Desperate need to help

susy99

Hi all,

I used to be more determined about losing weight. I used to workout more often and eat better.
I am lacking of motivation. It is like I want to lose weight so bad, but my body doesnt want to, or my brain, I am not sure?
How can I push myself to do it. I feel day by day passes and I am wasting my time being unhealthy and overweight.

I need to lose 15kg.

Thanks!

The only way to lose weight is to eat less. There's no better or worse about that.

Eat what you like. Put your stats into MFP, set it to maintenance for your current weight and height, and track what you're eating so you get an idea of your daily calorie intake. When you're ready to fit into smaller clothes, set your MFP profile so that you're losing .5 lbs a week and try meet the calorie goal suggested by MFP. Your accuracy may need to be checked later on, if you're stalling for more than 6-8 weeks.

it's not your body - it's all in your head, really. When your desire to lose the weight becomes greater than all the reasons, rationalizations, and excuses up there, you'll find you don't lack motivation at all. Now... What the reasons, rationalizations, and excuses are - or WHY they are - I have no idea. And you might not either! It might be worth investing in some sessions with a counselor to try to figure that out so that you are able to get past those and move forward.

Its a head game. Heart also.
If you can get your head and heart back in the game, you will have everything you want.

Decide that it's worth it your time and be willing to do hard work -- both exercising and preparing buying cooking good meals.

The beginning is the hardest and you need to push trough it being mentally tough then when you start improving you can motive yourself with the results and keep the goal in mind.

You only live once might look as great as you can while you're on planet earth, the effort is worth it - accomplishing your goals.

Realize it's your mind and you form your habits, decide your thoughts and create your personality. Give yourself both the blame and credit when you do something right or wrong, but don't beat yourself mentally up over it, realize it's a process - changing your lifestyle for the better, not perfect but better.

Start right away as soon as you read this, small changes add up, don't wait for some Monday to do everything perfect, small steps add up to a long distance.

With working out the first 3 weeks go light as it's torture for your body till it gets used to it again, get friends to help you talk to people at the gym, watch online fitness models, ask yourself WHY you want to achieve this and what it will do for you and if you are happier working at your goals or eating bad food browsing the computer mindlessly and having a bad conscience dreaming of who you want to be instead of joining the journey to a better you.

Success are small steps that add up !

It's YOU , you decide, do.

And it's worth it, and get's easier with time.
