How do you motivate yourself to exercise and eat right?

Question

If you were ever really over weight, how did you get started loosing?

Answer 1

You have to say to yourself what the little train that could used to say to it self: I think I can,I think I can, Ithink I can.

Answer 2

Well first you have to realize that there is a problem with your body. You have to realize a problem with your body that can only be fixed by exercising. Let's say you have realized that you are overweight and now you realized how big a problem it is because you can barely get upstairs. The thing is, people exercise because they want to stay fit and be healthy. If you think that you are already healthy than it's going to be hard to motivate yourself.

Answer 3

I got sick of everyone standing next to me so they could look good !! I think you just have to be in the right frame of mind to decide to loose the weight! I went to Weight Watchers and lost 50 lbs! That was 10 yrs. ago , and I have only gained back 10lbs. I am still waiting to get back in the right frame of mind to loose the 10lbs. Nobody can make you do it. You have to want it for yourself .

Answer 4

First learn something about the physical body and come to understand how miraculous it is. then treat it in a sacred manner - as if it was God's body. Remember sometimes when we eat we are merely pleasing our tongue. When the brain says whoa, then whoa. Lastly much overeating is emotional. Find another way to deal with your emotions such as a counseling.
