Seems pretty straight forward... I'll stick to exercising even if some people think I"m nuts!! I'm doing this for me and a lot of people would secretly like to see you fail. It's easier for people to just do nothing about staying fit. It's easier to make excuses why we can't do something we need to do. It's easier to just sit on the couch, hide behind a bag of chips and think oh tomorrow I will start to exercise and watch what I eat.

All is not lost if your sitting on the couch. Just put down the chips, start moving and start fresh right this second. You can do it.. I did and so can you!!!
