Quickly losing motivation for going to the gym

I’ve struggled with weight my whole life it constantly fluctuates. I go through phases of being physically active and not. I’ve been going to the gym on and off for the past few months. But I keep getting setbacks. Last month I was really sick for almost 2 weeks and had to miss the gym. This month I’ve been dealing with shoulder and neck pain and it’s been keeping me from going as well. I tried to go and do the elliptical without the arm workout but it still hurt my shoulder. I feel so defeated. I have weigh loss goals and want a flat stomach more than anything but my injuries are making it extremely difficult. I can’t do any of the ab exercises I used to because of it. I also get discouraged when I go to the gym and see people there in better shape than I am. I feel so self conscious. It’s hard not to compare myself to others. Ugh 😩 I wish I didn’t care so much and had more of an F it attitude

What is making you fat is all the fat you eat. That means MacDonalds type places, ice cream, cookies, potato chips, microwave dinners, etc.

@BigBulge I have a very healthy diet I don’t eat fast food or processed foods but still struggle with weight because of medical issues. This post is about my frustration with exercise motivation due to set backs because of being sick and injuries, not the foods I eat
