How do keep up motivation on working out?!

I would suggest that the most powerful motivator is the truth. What is your truth.? And why are you hiding from it.? This may be hard but spend a minute really thinking about this question....are you truthful with yourself.? Do you take an assessment of your life and really know what's going on without sugar coating it or emphasizing the negative.? Have you taken a picture of yourself and acknowledged, fully acknowledged that you don't look good - that you don't look healthy.? Have you looked down at your midsection, when you're sitting down.? How much of that bulge is bulging over.? Forget about your looks for a second and spend a minute acknowledging the health consequences to your extra slice of pizza. Are you avoiding old friends or maybe your brother because you don't want to see the looks on their face in reaction to your weight gain.? Do your helpful friends even make a comment here and there that would get you on track, but you ignore them.? Do you say to yourself, "they're just jealous. They might be thin, but they're hungry and miserable. At least I'm full and happy". Maybe none of these questions resonate with you. But if you focus on the truth, you'll find the right question inside of yourself, the one that reflects the truth and the key to your motivation.

There is one way and only one: you make a commitment to yourself, one that you will follow through with, no matter what. Say you decide to work out 4 days a week. You decide what days, put them on the calendar, and you do it, no matter how whiney or tired or busy or whatever you feel. Even if it's dark out, or your car broke down, or whatever. This way, you are making it a priority, you are telling yourself it's the most important thing for you everyday, and you are following through with it. This will help you so much, because you are also learning to trust yourself, and trust your own commitments. This is how self-esteem is created.

After you've done this for a few weeks, its way easier, as the momentum you've created and the endorphins floating in your brain will be further inducements to continue your program.

Great question!!! Good luck.Health Question & Answer

I put a picture of a totally hot celeb. on my door so when ever i walk out to go exercise i can just think.... I can have him as soon as i loose 5 lbs. something like that. Or if you go jogging for 20min. everyday this week you can go buy yourself a new shirt on saturday. Because you can work and work and nothing comes off. So you need to reward your self for at least trying. Don't motivate your self with food though. Health Question & Answer
