It is not easy though, even though i totally hate the way i look. I can never be motivated by anything for more than a couple hours. I just don't know how people get motivated or inspired to do anything.

Hello, I can't say I'm just like you but we are similar. Even if this intro doesn't sound at all like someone you can relate to- keep going..

I have never been really really overweight. BUT I am above average. If I wear the right clothes I can hide it and a lot of people say I'm not as bad as I say I am, however people who are truthful to me (close friends, my mom) say they have noticed my weight gain and I need to lose it.

I'm like you completely completely unmotivated. I'm a 22 year old female.. I should be the most fit I'll ever be.. I should have a flat stomach, etc. But that's not enough to make me care. I'm tired all the time. Last time when I was in a hurry with a girl friend that I thought was like me physically, I could not keep running like her- for a long time I was panting and dying after our run and she was fine..

I love last food. Sitting down with a bag of fast food on my couch is one my best "happy moments." I look forward to it if I know I'm going to do it.. its sad.

It's horrible, from reading that, you would imagine me as a much bigger girl, like I said I think I am 'bigger' than most but its not *that* bad, although its not good.
I'm worried with my lifestyle in a few years, my 30s, my 40s I will be awful. I am on the fence now really- if I gained a few pounds I think I will reach that point of being much more noticably overweight. Right now, I had a friend recently tell me looking at me straight ahead I look 'ok', looking at my sideways you can see my belly. And then I have other friends saying I am skinny and not chubby. And then my mom out of no where gasping "WOW your stomach is so big" in a non sarcastic/joke way. Its REALLY hard for me to figure out what to do. I KNOW I have extra fat- its just that some people say its not a big deal and some do.

I don't want to be admitting all this on a forum, but something has to shame me enough to lose weight. So far nothing yet. I'm the typical whiny girl about my weight, I can see how physically tired I get doing something like running, and I know at my age it shouldnt be like this.....

.... but then I go buy fast food and sit on my couch or bed all day after work. I can't find my motivation even though I hate my body and health too!
