i cant seem to get hold of this dieting lark.. i have been trying but nothing working any ideas?

yoovie

motivation doesnt last, which is why its recommended daily - like bathing.

here's the trick about motivation though, the 'catch'.

It cannot be stored.
It cannot be put in the fridge until later.
It cannot be hoarded or stacked up around you or saved as a jpeg with 1423 other motivations in a file on your computer.

You have to use as soon as you get it and then release it back into the universe for others to be motivated by. Release back out there so others can use it. Release it by using it to its fullest extent. use it all up and it will be so much stronger when you let it go back out there.

its just a moment.

Motivation is a fleeting beautiful thing that takes the edge off doing something out of sheer determination and willpower. People will tell you over and over, myself included, that you MUST learn how to motivate yourself if you are going to make it any distance toward your goals... but Im going to tell you something different.

Dont lean on motivation. be surprised by it when it happens upon you- or love it when you create your own. BUT DONT LEAN ON IT.

Lean on your WILLPOWER.
Lean hard on your determination to prove to yourself that you can do this.
Stick to your training.
Pick something too big to work toward.
Use discipline and prove you really want it.
Actions speak louder than words.
Willpower is more reliable than motivation because you CAN control that.

You dont need the spoonful of sugar to make the medicine work.

She is genius^!!!

Another thing my love, stop thinking in terms of this as a 'diet'...and think of it as a new lifestyle! If you look at it as something you will be doing for the long run it doesn't seem so daunting.

As for motivation, you have to dig deep within yourself.

If you ever want to talk, feel free to friend me. I can be a kick in the butt if you need it, or just an ear too.

No one told us this was going to be easy, but it damn sure will be worth it.
