Feeling so unmotivated and I've barely even started!

Not a good day folks. Not been as good as I wanted to be And im ill with a chest infection so not able to do my exercises. Feeling really frumpy and miserable.
I'm excited cos its officially less than a month til I go on holiday with my family on 23rd Sept, but im also really worried and scared cos I tried on a bikini earlier and it did not look good! Seriously not good! I feel so lazy and have zero will power. I feel really powerless as I know I can't get noticeable results before my holiday, so im jus thinkin now should I really bother? Could really do with some advice and support. I'm desperate to look at least a bit better than I do for my holiday. Thanks

First, I hope you get to feeling better, quickly. Not feeling well can make everything you're up against seem much bigger and much worse.

Having said that...you have just started on this journey to good health (and will enjoy the rewards of looking good along the way!) and so you need to look at this not as "must look good in bikini in one month", but more as in "I will continue to eat healthy and exercise even on days when I don't feel like it - yes, even on my holiday", and will buck up! No one on MFP will tell you this is easy, but we will tell you not to whine...because we have all been there, or are there currently - fighting this battle one day at a time, picking ourselves up when we stumble, and winning! Many of us have been at it for MONTHS...some for years, and are still working towards our goals. Please do not be one who doesn't see drastic results in days - and says "I can't do it", and throws it all away. You CAN do this, but you have to WANT it, and you have to FIGHT for it...and we are right there alongside you, fighting also. :flowerforyou:
