Hey krisjack,

This has been good advice. You will feel better about yourself when you lose weight. That's awesome. But be prepared for your brain to tell you "this won't work, it's too hard" and all that stuff. It's the primitive part saying ooo-discomfort-stop! But the smarter part of your brain is in command and knows it's worth the challenge an the pain to get better. And please do it for YOU, not the gf. The gf will come in time when you feel better about yourself, and you'll attract healthier ones.

Also, don't look to people like your sister for motivation. They may care about you, but they don't often know how to help. They say stuff that they think you need to hear but they're stuck in thinking about your situation only one way. Look to people who are doing what you're doing, and will help you along.
