I cant get myself motivated to exersise



Recommended Posts

I will NEVER love working out, so I agree with screwing the idea of motivation. I just think of it like another thing I have to do, like wiping your ass. You HAVE to wipe your ass! Lol!

Whatever gets you to the gym I guess. I enjoy my gym sessions, but they are a little easier to enjoy than wiping my ass....because it's slightly less messy, but takes nearly as long. :huh:

*le sigh....I was referring to the topic: MOTIVATION. You don't need to be motivated, you just have to do it....

It took about two months. I do Water aerobics 4days a week and work with a personal trainer for strength training two days a week.

It's very much a "Just Do It" thing for me too. I don't look forward to it, I don't like it when I'm there, I don't like the extra laundry, I don't like losing an hour out of every day, but I still go 5 days a week. Every Week. No exceptions.

I doubt I'll ever like going to the gym, but I DO like what it's doing for me. 91 pounds down, off my BP meds, blood sugar back into normal ranges, energy is up and my clothes sizes keep on getting smaller. That's why I keep going.

Just Do It!

I'm a 66 year old who did a 5 k walk for the first time in April. Water aerobic exercise 3 times a week... Golf twice a week. Still taking a cart because I hit so many times for 9 holes. Will walk another 5 k in color run in Lansing MI in July. I hated exercise!! Haha

You may just need an energy boost. Tried eating more nutrient dense food, natural foods, stuff that is not processed. It made a big difference for me. I am always wanting to get up and go now, I do lots of walking and starting to hike now and I'm and old man. If you eat right and take good supplements, you will always wanting to be doing something, you'll be dancing around darling. Go to your local healthfood store and speak to a nutritionist. A lot of it won't taste great at first, but you start to look and feel great, and exercising...it's a snow ball effect.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
