Hi Matthew! Welcome to LessWrong. I think that your goals are admirable and I’m glad that your’e sharing your story with us. However, I think a post such as this belongs in the Discussion section, rather than the front page.
I’m willing to take the karma hit, but if you think it would fit better in discussion feel free.
Everyone else on LW, please continue to vote on this post as if it was in Top level not discussion if you could as a favor to me.
The focus of this post is not “my story”. I find that Akrasic reasoning can be very hard to overcome in certain mindsets, and reading about other real people surpassing those mindsets can provide unique strength in those situations. I meant this to be a top level series of around 3 posts and i really didn’t expect a condescending response. I suppose i needed to send it to someone to edit for grammar and spelling but that seems like something fixed through draft form anyway like in this popular top level post.

Moved. (This will also save Matthew some of the Karma hit.)
