What is the secret to motivation do you think? Hubs has been gone for 8 days now, and I have NO motivation to do anything. Clean, Cook, exercise....nada. Do we need a cheerleader? Do we need a goal? what the heck is it?
What do you use for motivation?

Pictures of what I look like now and what I want to look like. Plus, I think of all the damage I am doing to my health, how I want to fend off diabetes and Cancer as long as I can (lot of it in my family)
ReplyDeleteYou can do it! Stick with it!
Panic works. Or the thought of looking like a middle-aged blob in your silver wedding photos. Or the thought that you may have to go to an employment tribunal feeling and looking less than your best. On the other hand it could be the fact that I want my boys to see me as a slim(mer), fashionable mum and not a dumpy frump.
ReplyDeleteI'm running through all of those things as I sit here stressed and needing a morale boost (I know where the choccy bics are for Dan's LAN party. Why did he postpone?) Aaaaaagh!
I try to stay positive (I know if I get depressed I'll want to eat) and a lot of the time I just have to suck it up and do it whether I like it or not. I'm looking forward to that point in my weight loss where it will be noticeable in my clothes and in pictures, and that will help me to keep going. Until then, I just take it a day at a time!
ReplyDeleteI use the fact that I have to report things on my blog to keep me going :) I look at the clothes I want to fit in. I think about the way I feel so awesome when I do exercise or cook myself dinner.
ReplyDeleteJust think about all the reasons you want to do it and get to gettin' :) Good luck!
