How Do I Keep Myself Motivated To Eat Healthy And Exercise

How do I keep motivated to get in shape and eat healthy?

Visualisation.Do you know who Jim Carrey is?I hope you do; He’s one of the best actors and standup comedians in the world, and has won ~40 awards and has been nominated for ~61 awards as well.But, Jim Carrey did not have an easy life. He suffered from poverty and homelessness (Not to mention he was very lonely at school). When he was just 12 years old, Jim Carrey’s father lost his job and the family moved to canada in a run-down van with no job insight.But why am I telling you this? Well, Jim Carrey’s best form of resilience was visualisation. It was his dream to become a famous comedian, and he worked hard at it too. Fun fact: because he also suffered from dyslexia, he was uncontrollable in class, so his teacher would give him 10 minutes and the end of class to go “all-out” at the end of class, and his peers loved it. Every time he would get in trouble with his parents for making funny faces, he was sent to his room, which ment more funny faces in front of the mirror.You can apply the resilience strategy in your life too. If your goal is to become healthy and in shape, you should visualise that and work hard for it. Take it from Jim CarreyHoped this helped! Good luck getting towards your goal of being healthy.

How do you keep yourself motivated to eat healthy and workout?

I honestly think it depends on what moves you and it is important for you.Ask yourself:Do I care about my health?Does not taking enough good care of myself has had consequences for my health, my self-esteem, my relationship with my partner?Can I do the things that I enjoy that are physically demanding?Do I care about looking and feeling younger and sexier?Has my lifestyle affected my clothing choices? Would I like to dress differently?Will I be able to live long enough to enjoy my children and grandchildren?Do I want to become a burden to others because of my eating habits and lack of physical activity?Would my sex life improve? Is that something I want?Is eating unhealthy worth all the cost it has short and long term?Is that junk food more powerful than my will and self love?Understand that you can eat delicious healthy foods, that developing a taste for things you thought you would never try is a job you gotta take on, and that experimenting cooking new things can be fun. Involve someone close to you in your journey and make it fun for both. Remember than once you have gotten over the challenge of getting used to staying active it becomes a need to your body as much as you may “need” that slice of pizza or that bar of chocolate, that you will have more energy and will feel happier than ever.If you are spiritual think that the way you take care of your health tells about how much you really appreciate the gift of life that God gave you. Show him respect, gratitude and appreciation through taking in charge of your own health.Some people only see working on your body as a shallow thing, it depends on what place that comes from in your heart and mind.The way I see it is as if you give something very precious to your child and then you see your kid tearing apart what you gave him. How does it feel to God the harm we do to ourselves with our choices? I honestly see it from that perspective. We don’t need to be fitness models but we are certainly responsible of our health. How much different is to commit suicide than slowly killing ourselves by bad eating habits?Choose the motivation that best fits you. I hope I have contributed to get you thinking and taking on a positive journey towards a healthy lifestyle.

How do you get yourself motivated to work out and eat healthy? I’m starting to fall off track and need a little inspiration(:

Imagine the person you want to become; how does she/he looks like, how does she/he feels, what is he/she doing?Practice self-love since you are doing this because you love yourself. Be gentle towards yourself and start doing more things that make you feel good.Make sure you first cover the basics like sleep 7–9 hours per day and learn to reduce stress. Practicing deep breathing is a good way to reduce stress and feel better and you can take few deep breaths any time, anywhere.If possible do your workout right away in the morning or some movement if you can´t do your main workout.Add healthy foods to your diet before removing anything; there will be less and less space for the unhealthy foods. Learn to make green smoothies or green juices and add a lot of greens to your diet. Eating greens decrease your cravings.Few days ago I found this and it might help you Healthy Eating: A Beginner's Guide on How to Eat Healthy and Stick to ItI hope you reach all your dreams :)

How can I motivate myself to eat?

Do stop eating because you are afraid of getting fat? Or is it some other reason?I had the similar problem. Back then, a year ago, I stopped eating any snacks. I only eat food that I considered healthy. But since I am vegan, I needed lots of food to provide me enough energy. I didn’t have enough, so I was seriously underweight.I realized how bad the situation was, but I couldn’t eat those “unhealthy food” anymore because I felt extremely uncomfortable.My mother worried about me and took me to different doctors. She even willing to pay thousands or more dollar to get me to a healthy state.I didn’t want her to waste money. So I forced myself to eat. Now, I am able to eat what I want and control how much I intake. My body weight is still a little bit underweight, but it has increased a lot.So for me the motivation of changing myself is actually money. How know how hard my mother works to earn it, so I don’t want her to waste any of it.To motivate yourself, you need to feel the scary of losing something or have the hope of gaining something. And you need to have a thorough understanding of your problem and the cause.Have more knowledge on food and form a healthy diet.
