I started using the Oil Cleansing Method (OCM) four days ago. Here are some links to catch you up:

Introduction.
I am not someone who is generally very self-motivated.
It takes quite a bit to get me working on anything: craft projects, homework, reading, writing (hah!). Generally, if it's going to take me more than five minutes to do something, it feels like an insurmountable task. If it's going to take moving to a different room to do something, it feels like an insurmountable task. If I forget something in the car and going outside involves putting anything more than a sweatshirt and slippers on, you'd better hope that it wasn't massively important or going to freeze overnight, because chances are I'm not going to retrieve it.
A huge issue becomes quickly apparent when you look at my health. If I'm not in the kitchen (and who hangs out in their kitchen?), I'll forget to eat. If I make it to bed and forget to brush my teeth, that's not happening. Getting out of bed in the morning? The longer I stay in bed, the harder it is to get out. Going to bed at night? After a day of doing nothing, I get depressed at the thought of going to bed with nothing to show for my efforts. Needless to say, I am not a very healthy individual. I don't get enough food or water, yoga and ballet don't happen, and I haven't had a proper sleep schedule since I was 10 or so.
You may be wondering how I ever get anything done, because I do occasionally rouse myself to accomplishment, and here's how: not only do I have a hard time starting anything, but once I'm doing something, whether it's crocheting, watching a tv series, yoga, reading, anything without a set length, I have an equally difficult time stopping what I'm doing.

This can all be boiled down to two major traits:
Obsessiveness
and
Laziness
So what was enough to get me roused enough to start changing my easy, comfortable, worthless life habits?
$3,500
of dental work. Also, perpetual illnesses that could be circumvented by better overall health and well-being over the last couple of years, and the following illuminating blog posts and websites.
