    Amped to hit the gym! This is what works for me! :)

    I watch parts of episodes of things like My 600 lb Life. None of those people intended to get that fat, but it happened nonetheless. I'd have to gain 400 lbs to get to that point, but it definitely makes junk food and sitting on the couch less appealing.

    Take a daily selfie. On days when you just want to say forget it, look back at day one. You'll be your own motivator. I also take a pic of my cardio machine and compete with myself.

    If I tell someone I'm going to workout, I do it. I can't go back on my word! Also, I love shopping for cute workout gear.
    Looking at before/after photos are a huge motivational boost too!
