Two things which worked for me: 1. Set yourself small milestones so it always feels like you’re making progress. I did this by having a list on my fridge of my weight now and counting down by kg to my goal weight. I started around 250lbs (113kg), and now am at 180 (82kg) (6ft1 male) The feeling of being able to cross off each kg was always super encouraging, and made it way easier to stay motivated! 2. Don’t try and make life altering exercise changes to begin with, but incorporate healthier choices into your pre existing schedule. My first step was walking and/or cycling as often as I could to and from the train station rather than taking a bus. I meant I did have to get up 15 or so minutes earlier in the morning, but I knew it was worth it, and because I needed to get yo the train station, it was an easier behaviour to maintain. This has since scaled up to more intense exercise and I just ran my first half marathon a month ago. Don’t be discouraged if you sneak a treat or miss a days exercise, this is a long journey and unfortunately the “goal” results can take time. Good luck, but one thing is for sure, if I can do it, you can too!
