It is sometimes very hard to get motivated to do something that you know that you should, you really don't want to but you know you have to do. If this sounds familiar, know that you are not alone. Most of us are like that and we each respond differently. Some simply decide not to get motivated and that in itself is a decision. Sometimes making no decision is a decision.
Others among us will search diligently for a motivation and eventually find one. It could be wanting to wear a favourite dress to work one day only to find it no longer fits you or it no longer looks nice on you. This mirror scan of self can be disheartening enough to get one motivated. Others will simply hang the dress back up in the back of the wardrobe because they will wear it again "one day".
That one day could be years from now but the dress will hang in that cupboard until that 'one day' arrives. If you want to know something sad/funny? By the time that one day arrives and the size is right again, you will feel so proud of yourself and your achievement that you don't want to be associated with anything that reminds you of where you used to be!
Others will get motivated by a wake-up call from their Doctor not only advising them again to lose the extra weight but telling them if they don't lose the weight their health will go downhill for the rest of their lives. This is a pretty good alarm call for most but it still misses some people's senses.
If you find that you fall into this last category, and there is no shame or blame here if you do, then I suggest you ask your Doctor for a referral to a psychologist because I think they will likely be your best bet at this point. It's not absolutely your fault that you can't find the motivation to save your life it would seem to be a bigger underlying emotional or psychological reason behind your death wish and this needs fixing before you can progress to the next step.
