I wake up each morning feeling super motivated. Things go well until like 3-5PM. Then I just suddenly give up. I have to lose weight because I'm prediabetic and I have high cholestrol and stuff. I just keep thinking of that whole "if you want it that badly you'll do it." Thing.

Idk. How do I stay motivated?

Motivated to do what? Thats suppertime for me. After school and dad gets home from the factory. You gotta pee, you gotta poop, you gotta sleep, you gotta move, you gotta eat.

ETA - forgot one!

Motivated for what? I have very little motivation after 3pm and none after 5pm. Unless something is urgent, I am done. I commute a long time so I do have motivation to get home because I am hungry and tired. That’s about it

If I do anything of importance after 5pm it’s because I must. If I don’t have to, I don’t do much

I agree with the above posters that it is unrealistic to expect the same level of motivation for physical activity all day long.

What is your chronotype?

Are you familiar with the concept of "rest and digest"?

I mean motivation for weight loss. I have 40 pounds to lose and I have had the same 40 pounds to lose for a year. No more. No less. Just stuck at 40 pounds. Lately Iike in the last week, I've just quit eating around 4PM. I have had issues before with night time hunger. Not sure whats different now. I just want to get to sleep fast now I guess.

Why don't you table your weight loss plans and focus on muscle growth and definition instead? You will look and feel better even if the number of the scale doesn't change. A positive goal is easier to stay motivated for than a negative one.
