I find it hard to stay motivated too, so I sympathize as well. And yes, people can be jerks sometimes. That was not nice of them and very immature behavior for college students. Shaz's suggestions are good. Perhaps try to come up with a regimen that is reasonable for you that you know is achievable -- like exercise 2-3 times per week, pick the days and times and stick to it. A good way that I did this was to buy a calendar and mark the days I was meant to exercise, then cross them off when I did. You can try to cut out the more fattening foods but not starve yourself and reward yourself with a now and again treat. Dieting is hard, but you can do it in time, especially when coupled with exercise. Just do what you think is achievable, and you will be successful. Best wishes. ((((hugs))))
