My SO and I are on different continents. I met him 2 years ago while I was studying for my Masters overseas and we had 7 months together before the relationship went long distance. We get to see each other about 4 times a year now. A lot of times I know people decide to just stop trying to look good when they're far apart from their SO, but we are both trying to get in shape now. It is difficult sometimes to stay focused or motivated but I have goal weights I want to try to be at before I see him again in 5 weeks.
