My motivation in the last 9 months has been a roller coaster. I go through streaks of "This is easy, how did I even eat like that." Then there have been those times of "Who in their right mind would turn down this delicious morsel of food and get out of bed and run?" Maybe that isn't for everybody, but I think the important part is when your low, try to pick yourself. I tried and failed quite a bit, and luckily I've been able to find a good groove here and there. What I'm afraid of is the maintenance... haven't ever had the chance to do that before. I'm sure its the same thing though, keep being healthy. Anyway, the fact that you are trying and on here is better than nothing! Just hang in there, you'll find a groove :)
