Don’t rely on motivation – just do it, anyway. We do many things in life whether or not we feel like it (and whether or not we feel particularly motivated in the moment), like brushing our teeth, taking a shower, putting on our seatbelts, getting to work on time, handing in assignments, getting up with our kids, etc. We don’t tell ourselves, “Maybe I’ll take a shower next week, when I feel like it,” or, “I don’t want to get up with my kids right now, so I’ll sleep in today.” There will probably be many times when you don’t feel like practicing your dieting skills, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do them anyway. Instead of waiting for motivation to strike, think about why it’s worth it to you and just do it, anyway.
