Before and after, to be motivated

Options
I have been skipping workouts and eating more crap and I don't feel good about it. Someone suggested to look at have far I have come so I could be inspired to continue so I put this together. This pictures are one year and 52lbs apart!

    Wow, there is a huge difference!

    It's the holiday season, it's hard to be inspired to diet and exercise right now. Keep looking at the difference between the two pictures, and ask yourself, "do I really want to go back there?"

    Someone else posted in another thread: "Losing weight is hard. Maintaining weight is hard. Being overweight is hard. Choose your hard." I loved that because it's so true. Being overweight is hard, really hard. Hard on your heart and your joints, your mood and your self-esteem.

    Good luck, darlin'!

    You are looking so much better and 52 lbs lost is remarkable, very inspirational. Do not worry about feeling less motivated we all go through it. Just relax and set some smaller goals for yourself to gradually get back into things.

    I know the feeling! I am giving myself December to maintain where I currently am at. Which leaves me plenty of room for holiday treats... I will use the week after Christmas to edge my way back down in calories, and in January, I am going to get back to work! You look great! Enjoy the holidays!

    And Ddon't worry about eating crap. Take a break for a week or two and then start again. Even some strength trainers do it (taking a break from everything). We put a lot of work on our nervous system while training for longer period of time so i think the nervous system deserves a break here and there every once in a while... it not just the muscles working!
