My motivation

This quote pretty much sums up my mentality:
Dr. Cox: The key to my exercise program is this one simple truth: I hate my body....Do you understand the second you look in the mirror and you're happy with what you see, baby, you just lost the battle.
I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be good for a lot of people, but for me - it works.
P.s. This isn't a "tell me I'm doing good" post - I'm ok, I'm not depressed or anything, just wondered if anyone else has the same thing going on?

Never had a problem with the image in the mirror - my motivation is all about being faster, fitter and better. Until I can keep up with the young whippersnappers on the hockey pitch, there is work to do.......this could take a while!!0

Haha - whippersnappers - you're not meant to use words like that at your age
It's all about body image for me - never quite been able to shake a negative one, but I just use that as my motivation to keep getting better...0 -

2. Love Scrubs.
Scrubs is awesome 50 -
I love Scrubs, they have it on netflix too!
That's my motivation for now but I hope that it doesn't stay that way when I get to my goal. I don't want to become complacent, but that way of thinking can be bad for some! Glad it's working for you though!0 -

I wish they had it on lovefilm...
To be honest I'd love to get to a point where I'm finally happy - I just don't know if my ultimate target is just not achievable...0
