Motivation around fitness, nutrition or both?

You really didn't give us much to go on to help.

A common mistake is trying to do too much too quickly. I think some of us rebel against radical changes. Maybe if you try starting small and accept that whatever you are trying to do will take time it will help keep you from needing a lot of motivation.

Motivation is temporary, unfortunately. Everyone gets to a certain point where you just have to be determined and dedicated and try your best, without the motivation.

I can say that for me, I have started and stopped millions of times over the last 10 years, and one day, it just worked and I stuck to it. It's been 8 weeks, which is by far the longest I have gone in years. I think you just keep trying, and try to create a habit around eating and logging your food and add in some exercise when you can.

I also agree with not doing too much, too quickly. Change one habit at a time, lower your calories just a little, and get used to tracking first. Then you can start making other changes if and when you need to.

motivation comes from within.
