I realized that if I was super critical of myself, I lose motivation.
I reward myself with simple things, like movie night with friends, or I buy a new blouse or shoes.
I set really small goals, like " I'm going to walk for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, the inner dialogue starts.
"Really, Just 5 minutes"? You can go for more" and so I encourage myself to do more.
Yes-- there have been those days where I don't want to do more and so I don't but by keeping a running tally sheet, I look at daily as I want to be accountable.
Another idea is if you can find a set time to do it, that's great,__if not it may offer a variety and change of scenery.

My goals are to keep God center in all I do because without him I know I could not control my eating habits etc.,I Choose to live one moment and one day at a time,full of Joy knowing that each day is a blessing from God and a fresh start.Yes I will stumble and that's part of life but then I plan on getting right back on track again.I am not where I want to be,but each day gets me farther than I use to be.God bless everyone
