    If you like visuals, you can also take 2 clear jars/vases and fill one with rocks/marbles. The number of rocks is how many pounds to your goal weight. As you lose, move the correct amount of rocks from the "number of pounds to lose" jar to the "pounds lost" jar. It's fun to see the second jar fill up.

    I’m not motivated at all either.

    I’m disciplined.

    Sometimes motivation is needed to kickstart a person to become disciplined and form healthy habits. At least that is how it was for me. I agree that you can't rely on motivation throughout your entire process, but it's not a bad thing to start with.

    I have said it here a bunch of times. Motivation doesn't last. Discipline does. You need to accustom yourself to doing what works for you - if it's meal prep, intermittent fasting, a walk during lunch. Then, when motivation is a problem, discipline kicks in.
