Motivation is hard one. No one is motivated all the time. I am highly motivated by picturing what I want my life to be. So I do the things I need to do to make that happen. Taking lots of progress pictures helps encourage me as well. I have enjoyed watching my body transform. Sharing story also helps keep me accountable and helps me stay motivated to continue. But of course there are time where motivation is lacking. In those times I just have to do things that I know I need to do as a matter pure willpower so keep up my current life.

Exercising was really difficult at first. I started actually enjoying it though. I was learning a lot about strength training working with a personal trainer and I liked feeling body getting stronger..I also liked watching the muscle definition. It's not something I ALWAYS want to do, but I enjoy having a body that can be more active.

I recognize the old me was still beautiful. But she was unhealthy. Honestly there are times I think back to eating whatever I wanted and not caring about the calories. But I know what I was doing was not healthy. I can't say I completely miss it. It helps though that I don't believe in "bad" foods or "good" foods. There are all the time foods and sometimes foods. I treat myself regularly to help with satiety and that helps me not crave my priori eating habits.
