Reply from *Sarah*, Age 15 - 04/23/08 - IP#: 67.163.196.xxx its really hard to get motivated, but when it comes down to it, you can only motivate yourself. from my experience, at least, no one else is really going to motivate you. i tried here and there to stick to a routine but never really succeeded. now, ive finally been motivated enough to stick to a certain routine for about a month, which involves very mindful eating and 20-30 minutes of jogging EVERY day. yeah, jogging sucks, but i dont want to be looking fat on the beach and saying, shoot if only i jogged for a half hour a day back in spring. i mean, its really worth it, so just DO it. as soon as you get home from school just go DO it, no questions asked. good luck, hope to hear how your progress goes.
