help!

stand in the mirror.

Guilt. My mom bought me a treadmill and paid a lot of money for it. If I don't use it I'll feel guilty.

My health, appearance, and the smaller clothes in my closet is my motivation. My MFP friends on this site is a extra bonus for my motivation. I'm tired of failing myself year after year. I'm determine to be me but in a different body!!!!!!! I remind myself its up to me to take this road to the finish line!!!!!!!!!

:smokin:

I hate to admit this but many times it is fear. don't want to feel in pain again, don't want to be lacking in energy like before, don't want to look away from the mirror when I see myself or hide behind others in photos.

Fear isn't a great motivator, because alot of us learn to just accept fear and live in it. But for now, I just don't want to go back to the ways i lived before.

Best of luck - I believe you will find the mindset it takes......be patient and loving to yourself!

I have a hard time motivating myself too, but once I get to the gym or I'm out exercising I'm fine. So I just make myself get there, and then I know I'll work out! Not sure if that will actually help you, but it does me haha
