Starting again and again!

TheKittyCato

I am so sick (literally) of starting over! I just get so tired of not seeing the results fast enough that I eventually just give up (yea it is a lifestyle, but I want the "look" that the lifestyle brings). I usually do well through the week sticking to my plan and tracking my meals. However, it all seems to go to pot on the weekends, completely out the window. I am so discouraged! I have so many life changes that I want to make, but it all seems to start with my weight loss and excercise commitments to myself. I can't get past those to make other goals and commitments. So it seems that I either really need to make the change or get over the idea that I will of being one of those healthy lifestyle people that I see and admire so much. I ask myself can I really do it, do I really want to? Sometimes I do, so often the lure of old habits and the comfort that they provide wins out the struggle of doing the right thing. I do realize in this moment, that at the end of the day when it is all said and done, I have to ask my self which do I prefer. The bad habits and the resuts of that lifestyle or the good. In this moment today I choose the good, however, HOW DO I KEEP THIS MOTIVATED frame of mind. How do I stay in this place and not allow myself to make the excuse of the hard day, or week, fatigue or I deserve?

I have this problem constantly! It is very difficult to keep up with good health and fitness in the beginnig. And if one day goes array it can effect you mind set in the worst way. What has kept me motivated are my clothes. getting up the week that i've been a health nut and working out constantly, I feel more energized and my pants start falling off. The weeks I continue my revolting bad habbits, I find myself unable to get up out of bed and needing to buy bigger pants. Buying a bigger size of pants is not an option and seems to get me back into routine. Just work at it. Keep track of you food and excersise. Especially if you over eat one day, so that you are seeing what your bad decisions are doing to your progress. or lack of. Pick a goal, even a small one. The moment you reach that first goal will be the best! Good luck!
