How to lose weight with no time or motivation? -

For the past few years i ve constantly told myself that i need to go on a diet, but i always seem to fail. I don t have enough time to work out, but i also can t cut massive amounts of calories because i become irritable and i end up failing anyways. I also have very little motivation. The other problem is that i dont have much to lose, probably just about 10-12 pounds, so it s very hard to lose those last few stubborn pounds. What should i do???

Just think about how great your body/muscles will look afterwards.

It sounds like you re setting yourself up for failure by going the all or nothing route. You don t have to cut massive amounts of calories - just trim back a couple of hundred calories a day. As for exercise, you don t have to set aside a block of time and do it all at once. Do 5-10 minutes as soon as you get up, then 5-10 minutes walking at lunch, then again in the evening. It will be a slow process especially because you don t have much weight to lose. You shouldn t expect more than about 1-2 lbs. a week. It will work but you have to stick with it.

I can t guess at how many times I ve heard this baby steps ....that makes it so much easier to get started and then build from there. Keep in mind, anything you do by simply starting the process is healthy and effective. Don t look at long term, unrealistic goals...go for each day and take that extra small step. Give yourself 15-30 minutes and walk. Pick yourself up some hand weights and do a few reps of military and french presses. You don t have to start out with a 1 hour routine and don t let weight loss be your primary goal...go for a healthier more fit body. And your irritability could be coming from the foods you re eating. If you re doing sugars, caffeine or bad carbs...white breads etc. that could certainly be causing that. The hardest part is always taking that first step, this I know and understand.

find motvation, because you are missing the whole piont it keeping it off. If I did not have a will or motvation if I did loose the weight I would just gain it back. And get u earler to make time you will get used to the time you wake after a week or so

You have to make time to exercise and you have to plan your diet to ensure you eat healthy. There is no other effective way.

youre fat. give up now.
