For the past few years, I’ve known I want to reduce weight, and I should for my health. But honestly, I just don’t have the motivation or willpower. I’m 5’4 and weigh around 195 pounds, so I know I’m overweight, but no matter what I do, I can’t seem to motivate myself or find the willpower to stay to it. I’ve spent a lot of money, tried every diet, attempted medication, and worked out, but I honestly reach a point where I lose willpower and don’t care enough to stick to it.
So I’m curious, what was your final reason for deciding you just needed to lose weight? Has anything happened? Or maybe you saw something that made you understand you needed to? To be honest, I’m not sure what I’m asking, but I can’t tell whether I’m trying because society expects me to or because I truly want to. How did you come to your decision? What prompted you to get up? And what factors contributed to your motivation and willpower? What helped you stick to it? I’m sorry, but I am struggling.
I’m 29 years old, and I have ailments that persons in their 60s are normally diagnosed with. Losing weight is one of the simplest methods to manage the vast majority of these ailments, so I’m starting there. I do not want to die within the next 20 years, and I do want a fighting chance.
I’ve been gently losing weight for the past two years, but I’m hoping to break through my plateau this year and achieve a healthy weight.
I never go out and socialise, but about two years ago, I met this girl who I liked, but I had no self-confidence to make a move, which was primarily due to my weight.
So I made the decision to modify things after that. I’ve shed 30 pounds since 
and feel much more secure around people now.
This is extremely egotistical, but I wanted to look my best for a wedding. I joined a gym that is slightly too pricey. I pre-register for my classes one week in advance. They will fine you if you do not show up.
It started with the wedding, but now I just feel great.
I missed my periods for three months and obtained a blood test that revealed I am pre-diabetic.
I got a health checkup. I am considered obese, with an abnormal body fat percentage and a number of concerning health conditions.
I do not like the way I look in the mirror.
I miss the days when I used to take shots while wearing beautiful clothing.
These were my “wake-up” moments.
I’ve gotten several wake-up calls that I eventually snoozed on.
I don’t like how I look in images.
