I am hovering around 12 stone at the moment, I am in my last year of uni and I am really struggling to balance everything (I have deadlines, paid work, job hunting (NOW OVER YAY) and my boyfriend of 4 years just broke up with me. What a shitter...

I have written a timetable for myself factoring in time to do uni work and go to the gym but I just have lost all motivation for everything...

What do you ladies and gents do to keep yourself motivated?

Hello MissMimi,

I struggle with motivation too, especially when you have alot on your mind. Take some pressure off, and when you are feeling a little more relaxed make time for a gym session, you will find that going will give you a little boost, and the next session will be alot easier and the momentum should build from there. I'm in a similar boat to you, similar weight,similar goals and have a balancing act of supporting a busy DH, and two young daughters not yet at school. Finding the quality time for gym and even meal planning etc is so hard.

Losing weight seems to be easier when im more relaxed and not putting pressure on myself..... dont put yourself under pressure for too many things as you likely feel overwhelmed??

Maybe you could try n use the gym as a rest from your studying. Maybe have a session n then a nice relaxing swim after n if u have sauna n steam facilities use then to unwind. Rather than felling like the gym is a chore if u get what I mean.

I remember being at uni, I had a young child too so was very busy like yourself. Naturally I'm a very untidy person but for some reason when i got fed up with uni work id clean just as an excuse to get my head out of a book. My house has never looked so clean. Maybe use the gym like that
