    Keep going without it. Motivation is fleeting and unreliable. Work on developing good habits. Summon determination when needed.

    I wish I knew who to credit for this:

    "Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going."

    I've taken my time to develop the habits I need to keep going...tracking and calorie-counting, planning and meal prep, increasing my water intake, exercise. It's a process. Trust it! You really can do this! Along the way there will be successes...slow steady weight loss, really good food choices, stronger workouts, clothes fitting better...those will be the sparks that re-ingnite your motivation. They'll happen because of the good habits you've formed. And when there are bumps in the road and you're feeling discouraged, those same habits will help you stay on "auto-pilot" while you work through the struggle.

    You can do this!!!!

    You can do it! You should never give up on yourself. Think about that end goal.

    I set mini goals and when I achieve each mini goal, I reward myself. Sometimes it’s a pedicure, or I will go out and eat something I don’t eat everyday or I will purchase a new outfit.

    Mind if I ask what part of this you are struggling with? Is it the logging? Is it the portions? Or the food choices? Maybe something else I haven't thought to ask?

    Why did you get started in the first place?
