One of the most difficult things to do when trying to achieve a personal fitness goal is to stay motivated. My motivation is to loose my gut and put on a bit of muscle. I've always been thin but as my age increased, my metabolism decreased - resulting in a bit more unwanted meat around the waist. I didn't realise how fat I had become until I saw a photo of myself and how my belly protruded far beyond my centre.
Seeing this photograph helped me to define a personal goal - "loose the gut". I printed it out and have it pasted on my wall so that I can be motivated not to look like that again (at least not before 55).
Something else which helps me to stay on track is that I often browse through "Mens Health" magazine which always has a cover model showing off his abs and telling the story of how easy they are to get and to maintain. Although they are models they seem very ordinary. Their reason, I'm sure, for staying in shape is to remain employed as models.
If you do want to make a serious change about the way you look, define your personal goal. Constantly remind yourself of what it is you are trying to achieve.
