Habit should become part of you, not just an automatic job your body do with no thinking. You have to see that doing something is leading you closer to your goal. What was your reason to go to the gym? I guess it was good posture. It's probably ok, but there are days when we just don't care about our posture or our look and then we stop working out for a few days and our posture is still good. So we forget how we got all those muscles pumped up and quit going to the gym.
but my reason for working out is to feel more energized and healthier. And because energy and health are things we need in our whole life, not just in our youth i feel much more motivated than i was when going to gym just to be able to pick up some girls on the beach.
I guess behind habits are our reasons to have that habit. When we do something that we want to do as habit our brain is filled with chemicals of positive emotions. And human body is addicted to positive emotions. The main thing you should try is to find emotion that will keep you satisfied all the time, not just partialy. It works for me.
