Need Motivation

Look ahead rather than behind. Set your goals and make it happen. I occasionally fall off the wagon (ok, well, its more like jump, land in a rocket, and take off as fast as I can from the wagon) BUT consistency is the key. Just make sure you get back on track. Everyone will have a bad day now and again but it is how you handle it AFTER the fact and to never lose sight of your goals. You can do it!

I'm here to gain and I'm in the same boat. It's equally hard cutting and adding to a calorie count. I've been avoiding eating... not because I don't want to, but because I'm too lazy to actually cook. I know I need to eat to gain, but I've been letting my procrastination get the best of me. What I'm planning on doing to motivate myself is taking a full body shot of myself and putting on the frame of my bedroom door. Every time I see it, it will be a kick in the butt to myself to follow MFP instead of just saying "Eh, too lazy". Just know that you can do it.

A quote to remember as well:

A failure establishes only this-- that our determination to succeed was not strong enough.

So why did you come to myfitnesspal? What are your mini goals? What are your treats for said mini goals? My mini goals are 3 lbs down by november 15th and at goal weight by january first (another 5 lbs). Once I hit my november 15th goal, I get a new workout outfit. Once I hit my goal weight I get a pedicure. This is what keeps me motivated and remembering why I am here. I am here to get healthy, to stay healthy, and never EVER see that dreaded number I saw on the scale in April. So remember why you joined, think of whats going to keep you here, whats going to keep you motivated. Put those goals on the fridge or on your mirror so everytime you go there you know what the point is to it all.
