hummmmm well what motivates me is my happiness. I have a great husband and 3 great kids... I should be really happy... so Im working on it...

I just want to feel my happiness a lot more than I do...

I try to think about my goals or about the things I want to do in my life. I also think about things I'm looking forward to. For example, my family is going to England in June but I won't be able to go unless I'm fairly healthy and stable. I also think about my family and the people I love.

my family and my wish to be happy one day

Emma Emma, Oh I do so love you, almost 12 months since we first met and guess what we are still here. Motivation is about having a plan and sticking to it, all you have to do is change one thing at a time and your confidence will begin to grow. Love Fane, catch up soon yeah xxx

nothing atm when i have a qite moment i get so confused, i suppose the thought of my hubby makes me feel a bit more likely to be ok but im struggling.

My motivation comes from within. of being empowered. by following my higher powers will for my life. each time I make that choice I learn what works and what doesn't work for me and it empowers me to keep moving forward.

My motivation comes from my desire to get things done each day. My ED takes up so much time: thinking about it, planning it, going to get the binge/purge food (I don't keep B/P food at home), binging, purging, recovering from the BP. It's so very time consuming. My desire of study each day, look for work each day, do meaningful things each day is my motivation to not B/P.

Awesome post! I've been really struggling with motivation this year. I think I'm just really confused, or just forgot, how to stay consistently motivated or what specifically will motivate me.
I feel like the motivation I do feel though is so vague and I want to know exactly what it is and where it comes from. Anything vague can easily be forgotten.
Does any of that make sense?

I've been trying to do more stuff. Asking for more hours at work, making plans with people, spending more time with my daughter (doing what she wants to do). It helps a little for me.

sometimes i don't..... and sometimes i just remind myself that gtting ou of bed and having a shower wil actually help me feel better. I struggle with too much motivation at times, so i ind getting the alance really had.

My future keeps me motivated. I litterally have been from hell and back, and my dream is to help others who are in my shoes. Clearly I cant do that if I am still active in my disorders.
