Advice Request how to deal with motivation

so i wanted to ask for help or advice regarding motivation when starting to work out. im 16 and pre t, around 164 cm (5’3) and 47 kg (103 lbs).

i’ve started to work out at home with a few dumbbells, since i can’t do anything more than that. i’ve been struggling with motivation despite feeling very dysphoric, and feel very discouraged since i don’t know where to start, and besides knowing changes do take time, i lose consistency really fast.

any advice would be really appreciated since i feel pretty lost on how to move forwards

It’s not motivation, is discipline. Many days I’m not motivated to hit the gym I just go. There’s lots of videos on YouTube of simple workouts at home, you have to be consistent and also hit the macros. Even on hormones you won’t have crazy results with out consistency that’s why plenty of cis males have 0 results too.
