A Sound Idea or Procrastination?

Here is what my mind has been doing to me lately...what you're about to read are the inner thoughts of yours truly...

"You know, before you tackle really trying to get an agent, you really should lose those last 10lbs and drop those last 2 dress sizes.  That way you are a way more marketable product.  Plus, that will give me more time to really work on my acting in front of the camera. And besides, I have so much more work to do in my voice class. So, yeah, okay, I will give it 2 more months...no 3...and then I will be in much better shape.  Okay, but to get in better shape, you really have to focus on that...stop snacking so often...I really gotta hit that cardio harder! Should I just start having salads for dinner? Go to bed earlier for goodness sake! Okay, so get into better shape...work on my acting stuff...then get headshots in my new better, badder self and then ...the agents will be more likely to wanna see me.  If they don't think I'm too old by then.  Am I just going to make this harder on me by waiting even longer? I'm already older than a lot of the other women out there auditioning. But, hey, isn't it better to take my time and do this properly? Better to take the time to prepare myself for what I want to come then to stick my neck out too soon and fall flat on my face...yeah, 2 or 3 more months of real, driven, focus! And then...go time!"

So, I ask you...sound, rational idea? Or just another form of procrastination?  Now, you might think I'm being sarcastic...like the answer is obvious.  And though, I believe, I know where most of you will fall on this, I am honestly asking. This is where I am at right now and it does seem to make some sense to me.  What do you think?
