Missing all motivation

ace175

Ok sooooo I feel like I've lost all motivation! Well I don't feel like it, I know...and it's been like this for months. When I started in Jan 2011 at 220, I got down to 180 by that June/July, and I was felt great. Then I moved in w/ my bf and it pretty much went all down hill from there. I was flopping around 185 then my grandpa died in Nov and I started eating more at I was at like 190.
As of right now I feel like I'm like 195 maybe a little more, but I'm afraid of looking at the scale! Plus I look horrible in all of my clothes I've been trying to get back on track, and I've gotten to the gym a few times this week, but I ruin it with my eating. I feel like crap! I plan my days with good food and at my goal the night before, like how I used to, but by the afternoon I just can't stick to it. Any help or kind words? I feel like I've been such a failure and I just want to get back to how I was!

Nobody can do anything for your body but you. What I tell myself when I am feeling down is the regret from not accomplishing my goals will hurt more than the temporary discomfort it takes to get there.

The first step is to realize that you need to make a change. You're heading in the right direction.

I know what you mean about living with your man, it makes things difficult but what helps me is my stubbornness and my drive to be healthier for the both of us.

If you need a friend feel free to add me. I am on religiously and comment on as much as I can. If you have any questions just ask, I am no expert but I do a lot of research and am trying to lose the weight in the healthiest way possible.

Good luck!

I can't say I have any lack of motivation due to my gf because she's been doing this with me for awhile now. What helps me is all the friends that I've made on this site that keep me encouraged and moving forward.

Also, don't focus on the scale so much. Look for the small changes or NSV's. One of my NSV's ( Non Scale Victory) is the fact that I'm diabetic and when they diagnosed me my blood sugar was 545. I've managed to lose weight and keep it off and I am not longer having to take medication for my diabetes or high blood pressure. I've actually been off of it for almost a year and a half now. Another is feeling the changes in my clothes. I've lost almost 12 pant sizes since starting my journey. I still have a ways to go but I'm making progress.

I would definetely seek out friends for motivation though. Feel free to add me. I am on daily and do my absolute best to comment and motivate.
