Motivation Story: A change over night...

Every now and then it happens that someone falls down in a negative, destructive cycle. It may last for an hour, days or even a whole year.
Eventually they hit the turning point where they start question it and decide that a change is necessary in order to leave this destructive pattern. A change over night...
The next day, a plan to break all the habits is made and executed. Finally becoming motivated for the better! Yet, it is like walking on a thin thread, but why?
Maybe it's the mood playing tricks, an unexpected event showing up - the result is that obstacles prevents one to proceed and succeed. Back to square one. The cycle will not let go of you.
Do you recognise yourself? The story above describes a chapter of my life. In order to finally move on I had to approach differently.
Rather than change for the better a night; I decided to make one important change a month. Replace each bad habit with a better one.
Today I have successfully started to workout regularly, track every set & reps I do as well as count my calorie intake.
My next goal is to drink 2 litres of water everyday!
Keep up the good work all!

I've been in that same boat.... Mine was always a pity party... Poor me...yada yada yada
I'm slowly moving in the right direction, getting my head on straight and moving forward, fully aware there will be set backs but remembering not to have a pity party but to smack that inner child and tell her to quit being such a baby!0
