I'm only 20 but self-motivation has gone down the toilet. I desperately want to be able to go to the beach next summer without fear of being criticized but, like I said, I just don't have the push. I was wondering if anyone had any simple pointers or exercises that don't require a gym pass? :o)

I just stand there and move my feet back and forth. Drives my husband crazy but oh well. I also put little notes around the house. Many of them are personal quotes from this site. I have found them very helpful. When I am about to eat, I stand in front of the mirror and grab my stomach. If I still feel like eating, I will eat in front of the mirror. Talk about being embarrassed with yourself!

Many people fail in this simply because they are too emberassed to ask for help and advice. I admire the courage you both have, but remember, there is no miracle, quick fix. Good eating habits, exercise, rest, and good nutritional supplements combined are the key. I lost 30 pounds earlier this year when I approached it this way instead of with fad diets. God Bless you both. I know you will find success as I did. Nutritionworks email: nspilbor@sc.rr.com
