Why can't I get motivated?

I have snuck a peek here and there at the grandest of all health and life style change books, Fit for Life. I just have no motivation. I am in a classic catch 22 at this point. I'm depressed with my weight and really believe that my disgusting eating habits and sad lack of motivation when it comes to exercise are affecting my health. Yet since I am sluggish and depressed I can not seem to find the umph one needs to start a major life overhaul of the magnitude that I need.

Hi,

I came across your blog randomly while searching the web and it seems you and I are pretty similar! I too am Puerto Rican, and hit my top weight at 198 pounds a few months ago. I have since lost about ten pounds. I agree that frame of mind and depression play a major role in being able to lose weight (it seems the more you weigh, the sadder and less motivated you get, and the more you sit around and eat!) All I can say is best of luck and that baby steps is all it takes! (for me it was drinking ONLY water) I will be following your blog and I will keep you posted on my weight loss as well! Buena Suerte!
