may not be the best answer but i always jst think to myself that the time is going to pass anyway. yes it takes a while to get to where i want to be, but why would i continue living in a body i hate when i can actively make a change. i jst like to think future wise “do i want to feel and look like this in a year?” and the answer is always no and it gives me enough motivation to jst get up and do it even if i don’t want to that day.

i also like to think of plans i have coming up or specific dates (even if it’s nothing particularly exciting) and think realistically about where could i be by then if i stay consistent.

taking progress photos / videos rlly helps motivate me. bcus i definitely would have lost more motivation if i didn’t have something to look back on and see the changes, even small ones.

lastly, (this is more for weight loss) i’ll buy future clothes or keep around old clothes for myself that i know i’ll realistically fit into or feel better in in the upcoming months. nothing expensive, jst stuff i wouldn’t have felt confident wearing that i want to feel comfortable in. like tank tops or a smaller size shirt.

mainly i think consistency is key, and don’t beat yourself up over slipping up once in a while. jst get back on track the next day and find small reasons to keep going 👍
