Exercise gives you energy= BS!
At least for me (before anyone starts to chew me out) I always feel so tired and exhausted afterward, and irritable during. I hate being hot and sweaty.

I feel like I am going to go insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Ugh!!! For the last few months, I have been hanging around in the 240's I feel like I can not escape the 240lb mark. I feel like I am meant to be 240lbs+ forever.
