I (26m 360 lbs) can't seem to stay motivated with my weight loss for more than a few weeks at a time, and fall back into old habits. Seeing progress pics and hearing stories is cool and everything, but that doesn't mo me. I follow Instagram and YouTube fitness channels, and I have a firm grasp on how weight is managed in the body. It just seems like I don't have a clear goal, and being skinny isn't enough.
I've always been a big guy, becoming fat early on. I don't know what it feels like to be skinny. I've lost a lot of weight, and have been able to keep it off. Last spring I was up around 400 lbs. I've been able to lose weight and keep it off, but it only lasts like 2 weeks at a time before I fall off the wagon and start back into the easy foods. The same goes for the gym too.
I'm a student, so my schedule is very irregular and stressful. I enjoy the stress, mostly because I get depressed easily if I'm too bored for an extended period, longer than the weekend usually. This makes eating properly and going to the gym regularly a challenge. Now that I'm on my winter break, I want to get into a regular rhythm and try to avoid boredom.
Tldr: what are some motivators that aren't typical?
