I have misplaced my motivation. It was easy to find at the beginning of the summer. I was going to water-aerobics each morning. I felt great. Then work interferred and I started having 7 am meetings. My classes started at 7 am. When the meetings started my motivation went into hiding. I haven't been able to find it again.
My mom is losing weight. My cousin has posted some great weight loss on Facebook. My son is exercising every night. The more people I see successfully doing something I am not should bring back my motivation. Right? Wrong. My motivation has been even harder to find.
I keep waiting for THE MOMENT or THE THING that will get me moving and feeling better. It is elusive. I know, I need to do it for myself. But negativity is a terrible things and I think, "Will doing this really change my life, change me, make me a different person?" The answer comes back as "No!'. Really? That's not fair. It should make me feel better and isn't that what I need? I know it is. I need to feel better. I'm just not motivated.
I'll keep looking. Maybe I will find it.

I am exercising like a fiend and gaining weight. I think I am the only person who exercises and gains weight.
It will come. Keep the positive self talk, and it will come!
I'm in the same boat. Megan has lost a bunch of weight and I've regained the weight I lost a few years ago- so disheartening. Now that I work, it's so hard to find time to exercise and I'm kicking myself for not getting the weight off- and keeping it off- when I was a SAHM!
I am currently reading the book "Wheat Belly" and I think it really applies to our "Nielson" genes. Maybe it will help you?
