I have struggled with my weight and the motivation to exercise and lose weight for a long time. I searched for motivation for a long time and finally found it when I realized that I wanted to get older and feel healthy, have more energy even though you get older.
What worked for me was that I immediately made a plan and then continued to plan week by week until it became a habit and a matter of course in my everyday life. But with the plan and the knowledge of what I could eat, it became easier and easier.
My body responded quickly and incredibly well when I increased my protein intake, balanced my blood sugar, and cut out gluten and sugar. The pounds came off quickly at first, but it was almost nice when it started to go a little slower, but still, my body responded to the strength training and my food choices and slowly became minus on the scale.
It has been fantastic to be able to feel full, avoid cravings and snacking. Instead, stick to the meals and the plan I set up each week for training and food.
