Here's your microscope

“You try to stay motivated to move and eat well but you just can't stay focused. Here's your microscope.”

You might need to take a step back. Ask yourself what you REALLY want. Not what your husband/wife wants, or what society wants, what YOU want and while you're at it, WHY you want it. Do you want to be thin, healthy, toned? Do you not want to worry about having a heart attack tomorrow? Do you think losing weight will help you get a better job, man, woman, or life? Be honest inside that noggin' of yours...no one has to know, but you do. Okay, now that you've decided the "what" and "why" you have to map out the HOW. Again, being brutally honest is the only way to get there. Most things in life worth anything are not easy to get, so you have to decide what you're willing to do to get them. But, if you have really decided to go for what you want, you may also need to make a plan for when things get tough. If you bail at the first twinge of discomfort, maybe you don't want this as much as you thought. Plan now for how much sacrifice of sameness, comfort, and schedule you can live with to make your goals happen.
