I am growing increasingly frustrated with myself and my willpower. I am been dying to lose weight for months now and really focused on what I should be doing for the last month but I still haven't found a way to make myself stick to the plan. How do I drag my butt to the gym and pass up all the wonderful (but calorie loaded) foods that invade my space on a daily basis? I am a coffee addict. I have at least one iced mocha or iced latte a day and this really doesn't help because each drink has 300+ calories and God only knows how many grams of sugar. Not a super healthy way to start the day. I've even started eating a doughnut with my coffee in the mornings. Not. Good. At. All. I almost feel like I'm going in reverse. I think about losing weight, exercising, and eating healthy all day at work but when I have some free time to work out or go shopping for some healthy food choices, I get lazy and do what's easiest -- sleeping and ordering take out. Don't get me wrong. I am a busy girl. I work 40 hours a week (in addition to being on-call 10 days out of the month) and care for my great grandmother, along with caring for my own household, but that's no excuse. I lost about 20+ lbs. a few years ago and I loved working out and eating healthy. Then I gained all that weight back and I haven't found a way to motivate myself since. Any help, input, advice, etc. is greatly appreciated. I just want to be healthy again!!!
