Whether its fitting into that bikini or being there to watch your children grow up, what motivated you to lose weight?
For me, I've struggled a lot with finding motivation that truly sticks. I lost 150 lbs a few years ago on "YOLO" essentially, but I'm having trouble reapplying that this time around after regaining some of the weight. I've tried
- You only get one body, so take care of this one.
- You need to be healthy so you can watch your nephew grow up and be there for him
- If you're healthier, you'll be more attractive and if you're more attractive maybe you'll find a girlfriend
- If you stay overweight, you'll have (more) health problems when you're older
And others. And as painful as it is to say, none of those have had long-term staying power because my hungry ass can always think of counter arguments to whatever I think up.
Right now my motivation is something like "You spend so much time and effort on your body already, from getting braces to having laser eye surgery and including things you do every day like having good hygiene... You're investing heavily in yourself in all these ways you overlook, why would you ruin all of that by being overweight? Especially when it's a straightforward problem to fix (CICO)?"
