My experience has been it's all about the mindset. You said when you lost weight before it was to show your ex how great you could look. Have you ever explored what it might be like to lose that weight just because you want to feel good?

Once you tire of the status quo. you'll find your motivation within. If need be, "fake it til you make it". Some of us (me included) find that a little success is all that's needed to keep the motivation going.

Whatever you choose to do, I highly recommend writing out a plan as you would with any serious goal. This way, you can cross off each step you"ve taken and each small goal reached. The sense of accomplishment you'll receive from this will be awesome!
