I always get bored (lazy/unmotivated/lose interest) around the 3 month mark and start fading out of lifting. done this 3 times now over the last 2 years. I get super disciplined, never miss a workout or meal for several months, then I gradually lose all will to go on. it starts to become meaningless and I start seeing the time I'm sinking into it, and I get this nihilistic attitude about it. how do I get through this bros?

used to have this problem. what ended the cycle for me is a workout buddy that had almost my exact work schedule and had similar starting lifts to myself. we've progressed at a similar rate and it's perfect motivation.

If you think lifting is boring you will NEVER make it

fuck
If you don't love lifting, it isn't for you. It shouldn't be a chore that you're forcing yourself to go through.

I just tell myself this is when it matters the most
its usually past these kind of hurdles that the benefits really start kicking, psychologically and mentally.

I meant psychologically and physically
Just do it.

I've always had that kind of personality. Thankfully I have enough hate of my body to overpower the boredom (which hasn't begun yet).

You just fucking do it
Jordan Peterson's videos about sacrificing your present for a brighter future. Not entirely sure which video exactly, but there is (at least) one where he talks about how, in order to experience positive emotion you must have 2 things: A goal, and the ability to see yourself moving towards that goal. It is not about achieving your goal, because we are in constant need of one in order to continue progressing. Therefore, if you set yourself a goal which is so supreme that it's going to take your entire life to accomplish, you can begin to live each day working towards attainment of that goal.
I've been watching that niggas videos in my free time for several months now and by god am I far better off for it.
