I am a smart, straightforward girl. I think the world needs more people like me. Ask me a question and you'll get the no B.S. answer, whether it will hurt your feelings or not. Not that I'm mean; I just have very little patience for delusion and fantasy.

Okay, I'm 21/f and have always struggled with my weight. I'm 5'5" and I weigh just under 12 stone (I think around 167 lbs). It doesn't help that i'm pretty muscular as I play sports. I'm the sort of girl who can lose weight really easily but can also put on weight equally as quickly. I know the easiest way for me to lose weight is to do a lot of exercise, as I can lose about 3 lbs a week as well as getting toned up. Problem is I have absolutely no motivation to do anything at all, let alone exercise. Also I've just been living off takeaways and junk food for the past two weeks which obviously isn't helping. I know I need to eat right but at the moment like I said I ahve no motivation, so can't be bothered to cook for myself.
I don't know how to get myself out of this slump! I know what I need to do, but I don't know how I can get my motivation levels up. The whole thing is making me really miserable. Please help. (link)

Based on your height, weight, and the fact that you play sports, you may not actually be overweight. Muscle weighs more than fat and the fact that you can lose weight quickly means that your metabolism is working well. Not everyone is made to look like Angelina Jolie, and the more women who take a stand and say, "This is the way I look; I'm healthy and beautiful," the less people will have unrealistic expectaions. As far as the junk food goes, try healthy replacements, like soy chips or dried fruit.

Good advice, but trust me I am overweight - I look fat for a start! :)
