.I want it so bad so I don't get it

Answer

Psych PA here. It’s not about wanting it, don’t listen to people that say it is. There’s something that stands between you and your goals, that’s your brain. And as it turns out, your brain is an asshole (not to mention the addictive nature of theee ‘cravable’ foods and binge eating). We constantly self destruct as humans and if you can’t get through this mental block on your own consider seeing someone to help with the thinking errors that happen, you may need medical work up or even support groups like Over eaters Anonymous. If it was about waiting it obesity wouldn’t be an epidemic but you aren’t in this alone! I agree with poster who also recommended small steps. Don’t go on a diet make little lifestyle changes. Every step counts!!

Answer

it’s very hard, and even sometimes the most motivated people can lose motivation some days. you’ve got to start small, make small goals. you’re not going to be able to do everything right away, and if you try you’re going to get burned out. sometimes cutting all sweets and “bad” foods can almost always lead to binging. what’s worked for me is meal planning, and sometimes adding a little treat in once in a while. indulging in a small treat every once in a while helps me not binge because i’m not craving any of the sweets that i would be if i was completely cutting them out of my diet. 
as for working out, i get it, it’s a little harder now because of covid!! once again just start small, maybe go out for some walks, or try some at home workouts for beginners. it’s hard work, but once you get into the swing of it you’ll notice you’ll physically and mentally feel so much better!!
but remember, you’re beautiful the way you are! the biggest thing here is to help your mentality, make yourself feel more confident, and live a healthier lifestyle. you’ve got this girl, hang in there<3

Answer

Nah.. if you wanted so badly you would not be here complaining how you can't do it. 🤷 There's nothing between what you want and you.

Answer

No. What you want is a quick fix. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way.
You will have to put efforts. You actually know what you have to do so stop looking elsewhere. 
Also If you do those drastic diet (in an attempt to loose quick) you are more likely to give up as they are not sustainable...and spending your life doing those unsuccessfully.

Answer

I’ve read to help get consistent like that, don’t start on Monday. Because then you say you’ll start next Monday. Start whenever you damn well please! I know it messes with your brain. It surely messes with mine. I’m in the same boat as you. Try starting on a Wednesday (but, if you’re doing weekend rest days, keep those because those are still weekends!)

Answer

Start small and don’t start on a Monday. Eat better on Wednesday night and Thursday morning. Eat better Saturday day & night.
After many days you’ll sub out the bad days for better and better.
Don’t be hard on yourself when you have an extra bite of your fav dessert or a soda just remind yourself you can’t have it next time.
Take a journal and right down how great it felt on those days you truly committed to yourself and health and happiness.
You got this! 🙏🏽

Answer

It’s very hard to stay motivated.  Some people innately have it and others don’t.  I love working out and running and there are plenty of days that I’m not motivated to do it, and there are days that I just don’t.  What I’ve done to help my friends and women like you is created a page of workouts for beginners that you can do in your home...and they are only for 15 minutes. We do checkins to ensure that we are holding one another accountable and keep each other motivated.  We are going to start going live sessions soon on IG Live so check is out we are a small community just starting off but I think you’d like it.  IG & YouTube @nahlafitness 
It doesn’t matter how bad we want it or how motivated we are to do it, sometimes it’s just easier not to...and that’s the battle that requires a community to support you.  I hope you join us I’d love to help you in your fitness/health journey.

Answer

You have to start slow. Start by eating less rice or less bread. Then say okay no sodas. Then drink more water. Start slow with things that are doable. I eat pretty good and lift my 4 lb weights 3 times a week, and use my resistance bands. But to be honest when I get off work today I’m going to In n Out, because I have a craving and I want it 🤷🏾‍♀️ lol. Maybe have a set time to feast, like you only eat 10am-8pm. You could lose weight definitely just by not eating late at night. That way your stomach has time to digest until the next day. You got this. We all fall off but it’s what you do when you fall off that will determine how you will look in 2 weeks lol so just get back up tomorrow and walk around the block for 30 minutes and call it a day. And just do some kind of walk or activity a couple days a week

Answer

I joined a women’s boot camp. It’s hard. I don’t have motivation so I have to go to a group setting where I pay for it. Since I’ve been stuck in the snow this week i haven’t done anything. But this group helps a lot. Plus it’s 80 percent diet and 20 percent working out. I’ve been eating like crap this week too. I notice the cleaner I eat the better I feel as well.

Answer

You have try to channel all that wanting into doing. Don't wait for Monday start right away. as soon as you get the ball rolling the motivation will come easy. Best of luck
