Do your clothes fit? I gained around 15 lbs. I have a closet full of size 4 but I can't get into most of them. I also feel fat. I never had any rolls and I do now. My motivation is to fit into my clothes and be comfortable. Try going to your doctor and see why you're gaining. Mine told me I was pigging out on carbs. I have cut way back and have lost 3 lbs. in a bit over a week. Progress is motivation.

I was in the same boat. It's all too easy to fall in the "tomorrow" routine. The words that inspired me the most were, tomorrow comes whether you fix your bad habits today or not -- so why not start today, and you'll be that much further ahead?

Excuse the bluntness, but I believe you need to hit a personal rock bottom before you'll make the change that you want/need to. Each of us had our own tipping point where enough was enough and we finally just did it and are still doing it. I was in the "meh" stage for a while. I kind of worked out, ate like crap as a reward for working out and then gained 20 lbs. One day a picture popped up on facebook of me with a bunch of friends 2 years ago and then a similar picture recently. All I could do was cringe. I didn't think I'd gained that much until an actual before and after pic was right in front of me -- and everyone I knew could see it as well! That was it for me. Something clicked, and I made little improvements day by day. And now I'm getting back to the before picture You'll find your motivation, but it has to come from something inside of you that truly wants a change of lifestyle.

For me I also like to find what isn't fitting and find a great pair of jeans and hang them so I can see them everyday until they fit. I mainly, however, go online (mostly Pinterest) and will find a lot of different motivational post or just read about getting fit and kind of go overboard with exercise ideas etc. One more think I do because I am a runner is sign up for a race with adequate time to train and then I know I have to get moving! Good luck
