There is one one way to get started: GET UP AND GET STARTED. I know that sounds harsh, but understand that I am in the process of losing 150 pounds!!! It has taken me YEARS to get motivated. Every time I tried to lose the weight, I would do it in order to find a man or look good in clothing. That is just plain nonsense. I did find a great man.. and he loves me for who I am.. overweight and all. You have to find the right reaason to get motivated. Finding a man, pleasing the one you have, in order to look good to other people are NOT legitamate reasons. Sure I want to look good, but thats not why I have finally gotten off the couch. I am motivated by one thing, primarily. I want to be a healthy mom to my 2 boys. PERIOD!!! I deserve to live inside a healthy body, and so do you. Look in the mirror and say to yourself: I CAN AND WILL DO THIS. I HAVE GOTTEN MYSELF INTO THIS MESS, AND I WILL GET MYSELF OUT!!!!! so join a gym, walk around your neighborhood, turn off the tv and get started!!! Every day wake up and say to that beautiful person in the mirror.. today I will choose to be healthy!! The weight will NOT come off any other way. Good luck and email me if you want!! ... sarah brook
