Motivation and tips?

Question

Hey hey! So I’m currently the heaviest I’ve been in my life. In my head I’m super motivated and have all these different plans on what I’m going to do to get the weight off. But it doesn’t last for one reason or another. I’m kind of upset with my myself because the fact I want the weight off should be enough to light a fire under my a**, but apparently it’s not. Any one have any tips on how to take baby steps or any stories about what helped them??

Answer

Girl I am in the same boat! It’s not the motivation I am lacking but really the discipline. My first goal is to try and change my relationship with food (I am a big emotional eater) and pay attention to how my food makes me feel. Let me know if you want an accountability buddy! It helps ☺️

Answer

At 9 weeks postpartum, I’m also heavier than I’ve ever been. Here is how I motivate myself. Maybe it will help you too: 1) if you’ve been completely inactive, even just walking a few miles is more exercise than your body is used to and all other things constant, you will lose weight  2) you will burn additional calories doing nearly any form of exercise because it’s simply harder when carrying excess weight  3) the heavier you are to start, the quicker you will see results because your body wants you to be at a healthier weight. It’s the last 5-10 pounds that will be hard but by then you’ll be in a good routine and feeling motivated 4) losing weight is all about creating daily habits. Stick to those habits and every day additional “old” items of clothing you haven’t fit into for a while will start fitting again. It’s like a new wardrobe for free! And once something fits again you never have to wake up wondering what in your closet will fit b/c you know you have at least that item/those items.
