? ;-)`

    Sincerely, /RM/
