You dont need motivation, you need good habits. Use your motivation now to establish good habits for when the motivation fades

Motivation fades. It just does. When you're tired, when you're sad, when you're hungry; you'll be less motivated .

Dont rely on motivation. Plan ahead. Plan to succeed even when you're not motivated. Make a plan that does not require constant willpower and motivation.

Save your willpower for other areas of your life. Save your willpower for unavoidable temptations and unusual situations.

If your diet requires motivation; it's either too strict or not well designed. Work smarter. Not harder. Think long term. Not short term.

For me this means high-volume low-calorie foods like popcorn, strawberries, yogurt, protein shakes, veggies and fruits making up the bulk of my diet alongside lean meats and healthy fats

For me it means always having healthy snacks on hand and eating small meals 4 or even 5 times a day

For me it means never being hungry.

For me it means having no temptation in the house around me

For me it means embracing diet soda, splenda, and low calorie options in most of the dressings and sauces I eat.

For me it means measuring calories weekly so I dont get discouraged by a bad day

For me it means eating my biggest meal before bed.

What does it look like for you ? How have you made your diet foolproof ?
