    Motivation or willpower comes and goes. I’m trying to establish habits. Habits will carry me when I feel unmotivated.

    I’m trying to get in the habit of working out, logging my food and staying within 50-100 calories of my goal.

    Not sure if this helps but this is my strategy:).

    I have written down all my motivations and advantages for weight loss and living a healthier lifestyle and look at that list at least once a day. I also write down all the positives I notice along the way since starting my journey and look at those when I need to. It's really helpful for staying the course.

    What I did was look at my "before" picture every single day. If you don't feel motivated? looking at yourself in your underwear will pretty much keep you on track. I promise.

    I've lost 60 lbs and I've got about 65-70 to go. I log everything! I cleaned out my fridge and pantry, and threw away or donated everything that was clearly off limits. I stocked up on easy go-to foods that are good for me and my diet. I announced on facebook that I weighed 264 lbs, and I was working on losing it, then I posted regular updates. I look at restaurant websites to check calories in advance, and know what to order before I go. I drink only water. Giving up coffee and soft drinks was hard at first, but after a couple weeks, I even gave up my Crystal Light replacement.

    It's all about building new habits.
