Can't find the motivation

Hey guys i used to work out when i was 15-17 but after meeting my long term girlfriend working out seemed to take a back seat in my life and i no longer was interested in it but now we have a house together and i find myself want to get fit again but i can't find the motivation as i keep thinking if i stop again then it was all a waste of time and that 1 day of working out does nothing so i stop doing it and watch tv i want to get out this rut any tips?

Can't find the motivation

Stop making excuses and in general being a whiny bitch, and just do what you well and truly know you should be doing. ffs.

It's not as easy as that...Plus i have other **** in my life that puts me down and makes me not want to get out of bed for work in the morning never mind working out lol then i have a naggy ass gf when i get in its complicated i need something to motivate me to make me think it's not going to be a complete waste of time also i struggle to think what i would be able to eat to help me with bigger gains on a budget.

Ah well, I tried. That kind of "motivation" works for some people. I mean, some random stranger on the interwebs being a bastard at you - how can this fail?!

I dunno, mate. But look at the Nutrition forum, and post there, for all your food-oriented questions. I know for a fact you can eat big, with a ton of protein, without breaking most budgets. It's doable.

And exercise... you're right, in that it requires motivation, but in essence, what I said before is kinda true - it has to come from you: life, gf, work and the rest be damned. You really have to want this thing, and then make it happen. No amount of others advising you in this way or that is going to suffice.

IOW, motivation is entirely an internal thing. You have to create it / summon it / will it into being, not "find" it.

Motivation Forum -> motivation quotes

If you keep making excuses then you clearly don't want to get fit

Partly that's true, But it's also a mind set i think as i said stuck in a rut and i always think if i bust my ass of for years getting fit then hit a slump again it was all a waste of time.
