I've had my share of ups-and-downs (don't we all) and I'm more than willing enough to help those that ask.
In fair warning: I won't give answers that are "gusshied with sprinkles on top" (or whatever things that that line follows). I will be blunt if the situation calls for it...either you take the honest words or brush it off and go search for a lie~ all in all, it's entirely your choice.
Advice is simply there for people to brood and consider over, not a forceful act.
So feel free to ask me whatever you wish to be answered and the advice shall slide over these keyboards~ ^-^

advice
Okay....
So when I was younger I did every sport under the sun. But now I am a teenager (16/f) and I found my true passion a few years ago: theatre! In fact, I'm not a fan of playing sports at all anymore.
The only problem is that I really am not happy with my body. I want to feel better about myself as far as being in good shape. But I'm not a big fan of physically activity so I can't motivate myself. I went to the gym this past winter with my friend and we did a lot of running and such which I was proud of. But then my spring schedule got busy with theatre rehearsals and I couldn't go anymore.
Now that summer is over, I just looked some pictures of my friends and I at the beach. Of course I am in a bikini and even though I am not one of the biggest people there, I still wish I was in shape and a little more toned rather than flabby. Most people say that I am "normal" or "average" but I want to be in shape and toned.
Does anybody have some suggestions of how I can motivate myself to go to the gym? Eating healthy is a problem. I've got a busy theatre schedule and often need those frozen dinner kind of things when I'm on the go. I do have time to eat healthy, I'm just not motivated to do it even though I want it so sad. I've had self esteem issues for awhile, but I still just feel like no matter what I won't notice the results.
Yeah, it's hard to push yourself to actually try and do physical activities, especially just by yourself. Just like the other advice below me said, you can rally up friends to go with you to the gym so that you feel more comfortable knowing that you have people to back you up.
But if you find times that your friend(s) can't come with you because their too busy, you can always ask for a personal trainer. Trust me, personal trainers are able to get you the motivation you need to work-out because that's their job, and those people do a fantastic job to help you out in the gym. Practically they'll be like your best friend while your in the gym because they are VERY friendly and have great personalities which can make you comfortable with them. Personal trainers teach you the basic stuff you need to get in shape and they really know how to help boost your self-esteem by giving you encouraging words.
And don' be afraid to ask them questions, such as what you can do to help maintain a healthy diet and such. Give it a try and see how it goes. I wish you the best and if you have any questions, feel free to email~ =3
(Rating: 3) really good advice, the only problem is that I can't afford a personal trainer. thank you though!
