I can’t do cheat DAYS. I absolutely can wreck my whole week in one day without trying too hard. If I know I’m going to have a cheat meal or reward meal, whatever you want to call it, I just skip breakfast.
The key is not to give up when you do have a setback, because you will. It’s just one day.

The secret is to let a cheat day keep you on target long enough to where your devotion and dedication becomes solidified. After that you’ll go down to a cheat meal and after that you’ll only slightly splurge randomly.

Start with exercises that you enjoy, or don’t feel tedious, while you build up the habit. Once you make it a habit and have seen some progress, then broaden your workouts to include less enjoyable, but more beneficial movements.

Also not an expert, but I agree with this. I would recommend making it a part of your schedule as if it were a meeting.
In the past, I've worked out right after work. So, I knew (almost) every day when work was over, I was going to the gym as opposed to going home and I brought work-out clothes with me.
If you say to yourself, "I'll go whenever I feel like it" then you end up pushing it off and, likely, never going at all.

sound advice. only thing i would add and i tell people looking to make changes is two things
1. for exercise try to find something you enjoy. work that into your routine as much as you can. if you dont love weight training dont make that the primary go to for your exercise.
2. For diet get creative and learn some kitchen skills. eating chicken breast and broccoli everyday will get old fast and is not sustainable for most people. you can eat healthy and have tasty food.

Any time I don’t want to workout I tell myself: don’t be a bitch.
I don’t want to be a bitch.
I do try to start with small steps when trying something new instead of telling myself I'm going to make a ton of changes all at once.

It really is that simple. My brain can do some really creative shite to get out of working out, I mean fricking elaborate. But when you hear that noise tell yourself not to be a bitch.

Don't go 100% on day 1.
New comers want to run 5 miles, eat chicken and broccoli and do 28 sets on day 1.
They can't walk or move the next day and feel like crap from starving so they quit.
Take it slow. Mini goals to get to ultimate goal..
