Hi everyone,

I'm having little issues in every aspect of my life right now. Things are starting to get better but basically I'm working seven days a week and have gotten very lazy when it comes to exercise...I still eat the right amount of food for the most part! But I just need more encouragement. When I started mfp I was also starting my second job, and I would wake up early to go workout...I wanted to get into running and I still love running, I wanted to add a mile per week and I was up to 4 miles last time I ran (which was like 2 weeks ago). I'm scared of getting on the scale because I doubt that I added any weight, but I'm scared that I stopped losing. Please add me, motivate me! Don't be afraid to call me lazy if you notice that I haven't worked out in like two days.

I'm in a very draining situation because I'm working so much and because of where I'm living, but the gym is my escape and I need to get my willpower and discipline back...so please HELP!

Also some tips: Should I make a motivation board? Daily quotes? Little rewards? HELP!

Thanks!

-Amanda A.

    Thanks!!!!! This is actually motivating me to hit the gym tonight after I skipped it this morning (shame on me). Or maybe I'll go for a late night run.

    When I'm stressed, my first reaction is to consume unhealthy food and rest (no exercise). But those are the times I need the healthy habits the very most! I had a couple of stressful days over the weekend, and neglecting my new habits (3 weeks on mfp) made things better only for a few seconds, but much worse for the hours afterward! I felt like a failure and was so angry I gave into my cravings as I've done so many times in the past! So I took a few quiet moments and revisited my desire to be healthy, and reviewed how great I've felt since starting mfp. The next day was a new day and I got back on the horse because my desire to change is stronger than my desire to stay the same. You can DO THIS!!! Ugh stress! You are stronger! :)
