Hard to find motivation nowadays.

Hey all. Quick easy short life story.

Currently 27m 5’5, 220lb

-Grew up massively overweight 220 when I was 10-12 yo. -Over long time lost 77 lbs. -mastered counting calories and lifting weights -Mind was in a bad place at my lowest weight of 143, gained back 40 or so pounds binge eating . -Got into a car accident gained even more weight.
-weight has been up and down 20/30 lbs over the last 3 years , aka spinning wheels

My goal is 170 lbs: that’s a comfortable weight for me. I have a quite of bit of muscle And still workout routinely . Once in great while I’ll take a week off.

Problem is it’s hard to find motivation nowadays. I have a girlfriend , I’m happy with my mental health, there’s no binge urges. No depression. I have a good job, successful in most forms of life , wealth is healthy , homeowner. Although I’m very self conscious about my weight since I need to lose weight. It’s a daily thought that always crosses my mind and it does bother me . I miss that feeling and confidence of being skinny so so much. Especially on vacations and with friends. What motivated me to lose that weight through the previous years , is no longer there . Those things don’t matter to me anymore like they used to.

I know how to lose weight easily . It’s just sometimes I mess up and rather sit home and order garbage food and relax . Sometimes that makes me happy but it’s effecting my overall weight loss.

I’ve already lost 10 lbs since I was just about 230 this year. Any motivation tips for almost middle aged man ? Even tho I’m young I feel like that’s the mental state I’m in
