Few simple ways to keep the motivation flowing:
Make goals. When's the last time you evaluated where you want to be at in a week, month, year? Sit down and chart it up. Heck, I find setting myself a set of weekly goals (tiny thing, really. Write 3 times, workout 4 times 30 mins, walk every day) and keeping track helps keep my mindset into the game. And at the end if I reach my goals I'll reward myself somehow. If I don't, then I add some "consequences" to do with during the next week (like "go for a 15 min run" since I don't enjoy running much). Not only is it constructive because if I miss something, I somewhat make up for it, but because I actually GET STUFF DONE!
Sit down, pump up some of your favorite workout tunes, or some workout video. Think about what you wanna look like. Just picture it. Picture yourself running up those stairs in Philly next to Rocky, with that dream body. And then see if telling yourself you're not good enough to get there still seems like a good idea. Chances are, no, you want to succeed.
Keep in mind that failures are learning aides. You get stronger and smarter from them. If you find yourself binging one day, look into your mind and find out what triggered it. You're already one step closer to knowing yourself and how you tick, and that will definitely help you in the future!
If you keep plowing through, eventually you'll find yourself sailing like never before! There will be hitches in the way, but as long as you think you can do this, you got it!0 -

One of the ways I am staying motivated is looking at my reason for embarking on this journey. I wrote it out on a sticky note and put it on my bathroom mirror. I see it every morning.0
