I think I can relate to what most peopler have already posted. I'm very lazy and I find it hard to push myself to do exercise, but I am going tot he gym and going swimming but I am finding it tough lol xD.
Also tend to bringe eat at night...that's when I feel like I could eat anything and everything....usually I have it under control because I go to the gym at the time I would normally eat so sometimes I can stop it.
Also - I am also comfortable being "invisible" I kind of like it like that xD.
My parents kind of don't help with the situation sometimes when they buy foods they know I will eat but are bad for me...I end up eating them anyway but I try to make sure I go to the gym as well to even it out.
I went on away for 2 weeks to spain and because I wasn't doing intense activities - I was doing swimming but it wasn't enough - because I put on like 4lb...I have shifted most of it now...I think but ugh..it's annoying.

What's holding me back is my pure lazyness really. I'm not really a motivated person. Just look at me in school, lol. Anyway, I ust need some sort of real motivation to make me get up and lose 40 or so lbs that I need to. That high number scares me as well. 40 or 50 lbs is a lot of weight to lose for me and I really want it to be gone in a year, but I don't want it to be unhealthy..

What's holding me back, is I need to exercise more. And cut back on the calorie intake.
Just recently, I have decided to get serious. I used to cry looking at myself in the mirror, and I would always over-eat, feeling fat, and just go to bed-afterwards, miserable. But then, I realized that only I could get myself through this. And I didn't want random people I didn't know to keep calling me fat. I don't enjoy it, and since I'm going to a new school, I want to come back in high school and rub it in all of their faces. (the ones that hurt me emotionally.)
I have an athlete's body, and the things I eat are being stored as energy. It's forcing me to exercise. but the problem is that, my parent's leave me at home while they're at work, and I can't go outside for jogs or walking. And when they are home, they won't take me anywhere.
Fortunately, I have me an exercise bike! ....but it's hard to get myself to ride it. I usually stay up past midnight, when you have that spark of tired energy, when you're too tired to sleep. I turn off the lights, mute the tv, put the caption on, and just ride for hours. And that's only once every week. So, I need to buckle down, and make sure I exercise more.

I've got a lot holding me back. I have no transportation as my parents hate taking me anywhere (especially gyms, they may even find it offensive that I want to lose weight), in the summers it's over 100 degrees here so walkings out in the day time, my family (of 4) goes through 2 12 packs of soda A DAY!!! They refuse to buy me juice saying kool-aid is good enough. We're a very low income family so I can't afford to cook personal meals and they love to eat pasta and fried foods. In the evenings no one wants to walk with me and it gets lonely and scary in the dark.
Mainly it's lack of support at home. My parents' and sister's exercise is the all encompassing search for the remote and the horrible task of walking from the couch to the fridge. No one wants to walk with me, I'd walk in the heat but I don't have anything to carry large amounts of water in..plus I hate being alone. gonk
P.S. This is worse for them than me, my Dad is diabetic (he drinks diet-sodas to escape the ultra high sugar, but we all know those are just as bad) and my Mom is pre-diabetic and has a hormonal imbalance. My sister has the same hormonal imbalance and is starting to become insulin resistant like I am.
P.S.S I have a bone deformity from the thigh bone down. My thigh twists, then I have knock knees with little to no cartilage in them, then flat feet. I used to walk with my feet turned out, but trained myself not to as it added to the pain in my knees. I have been insulin resistant for going on 5 years, and have been trying to save myself from all of this for the past 2.
