Don't wait around for motivation... Just do it! That's my motto.
Motivation isn't a blinding flash of light that fixes everything. You'll always have some negative thoughts that need challenging. Don't believe everything you think!
Just thought I'd share some of the rationale behind my 70 lb weight loss in the past 11 months.
Also, don't worry about eating "clean" or sticking to any resolutions or diet plans.
Just worry about eating under your calorie limit.
You can make room for what you desire the most with a little planning. This doesn't all have to be too complicated.
The best help I got was from these forums, and the Helpful Posts:

Read, learn, lose, and win!
Best wishes!

So true! Motivation is highly over rated around here, and usually the first thing to fly out the window when the rubber hits the road in my experience.
Congrats on your HUGE loss! Bravo! xoxo0 -

Thanks! xoo
Yep. I see too many expectations here on other people for motivation, or on some fleeting, ephemeral thing.
You don't need motivation. You just do the thing.
Lack of motivation is just another excuse.
Don't allow yourself to make excuses!0
