How do I get better at doing things for me?

Anonymous

One of my friends recently told me something that has really stuck in my head. We were talking about my unsuccessful attempts at losing weight, and she eventually said that she thinks the problem is that I need to get better at just doing things for me.

She "you need to learn how to be a little more selfish, because you aren't motivated to do things for you, but losing your own weight is something you have to do because you want to."

I think my friend is right, but I don't necessarily know what doing something for me looks like. How do I get better about this?
