I dont know if you watched the Oprah show talking about the book and movie "The Secret" but that has been a huge turnaround point for me. Basically the principle from what I understand is that you have to think positively and assume that you will get to your goal eventually, everything else is just the steps you need to take to get to that goal. I'm just explaining in the way that helped me to get motivated but you might want to pick up that book because it really helped.
I work out daily minus one free day. So the way I do it, is I go in the morning before work. I find that if I set my alarm to go there, I figure my sleep has been disturbed anyway, and I only have another hour or so if I dont go to the gym so I just jump out of bed. I usually have everything ready to go before I go to sleep and my gym is on the way to work so that's definitely a motivator. But since I've been going in the morning, I find it a huge difference. I have more energy so I dont eat in the day out of bieng tired, and I get the whole night off. I used to work out after work and would spend the whole day eating and dreading the gym. But now I feel like if I overeat later, I just wasted getting up in the morning. Just the way I got motivated, it may not be right for you, but I think the key is to convince yourself that you are doing it as a treat to yourself rather than a chore. It is what is necessary to get to your goal. Just keep picturing yourself the way you want to be and you'll get there! Good luck!
