you really have to have your own motivation. I lift because I like being strong and I enjoy seeing my body in the mirror every day. I lift because I try to better myself physically, emotionally, and intellectually. it's not hard for me to look at shitty food and say no. you're completely in control of yourself and your habits. the sooner you realize that you don't need an external catalyst to motivate you, the better off you'll be.

if you keep yourself motivated long enough to start seeing some results, then you can let that feeling ride and keep yourself going. does it feel good to be fat, or even chubby? do you feel good after eating like shit every day? a year from now, do you want to look back at what you've accomplished and be proud?
