I am constantly battling with myself in order to get things done. My way of getting round me and my resistance is to chop those things into bite size chunks. So for instance, I'm learning Polish right now. It's a pain in the ass and pretty tricky but I've got to do it. I know that I hate studying it so I go to a local cafe (where there a usually some attractive women) and I have a coffee for 30-45 mins. During that half an hour, I rote-learn some Polish. Two or three coffees a week and I've attained a couple of hours a week, which will get me where I need to be. Maybe for you, you could roll out of bed in the morning, tell yourself you are just going to walk to the shop or to the corner or somewhere pretty close. Tell yourself you are going straight back to bed and that you are not even going to wake up properly. You're only going to do it once a fortnight even. Put on your sweat pants and your music and walk. Maybe when you're out you'll feel ok to walk to the next corner. And faster. And so it goes. Ta ta for now. Hey Steve,

Trust me I know how you feel regarding the exercise. Last year I started out walking a mile each day. When I got into my second month of walking I added another 2 miles and this time I started race walking. Today I am up to 8 miles per day 4 in the morning and 4 at night. I know walking doesnt sound like much but I have went from a size 18 to a 14 in womens clothing. I have lost FOUR inches in my thighs alone and 3 in my upper arms. My blood sugar and blood fat levels are MUCH better and I feel better about myself. Try to do this with a friend its alot more fun that way.I know how it is to struggle with weight loss. I am like you and I also eat healthy but my weight does NOT want to leave but its def shifting around. The thing is even if you do NOT loss weight you ARE building muscle which burns fat.I wish you much success just keep plugging away. You can do it. : ) Hi Steve,
