I definitely need to lose some weight myself. Unfortunately I can never stick with anything. Including this simple method. I have done MyFitnessPal for weeks, and then fall out of the habit. Just never manage to stick with it, and not sure how to keep myself motivated for it.
Of course its always hard, half the time I eat at the salad bar at work, and I may not be able to estimate the amounts right. I always worry about underestimating how much I ate. I have even considered eating pre-packaged meals, but those always leave me hungry, and seem like a less healthy sodium filled alternative.
Not sure what my point is, but I guess I am wondering if anyone has managed to keep themselves motivated after years of failing to stay motivated? And if so, how?
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoYou have to really want it, to have a reason to do it that is more important to you than your comfort because your body is going to have to eat itself and that's just never going to be a pleasant experience. Additionally, weight loss has permanent metabolic effects, so you'll have to keep doing it for the rest of your life. I found an athletic hobby I really enjoy, so that works for me, but everyone has to find their own reason or come to the rational conclusion that it just isn't worth it.
- swah 8y agoNot yet. I'm still falling for the trap that after a few days "doing well" I'll award myself a binge (I'm not very overweight but would like to lose 5-10kg).
