Hire a trainer - A trainer will help you stay motivated and provide professional training tips and support. This can kick-start your commitment to a lifestyle change. Plus, you will be less likely to flake out if you have paid for a trainer.
Reward yourself for making changes - When you receive a reward for your motivation, you will feel better. Reward yourself for meeting your workout goal with a healthy treat.
