I can't stay motivated!!

Have you tried having smaller goals? Try a goal of losing 10 lbs, when you reach that, repeat the goal.

Take a good, honest look at why YOU want to lose the weight, not what others say or what you think it should be. It doesn't have to be 'to get healthy' either. That wasn't mine. Once you find that reason, you'll have a much easier time staying on track. For me, it was the fact that I'm fat in my wedding pictures. I didn't want that. I wanted to be able to look at a picture of myself and recognize myself again.

Echoing the small goals idea too. Big goals are made up of smaller ones, so breaking things down to smaller increments can really help out.

Also, keep in mind you're not perfect. You will have off days, days where you're sick or have an unexpected celebration or just don't give a JustinTimberlake. One bad day isn't going to sabotage you or make you a failure. It makes you human. Log it, learn from it, forgive yourself and move on. That can be one the hardest lessons to learn, too.

It's a mind set ... and it won't get easier until you truly accept that you are much larger than you want to be, that your cravings is what put you there, and that the urge to give up stems from your desire to give in to the craving ... and, most important ... your cravings don't make up who or what you are.

Hating yourself for being where you are right now won't help you ... and in a way, that's what you do when you give in to the craving or either the food or the self loathing. At least, that's how it seemed to me when I was going through what you are going through right now.

It was like my mind was playing this sort of self-talk ...'you are a failure, look at yourself you cow, you don't even deserve to be slender and beautiful because you let yourself go, you might just as well go ahead and eat a cake right now' ... So I had to admit that yes, I had let myself go ... in the past ... but that didn't mean I would let myself go now at this time. I'd remind myself that it took a long time to get so overweight, and I needed to patient as lt wold take some time to come off. I'd try to find something lovely in the image that I saw in the mirror ... even if it was the color of my eyes or my smile. I had to, actually, learn to love and value myself before I found I was strong enough to handle the cravings. Now, when I give in to them, it's with a sense of purpose instead of from weakness.

For example, there have been a lot of items I've seen all over my social media sites and reading material about pancakes .... and the desire for some has been growing. I decided that I would go ahead and have some today. I halved one recipe and made them ... and ate every one ... but it will fit into my calories for today as I planned for it with the breakfast I had and the dinner that's waiting for me in the fridge. And I won't crave pancakes again for a long time ... because, truthfully, they are not as satisfying to eat as they are to look at and smell.

Good luck and love thyself!
