I want to lose weight. I really need to lose weight. I've been overweight for as long as I can remember, and it only has gotten worse since my arthritis started. At least before then I could work out and try, but once the pain started I could barely move. Finally, 10 years later and I have a diagnosis, medication, and most of my range of motion.
I look at pictures to motivate me, of women with the body that I want to have. These days it makes me want to cry, not try harder. I can persist for a few days, sometimes a week or longer. But eventually I get depressed again, and the motivation fades. I've been feeling badly lately, and I just can't get motivated to move. I've been eating poorly and I know I've gained weight. I want to get back into my workout routine, but I don't want to do anything. I try to look at pictures to motivate me, but they just make me sad. I don't know how to push myself to keep going.
