Motivation: Episode II
It is hard being your own cheerleader all the time. I do not have the benefit of a workout partner so its just me, myself, and I when I hot foot it to the gym. When it comes to working out and wanting to change my body I have only one person in my cheering section and that is me. My family, namely my sister and mother don’t and can’t really understand why I do it. They say things like , "When are you going to stop losing som much weight." They just don’t get the struggle. Most of the women I have dated don’t really get it either. They just see it as some obssession that has taken over my life. Of course I see it totally different. I have a goal and I am trying to achieve it but it takes effort and time. I just find it hard sometimes, to get the motivation to hit the gym when everyone else is saying "why bother?" or just nothing at all. Then I remember that I am not doing it for them. I am doing it for me. Its just tough sometimes.

Yes, it is tough sometimes when we feel like we’re alone on this journey. You have the right attitude though, you’re doing it for yourself and for your future family. That’s why bodyspace is so important, we can connect with others who understand what this is all about.

Dude I know how you feel. At first everybody is on your side because you finally are losing the weight and are looking good, but then when you start to love it and continue to better yourself they fall off your support train and just become the enemy. Don’t worry you will always have a lot of people like that just don’t stop thinking in your self.
