    Motivation loss in college/with girlfriend

    It seems to happen me a lot, but i dont think its just me.

    When i go back to college, i get together with my college friends and seems to go into a faze of not eating properly, not training properly and just nor particulaly caring. I work so hard all summer and for months to look good for when i head back to college, then the minute i get back, my motivation goes....every year. This has to stop this year and will.

    Also i noticed with my now 2years gone ex girlfriend that when i was with her, my motivation wasnt great either, it seemed easier not to bother go to the gym and sure who have i to impress. recently i got a new girlfriend (i have dumped her though) and felt the same, didnt bother with the gym. maybe its because i thought sure i dont have to impress her anymore....i dont know.

    My point is, does this ever happen to you guys?

    Motivation dropped when I got back together with a serious gf. Not when I get a new one cause I know it won't last and I want all of her friends to want me lol.

    School motivates me aswell. I want people to stare at mr as I walk down the hall and every stare I get motivates me more. I'm an attractive guy and get looks from that but a nice body doubles it.

    I may sound like I'm lifting only for vanity reasons and I mostly am. Atleast I'm honest tho lol.

    You lose your motivation because you become to comftable. Loving the reasons why you lift stack

    You need to keep reminding yourself of who and what you want to be, stay thirsty!
