How to keep motivated?
First off, this isn't one of those questions on how to lose weight or anything.
I really want to lose weight & I know that I can do it. My biggest issue is on how to keep motivated and to keep on track. I want this SO bad but nothing will seem to make me stick to it. I love food and that's my issue. No doubt.
I know about nutrients, protein, carbs, calories & I've learned this all from Jenny Craig. That was working fine for me but it was expensive and again, my problem was keeping on track and being motivated. I just want to be healthy and I want to feel great about myself and I'm confident but I'd like to acomplish this. I'm 15/ female.
I need advice on keeping motivated and honestly, I really want this even if it doesn't seem like it. I don't want a nutrtion or anything. Thank youu.

Like the first answer said it does come down to your personality. You need to keep focused on eating the right things and not eating to much of it. Not as easy as it sounds...I know. So try this:
Hang up pictures of a celebrity who is your ideal size. Ideal size includes, the height you are, the weight you wanna be, and the kind of shape she is in. If she is in good shape she might have strong legs and arms and a nice butt. Put this picture on your fridge or where ever you eat from most often. So when you go to get a pop, candy, or other junk food you will see the picture and think I wanna look like that. This will keep you to focus on what you need to keep out of your body. But make sure and change the picture at least once a week so you don't get bored and just give up on it. If something happens to your mindset on the way you wanna look change your picture with someone new.
I also suggest to ask a friend to do this with you. If you have a friend do it with you it keeps you more competative and motivated. If your friend loses weight you'll want to look better than her. Then you lose weight and she wants to be better than you so you trade all the time which not only helps you but someone else. Make sure this idea is okay with your friend first so she does not get mad at you for "using" her or competing with her.
And lastly go to the mall and buy you a bikini you want to fit into by summer. Hang it up in your room and everyday you are about to eat or drink something think of how good that bikini will look on you in the summer. I hope I helped, hun!
Good luck losing weight,

It all comes down to your own personality and ability to commit to goals. You can get a trainer and have them map out precisely what is bad and what is good and have them guide you but it all comes down to one simple truth- the only person who makes or breaks your goal is you.
If you want it that bad then you are going to have to be aware that you will make a lot of progress in the beginning and then it's going to slow down and peak a bit- this where most get discouraged and quit. If your personality is that of someone who relies on everyone and needs to be forced to do things then the overall likeliness of you failing is pretty high. Doesn't mean that all is lost.
Once you start to see changes- you have to tighten your belt one more notch, you start to see a line in your muscles that wasn't there before then you get energized and hopefully you will do it forever and not just until you reach a weight, stop doing it and gain it all back.
I am not going to bullshit you- it isn't a hobby; it's a lifestyle and if you want it as bad as you say you do then you will adjust accordingly and learn to rely on nobody but yourself because with all this stuff it isn't a team effort- you're in it to win or lose it all.
