Hello! 22/F here, sw of 360+ at age 18. My ass-kicking moment happened at a family reunion, when I couldn't fit on the roller coaster that everybody else was riding, and was asked to get off. That, combined with growing up overweight was enough to kick my shit into gear, and was enough to sustain me for 1.5 years while I lost weight in an all-but linear fashion through simple CICO, and little to no exercise.
For reference's sake, I am 5'11", have never been in the healthy weight range (like, since I could walk), and my career goals are to be a personal trainer and/or nutritionist.
Over the last two years, I've hovered around the same weight (210-220). I'll get serious for a week or two, track my eating, work out several times a week, and get into onederland! And then immediately decide I'm tired of it and eat like garbage until I get upset about my weight again.
So now I have little to show for the last 2 years of (shoddy) work (aside from less back pain! thanks, core strength!), and I'm looking for advice. I know I have a few things working for me. I have experience in self-motivation, and I'm young, and I've managed to not shoot my metabolism to hell. But it's almost like the shock of the ass-kicking moment has worn off, and it gets harder to get up and get stuff done each time I try. I know 40 lbs is still not a "small" amount, but to me it seems like the home stretch.
Does anybody have any advice on how they motivate in this stage? Thanks!
