[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1628906"] For me it is finding things I enjoy doing. I enjoy cooking and trying different foods. So eating low carb is less about being healthy and more about searching recipe books for something new to make. I enjoy exercise and know it is easier for me if my BG is under control. So I maintain my BG in order to go climbing and hiking. I want to try flying trapeze but I have a dodgy shoulder. The exercises for my shoulder are boring but it will help me when I get on the trapeze. I have some expensive hobbies such as photography. So I don't think of cutting back but of saving for a new lens. Each of us are different and each of us are motivated by something different. You read about parents giving up smoking so they can see their children grow up without the fear of lung cancer. I need a more immediate reward and it seems to help: recently I had surgery and was told it would take a couple of months to recover: by starting healthy and walking every day, I was back at the gym in a month. What my rambles are trying to say are to find a target and reward that suits you: something that is achievable before you get distracted with a reward that is directly related to that target.
