Weight motivation????

Question

I need some help 😭 I desperately want to be fit and hethy but I CAN'T get the motivation to get uo and do it. My apartment even has a gym and it's like 3 minutes away. What do I do :( I need advice. How can I fit this in my busy schedule and learn to love it. I don't want to feel like I'm doing a chore.

Answer

Get yourself in the mindset of wanting yo be healthier. Dont focus so much on losing the weight. Thats secondary and can lead to disappointment when it doesnt happen like you want it to. 
DONT call it a diet. Call it a way of eatin. Diets sound restrictive. Start first by making healthier food choices. Cut out the carbs, but allow yourself to cheat once in a while. You are human. Indulging is okay, but in moderation.
Once you get your mind in the right place and your food choices under control, try the gym. Im a stay at home mom of 2 with one car and a fiance that is gone most of the day for work. I got at night, after the kids go to bed and i am there for about and hour and a half to 2 hours. 
I start with cardio and do 2 miles on an elliptical. Thats all my knees can handle. Then i move on to weights. 
Start small and increase when you are ready. I started off only being able to do half a mile and it took me 15 minutes with breaks. Now i can do 2 miles in about 20. 
My weights started at 20 lbs
And i am now between 40-70lbs depending on the machine. 
Be patient with yourself. Becoming healthier takes time and effort. It will not happen over night, it may not even happen in a month. But it will happen if you stay positive and consistent. 
Im a VERY picky eater and i can still find low carb meals that are freakin delicious. But you have to cook, you cant just buy something from the store pre made.
(Also, if you are ever finding yourself wanting to try zoodles, the frozen ones taste like shit. By a vegetable spiraler at walmart and use fresh zuchinni. MUCH. Much better)

Answer

Start really small. Then gradually increase. A 5 minute walk every day for a week is 35 minutes of exercise you wouldn't have had otherwise. Then next week it will be easier to get 10 minutes a day. The biggest hurdle is just starting and making it a habit. By the time you do something about 20 to 30 times, it becomes a habit and you don't even think about it so much.

Answer

I always say motivation is bullshit, what really makes a difference is routine and habits. Motivations comes and goes and it goes easily, but an habit is for life. 
I started with the gym. My schedule is busy as well, in medical school I have up to 70 hours a week between classes and internships. I got a gym membership and decided to not waste my hard-earned money. I packed a change of gym clothes and sport shoes in my backpack before leaving for the day. Once the day was over, I wouldn't go home, I would go straight to the gym. I'm a lazy ass and knowing myself, if I went home first I wouldn't go to the gym. I forced myself to go, when i got there I didn't have anywhere else to go but Work out.
With time, I started to build a routine and got to enjoy going to the gym instead of dreading it. After a long day, gym became a stress reliever. I only got my diet right after a few months of working out, once I was already in the fit life. Lost 22lbs
Take your time. Don't wait for motivation or you'll wait forever. Just pack your clothes and go to the gym.
