This really sucks!

The best thing you can do for yourself in terms of motivation is to make a list of WHY you want to lose weight. Include only those things that you can't or aren't doing/achieving now. For example, many people list they want to be around for their kids. But you're already the kids, so that isn't a motivator. A better example would be that you want to fit into coach seats on the airplane (if it's a painful squeeze right now) or that you want to be able to tie your shoelaces without holding your breath (because you have to hold your breath to do it now). As some of these goals are realized, you will need to modify your list to make new goals or remind yourself of why you want to maintain your weight. Read over your list whenever you are feeling unmotivated.

You Can Be Whatever You Want To Be!
by: Donna Levine

There is inside you
All of the potential
To be whatever you want to be;
All of the energy
To do whatever you want to do.
Imagine yourself as you would like to be,
Doing what you want to do,
And each day, take one step
Towards your dream.
And though at times it may seem too
difficult to continue,
Hold on to your dream.
One morning you will awake to find
That you are the person you dreamed of,
Doing what you wanted to do,
Simply because you had the courage
To believe in your potential
And to hold on to your dream.

Sweetie, try not to think about it too much...get dressed immediately, walk/run or dance...anything, just keep moving. Plan every meal, snack, and replenish your protein after every workout...this is a new lifestyle...not a temp fix,
so tell yourself, "Self, I love you...this may hurt a little bit, but I love you enough to love you!"
