What keeps you motivated?

Question

I am 22 and have gained so much weight after graduating high school (5 years ago). My S.O. is amazing and keeps me feeling beautiful no matter what but I know that I am at a very unhealthy body right now. I keep trying to eat healthy and exercise but I cannot keep my motivation high enough to get results. I work full time and go to college part time. I know it's a tired excuse but I just feel like I never have the time or energy. What do you guys do to help? Any tips?

Answer

See if you guys can get into healthy living together. Maybe try cooking new healthy recipes together and going shopping for the ingredients. Download the Couch 2 5K app and go on runs together.

Answer

Tell someone you love and trust about your desires and ask them to support you. I told my bf I'm trying to eat healthier and he's been super helpful about pointing out when I'm straying from my goals 💕

Answer

Consider exercise part of your work time, just like college and your job. Think that if you start today, where could you be tomorrow?  Don't buy crap food, if you don't have it, you can't eat it. Switch exercise frequently. Even when you're tired, try to exercise 20mins. That's still better than nothing. Don't turn on the TV. There are a lot of youtube fitness page that could help you too. Try weight-lifting, that shit is as addicted as cocaine.  Just remember it's a process and don't get frustrated if you don't get results quicker. Worthy things in life take time

Answer

Maybe join a sports team or club of some kind? That way there are people that are relying and waiting on you to show up to practice/workout with them at specific times of the week. Just an idea! You could also hire a fitness trainer at a gym or just find a gym buddy that you can set times with throughout the week to work out together with. Maybe your boyfriend can be your gym buddy?
