I got sick pretty often....at least I caught every cold that went around. I always felt like maybe I needed to shed a few pounds, so I was never entirely confident and happy with my body. I made myself quit smoking, start working out regularly, lose 15 pounds, drink more water, and eat healthier. I didn't do it all at once. I think I woke up one day and realized how unhappy I was with my lifestyle. You never know what day is going to be your last. So everyday should be spent being happy. Yet, everyday I was spending feeling guilty for how I ate, or for how many cigarettes I smoked. That was my motivation then. My motivation now is feeling the difference in my life. I don't wake up with aches and pains anymore. I used to get sore from working out. Now I get sore if I don't work out! I exercise an hour a day 4 to 5 days a week. And it can be fun....you don't have to force yourself to run on a treadmill. Take up biking or rollerblading. Find somewhere to play sports. I joined my gym's volleyball team. Whenever you're having fun, you don't even notice. All these things...smoking, exercising, drinking...they are all just habits. You made the habits, and you can break the habits. You don't have to do it all at once. But one by one, you can look in the mirror and be proud of what you have accomplished. Admire your trim waistline, or the extra definition in your legs. Give it a month of healthy eating and exercising; you won't believe how much more alive you feel. You won't even want to go back to your old bad habits.
