My advice, sit down and ask yourself why you train in the first place. If you don't have a good answer, then maybe it's time to reevaluate.
At this point, lay out some goals for yourself...give yourself a reason to train...something that will motivate you to continue training, gear or no gear.
If you assess your situation and come up with goals like "I want to look good" or "I want to get girls" these are probably not the kind of goals that are going to make you stick to it long term.
Nothing wrong with wanting to look good...anyone who trains regularly has this in their mind...but their has to be more IMO. If this was reason enough to train, we wouldn't have so many out of shape people walking the streets.
If your reason for training is simply to impress the opposite sex, again, not the best approach. Guys who train who make this aspect their top priority almost always flake out in the long run. Again, nothing wrong with wanting to look good, nothing wrong with wanting to look good so you have more appeal...but there has to be something there, some set purpose for yourself, no one else...if you're going to stick to this.
Last off, if you want motivation, you're going to have to find this yourself...no one can motivate someone else. Sure, certain people can aid in motivating you, I've got people in my life that are motivating factors for certain things and certain aspects in my own life...but these things are just motivational factors....they are not the core of what makes up my motivation to train.
