How to Sustain Motivation when You're Struggling

I struggle with motivation and keeping my head in the game everyday. My biggest problem is that I'm all too willing to just give up rather than take a step back and look at what's really going on.

Eating for comfort has become as easy as eating for stress and boredom. All of these things are often times too difficult to examine. Taking a good look at what's really going on would mean admitting to myself that my commitment to losing weight isn't as true as I've convinced myself it is.

I'm back here again because I know this works; my hurdle is sticking with it and getting off the pity wagon. My success is only as good as my commitment. Great posts and great source of support.

The most common thing for most people is they are always looking at/for the "end" scenario...once you realize there is no actual "Finish Line" you won't feel overwhelmed to try and be perfect with your diet, eating, exercise, weightloss etc... If you truly want to be successful at this then accept it for what it should be and that's a lifestyle change...there is no perfect weight or body shape...you are human, it's okay to be human...we all fall, we all struggle and that's perfectly okay...when you do tho, don't beat yourself up over it, don't allow one rough day to turn into a bad week or a bad month or longer...get up, dust yourself off and know that the sun will come up again tomorrow...life will go on...if you have a goal, please don't wait until you get there to realize your beautiful...you're beautiful right now...chin up you amazing people...it's not a race, so enjoy the ride and expect to hit a few speedbumps along the way and if you find yourself heading in the wrong direction, simply slow down, do a U-turn and get heading back in the right direction!! Much love to you all...
