fiftybelow Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 I used to be really fit. I've completed 5 Beach Body programs and I used to be in Kickboxing. Unfortunately, I have -huge- problems with accountability and motivation. I'm famous for going on health kicks where I always SWEAR that "this time is for real!" and then, every time, I fall off the wagon. For the first few weeks I do such a good job, I am so motivated and on track and I stick to my program so well. I hate myself for doing this every time... frown emoticonIt makes me so angry at myself! My biggest dream in life has always been to be fit and healthy. I want to hike the PCT and compete in the Tough Mudder challenge. I spend so much of my time feeling exhausted and sick. I get tired running up the stairs to answer the phone! I know that every time I get in shape, I feel so amazing...so why don't I stay in shape?! I don't want to continue down this path, where I am 170lbs at only 31 years old (five foot six) and losing my teeth because of the amount of sugar I eat. I'm so, so addicted to junk food, especially candy and pop. But I know I can do this. I want this time to be the time for REAL that I make a PERMANENT lifestyle change. I'm really looking forward to having help and motivation here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blayne Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 You can do it! The app is motivating and you will look forward to completing each goal. Running will become fun and an addiction you will stay with. When you want to quit you wont cuz u dont want to lose all your progress and the health benefits. Happy running!

blayne Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Running is also an effective way to let out stress and frustrations and you will love the feeling you get after a run. You feel so good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverGiveUp Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Are you maybe an "all or nothing" person? Maybe when you're eating well and working out, you don't allow yourself any wiggle room to take a break or eat dessert? I'm wondering if you're too strict with yourself so it's hard to maintain your healthy habits. Or maybe life happens, you get stressed, and go back to old habits. Think about this and try to figure out what you can do to keep from going back and forth. You can do this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
