25 Relatable Quotes That Perfectly Describe The Struggle Of Trying To Lose Weight
When the inner battle between eating that Oreo or that protein bar kicks in.
With summer finally here, the struggle of trying to shed the weight of those few extra pounds leftover from hibernation season is real. You really want that cute little summer dress from last year to fit. You really want to look banging in that teeny red bikini you bought on sale from Target for your beach trip. Girl, I feel you!
Losing weight and keeping it off is super challenging — especially when you lack the motivation to kick start a healthy lifestyle. Motivation is key when it comes to exercise, diet and weight loss, but it's hard when those freshly baked donuts from Dunkin are only a quick car ride away.
Frankly, nobody on this planet has an easy time losing weight.

Remember you're not alone in the (seemingly constant) battle of weight loss — we all have had those weeks where we were certain we would wake up every morning at seven and go for a run. Did we run? No! Did we get a few extra hours of much needed rest? Heck yes!
