    Willpower must come from within.

    If I ever feel unmotivated, I hop on the scale, curse, then go work out.

    I like that idea about the scale!
    I agree that motivation definitnely comes from within but thankfully it comes from outside sources as well like encouragement from others and the example of other people. I find that I am very extrinsically motivated so I am grateful that I can be inspired from others.

    Way to go with putting your running shoes on and reaching out to people for motivation and support! You got this!
