Factors that get in the way:
- Unemployment - I feel like I should be looking for jobs ALL THE TIME.
- Working out for an hour will not be detrimental to your job hunt. If you don’t have a gym pass and are worried about costs, the YMCA has membership fees based on income.
- Depression - My body sitch seems so hopeless. I’m going to fail, so why start.
-I was on Prozac and crying in bed every single day. It was hard at first, and I still have off days (see: the day I trent Reznored this bitch.) but I was able to ween myself off of Prozac because working out made be feel *so* much better. And no, it isn’t hopeless. Do you have insulin resistance? I do. It makes my body store and create fat like there is an incoming apocolypse. If I can do it, so can you.
- Summer allergies - Makes it hard to breathe.
- I have a deviated septum, so I hear you on this one. I have no sage advice. Suck it up?
- Sweating - I HATE IT!!!!
- Sweating out the chemicals I don’t eat anymore, sweating out the depression, the anger, the frustration. It’s good for you.
- Fat - I have SO MUCH to lose (like 40-50lbs) that, again, I’m going to fail, so why even start.
- Of course you’re going to fail if you go into it with that attitude. And anyway, it didn’t take one day to put on that 40-50 pounds, and it won’t come off in a day, so don’t expect it to. I only lose about 1-1.5 pounds a week, and that’s with strict diet an exercise. Little accomplishments like getting into my old jeans (even though they are flared and ugly) is awesome.
In other words, just a couple of months ago, I had the same thoughts as you. It’s okay. You can do it. You know, if you want to.

I’ll be printing this out and taping it to my forehead.
Yeah, it’s the working out part that’s so hard for me.
