Finding My Motivation: Where the F*ck is it??


Once upon a time there was a 22 year old girl who weighed 197 pounds. She'd been "chubby" most of her life, and was finally sick and tired of it. She joined Weight Watchers and started going to the gym religiously, and over about a year and a half, she lost 56 pounds. She had confidence, and felt the best she ever had!

Fast forward nine years and that girl is a frazzled, working mama who is not happy with the way her body looks or feels. She's committed to Jazzercise (finally!) but she can't seem to stick to any kind of healthy eating plan. Thankfully, she's not back to where she was... YET!

FYI, that girl is me.

Since having kids I've tried going back to Weight Watchers (a couple of times), I've tried Advocare, counting calories and the 21 Day Fix, but I can't seem to stick with anything long term. I've vowed to be kinder to myself this year, but I can't help but wonder if I'm being too easy on myself...

How do you get to, or maintain, a healthy weight?
