Is it me??
I've always been fat for as long as I can remember. I've started to wonder (well I have been in denial cause its probably the case) if this affects my social life. In high school while I had a few good friends, I was never as important to anyone as they were to me. Now in college I thought things had changed and everything…

Why am I losing my drive to workout??
I've been going strong for almost 2 weeks now, but I'm at the point again where I always start to slack off on the exercise part! I have ZERO motivation to exercise!
