I was sitting here, reading some of the posts, and wondering -- where do you all find your motivation? I see so many of you who have done so wonderfully in your weight loss, and I don't seem to be able to lose five pounds.
I simply lack the motivation to do something about it. I know I need to. I want to. But I simply don't do it. I don't drink my water like I should. Heck, I don't drink water, period. I don't exercise like I should. Again, I don't exercise, period. And eating... Ugh. I know what I should do. I even find myself eating, thinking *why am I putting this in my mouth?* But it goes in my mouth anyway.
My eating habits are terrible! Absolutely horrible. I tracked my food on Fitday for a week, earlier this month. Oh my. Looking back at them, I am seriously worried. I ate anywhere from 2500 to 5000 calories PER DAY. AAAAHHHHH! That is seriously scary. No wonder I weigh 257 pounds at 5'2"!!
What was your personal kick-in-the-butt to get started? What made you get up off the couch or out of the computer chair and lose that weight? Just typing this is making me feel better, like I am actually admitting I have a problem with food -- and I most definitely do, if I'm eating 5000 calories a day!
Sorry for the long ramble here. I would really love to hear everyone's motivations. What got you going?
