i dont know what to do i use to workout everyday now its a struggle to workout how do i get back motivated can u help me im starting to gain weight back and i dont want that i need to stop it before it all comes crashing down urghhhhhh

The best way to motivate I have found is to play. Make exercising something fun and exciting, not a chore. Like for me, I HATE running, but I love to hike. So instead of running on a track or something I find a nice intense hike to take.

And another thing, sometimes you have to just treat it like work. You wouldn't just say ah I don't feel like it to work would you?

That is what has worked for me so far.

What made you keep consistent before?

What are you saying to yourself when you think about this lifestyle?

What exactly are your goals and why do you want to obtain them?

What will it cost you physically and emotionally if you don't obtain them?

If you could reach your goals tomorrow, what would you be willing to do today?

How much 'pain' can you link, mentally, to not reaching your goals?

These are the sorts of questions I would start with. And I wouldn't simply think about the answers. I'd write them down. Brainstorm with pen and paper.

Just something i put together to keep me motivated. Thought i would pass it along. Also, think about how good it feels while you work out and after. Sure it can be tough to get there but sometimes you need to force yourself. You know it feels great to lose weight. KEEP IT GOING!!!! Hope this helps.

I have my inspiration pile of clothes that I try on regularly. These are clothes that are slightly tight and not quite wearable. This really motivates me to keep going.
