Hey!
Whenever I felt like giving up, I'd picture myself in my new body, how I'd look and everything.
If I was on the phone, I'd work my legs, to pass the time.
If I was on the treadmill, I would put a picture of my favorite celebrity and look at them and think "I can do this!"
Just don't let the media put you down. They have photoshoping and everything which I think is seriously unrealistic
Keep a food diary, it could help you.
If you need motivation I'm here for you!
If I'd eat a certain food, I'd ask myself before "How would I feel about eating this afterwards?"
Inbox me and I'd be pleased to help//motivate you!
Hope I helped!

Get a role model who was or still is fat and is losing the weight. Eg: Queen Latifa. I'm also fat and I'm using a role model to motivate me

you should just tell yourself you don`t wanna
be this way anymore and you need a change [x] lej

It might not seem like much, but I can tell you that getting plenty of rest and eating well will do loads for your level of motivation.
Alot can be lost when you're tired and you don't feel well. You start with one day of saying "Well I'm tired. I won't do it today" and we know how that goes!
Don't take on too much at one time. You'll never get through it if you make HUGE goals because it really just feels like you'll never get there. You will though if you take baby steps and congratulate yourself on what you've achieved.
Start with a small goal of maybe 5lbs. Eat well. Sleep well. Don't skip meals. Exercise. In time, you'll notice small changes that will excite you enough to keep on going. I promise you that.
For exercise there are alot of videos available like Tae Bo (works REALLY well), TurboJam, mile walks, etc.
Try any of those. But make sure to incorporate variety. Buy a few if you can. It's alot easier to stick to an exercise program if you aren't doing the same thing each and every day.
hope that helps and good luck<3
