Yeah, I can relate. It's not so much a question of motivation - I kind of feel like I'm gonna do this even if it kills me, but just feeling "blah". Not cheating, not gonna cheat, but not feeling good physically either. Hungry, weak, tired almost every day. Makes total sense about not working out, I usually go home and have a nap every day because my energy level is non-existant.
If I remember correctly, you don't have tons to lose either do you? If so, just keep your eye on the target - there IS AND END IN SIGHT. That's what I keep telling myself. And I don't mean that means binging - but just having enough calories and carbs to be able to feel normal again - and start hitting the gym again. I feel like my muscles are going to atrophy soon.
Hang in there!!!!! Please - you are worth it!! DON'T CHEAT!! It won't help - you'll just feel guilty.
I just saw your stats - OK you have a bit of a longer target but just look at the inspirational folks on here that have done this before you and are continuing to do so. You just have to get into a ryhthm. I think part of the reason I feel so lousy is because of what John explained once about Leptin levels being lower for people that don't have much to lose - therefore we are hungry (and in my case weak) all the time.
