@sistertwo And just like that, you have reactivated this discussion! There are a lot of posts to read through, and perhaps some will seem out-of-date, some will seem not relevant to your own situation, and some will have you nodding in agreement! I admit upfront that I have not read through the many pages here.

Motivation for moving forward, whether it be for physical, emotional or mental health, finding our way through our roadblocks, certainly can seem to be quite a mountain to climb. Listening to what others found that worked, trying new ideas ourselves, feeling like we are not alone in our efforts, and celebrating our triumphs, no matter how small they seem, are priceless.

What are your thoughts for staying motivated? What personal goals do you have that you struggle with?

I have a difficult time staying motivate and I really need to,, the best I think what triggers me is stress, anger and then I get depressed. So I eat unhealthy foods such as Carbs and Sugar. These unhealthy foods only make me crave more of them 2 or 3 hours later..And then I feel guilty and frustration with myself.. I end up with a lot of Fear as to what am I doing to my health. I like healthy foods and have plenty of organic vegetables and fruit in the house. This has been a life long problem for me and I am so sick of it and don’t know how to stop.
