Lacking Motivation

TheManWh0SoldTheWorld · February 2018

When I started losing weight I was super pumped about eating right, doing exercise, and staying away from baked goods. I lost a good 20 pounds back then but now I’ve gained it all back and I find it hard to get that spark back. How does everyone stay so motivated? Help!

I'm motivated by my lifestyle, which includes baked goods

I don't eat "right", I don't exercise. I have stayed a healthy weight for three years now.

Fear. I’m not at all sure I could lose a significant amount again.

I'm motivated with the simple fact that if I continue with what I have been doing, I'm on a dangerous path towards diabetes, heart disease, etc. I want to see my son grow up. While what motivates me might not motivate others, it's what keeps me going. Feel free to add me. My diary is open.

I'm only about 10 lbs in, but after many successes and failures, what is working this time is making habits, not relying on willpower or motivation. That, plus including treats in my day while watching calories. That way I don't feel deprived. I used to go all in and make all these extreme rules for myself. That always led to failure.

I feel the same as molliencharlie, but I also look at my parents and their limited quality of life because they did not take care of themselves. I don't want to become that, and I don't want my kids to see me that way someday either. It's all about perspective!

Thanks everyone! I really want to get fit for my career in law Enforcement. I just have to get back into the routine
