Yes but you need the "something clicked", and often that something cannot be taught or even described. It's like one day you wake up and suddenly you have motivation for something you never had before, with no discernible cause. Just a random "act of God". That's why I find it impossible to blame anyone who cannot motivate themselves to better themselves or improve their situation. I know all too well what it is like to be totally unmotivated, and how fickle and random it is when that motivation finally arrives.
- cheza 4y agoI second that! I've tried to explain the "click" before but to no avail. You just wake up one day and have the motivation. I wish you could DECIDE to have it!
- kerrsclyde 4y agoYes, if you could recreate that spark of motivation for others you'd be a billionaire. For me it was a crazy little thing, nothing to do with being fat-shamed or even feeling guilty about my weight. I heard a radio journalist doing a show at a UK Slimming World meeting (or Weight Watchers). He was essentially poking fun at those attending, saying they would never keep any weight losses off. I thought was pretty mean, so I went to my local Slimming World meeting and signed up. I lost weight, learnt about healthier eating, tracking my weight etc. I don't go to Slimming World now but the good habits started there.
