Lifting weights doesn't turn you into a body builder
Muscles are difficult as hell to grow
A food scale and logging is the key to losing fat/weight
Foam rolling is life. LOL

Make sure your goals are attainable AND maintainable. Lots of people don't do well cutting out an entire food group or constricting themselves too much. Make sure you pick a plan you can stick with forever.

Just doing it even if I dont feel like it. I will be glad I did when all is said and done. Another thing is when I crave something unhealthy I stop and think, is this nutritious in any way? Is it going to fuel my body in any way?

The bolded statement above is EXTREMELY important. You don't have to be motivated 24/7 to do the right thing when it comes to this lifestyle change. Yeah, you may want to eat the whole pint of ice cream, but have just one serving regardless.

I've learned to look at the nutritional value for how it's feeding my body. I've also learned to do workouts that leave room to get harder. Workouts I won't be able to complete if I eat crappy all day.
