how bad do u want your overall goal?

ive always thought of bodybuilding as a way of life. If you dont eat it, sleep it, and live it get out now in other words. Understandable no ones perfect but can give it your best and push for self perfection imo

ive always lived by 100% in or nothing at all and it kept me on my diet but after awhile it kinda seems to become apart of you and you wont desire alot of the bad things to knock you off your diet.

if you want it? you will do it!

what?

Find a balance- if you're dead set on living like a bodybuilder then you're really not going to be living much at all.

It's really not hard to find the time in the day to go to the gym, and to eat several meals a day. It doesn't have to become the sole object of your life. If it does then that's pretty sad. Especially if you're still young, and judging by the way you spelt discipline I'd think you're pretty damn young.

When you find out please make sure to let me know

[lostboyrufio]

get a full length mirror.

as you see results, you'll stay motivated to keep going. if you slip up, you'll notice it and you'll feel like a piece of s###, which'll make you work harder and focus (either that or feel hopeless and drop it altogether, but let's keep that thought buried somewhere ok )

Because when I look around and see only 10 or 15 other people in the gym, I know I'm doing something most people can't (or won't, rather). When it becomes routine then everything becomes easier. For it to become routine, you have to do it consistently. It took some time, but I find it very very easy to watch my diet when I want to.

[lee thompson]

visualise where you want be in six months then set realistic goals to get there.

[T-rav]

Set your overall goal you want

* then shoot for short term goals leading up to that and keep both that and anything moving in the back of your head to push you along the way,

stay close to the forums and dont tempt yourself in going around your mates that like to go to mcd's as you sit and watch them.
(note: enjoy going out but dont let them trick you into thinking 1 bigmac a week or 2 is gonna hurt you even if it doesnt the metal thought of it sometime might kill ya it did to me when i was younger trying to stay on a diet )


cheat meal now and again is great imo
no ones perfect

you have to want it.

eat like sh*t = look like sh*t

[Red5]

After a while eating clean should become the norm, it's actually habit forming.

The idea of cheats (small amounts of what you fancy) every now & again is that you won't be craving those foods.

because you never 'diet', eating smart is a way of life.

[theycallmehutch]

It really helps if you remind yourself often that it's hard for everyone, not just you. Anything can get tough if you think the difficulty your having is unique. That's not supposed to sound dark.

[Merk0135]

You have to have the end in mind. Snapshots of weightlifting make sense to give up. Once you're tired of going to the gym and getting little or no results you'll give your diet your full attention, or give up.

find an emotional reason to stay motivated. i don't mean something that'll make you cry and ****, but something that gets you emotionally involved and slightly irrational if you may. for example, public embarrassment, extreme disappointment, stuff like that. things that trigger an emotional (sometimes, angst-filled) response. my "emotional trigger" always helps me force out a few more reps.

here's a quote by socrates that you can use of you want,
"...what a disgrace it would be for a man to grow old without ever seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable".

[BigMikeD]

What motivated you to eat like a slob? you enjoyed it right?

Find a way to enjoy training and eating clean...
