Too Much To Lose: Motivation

Motivation The older I get, the harder it is to lose weight and get motivated to discover a healthier lifestyle. A busy schedule that is full of stress too often leads me on a path that ends at the vending machine, ready for that sugar high that will get me through another few hours of work. A commitment to a healthier lifestyle begins with finding those motivating factors that will sustain you through those late-night cravings or the feeling that a few doughnut holes will provide a deserving reward to the end of a day while watching a little television. What are the things that motivate you? For me, a healthier body would be nice, thank you, for starters. Finding relief from muscles that ache constantly and a feeling of overwhelming tiredness and depression that seem to be a reflection of my busy life form which I cannot escape would be a boon. But enough with these thoughts that it would be good for me. What are my real motivating factors? For starters, I want to look decent in a swimsuit when I take my soon-to-be 3-year-old for swimming lessons next summer, and just be able to keep up with him in daily play with a back that is not screaming in pain. You can add to the list through the comments section on this story. Your ideas may be the motivating factor behind someone else's decision to change their lifestyle. And if you are involved in a weight loss regimen, be sure to check out e-loseit.com and log in your successes. Let's get motivated.
