about

When in the presence, of the essence, of a true friend,
All bad feelings aught be repealing by the days end.

When thoughts discussed with one In close trust, come to pass in open daylight,
One cannot submit a thought pessimist, and truly his heart be in utter delight.

If problem be, and it apply to me, then my friend, he listens.
When help he can, to lend one hand, he will come no matter long distance.

I cannot think of better ways, to spend all my happy days, then in range,
Of one to whom my heart belongs, and we in glorious song, we do make our way.

How can I get motivated to start getting in shape and eating right? I don't have a lot of time to work out outside of school, but I play lacrosse, and I have practice 2 hours everyday so that gives me a pretty good work out. But I still overeat, and I don't know what it'll take to finally make the decision to stop it. Nothing seems to get me going. Any ideas?

well speaking as a male who was previously overweight, and overate, i would say the biggest thing that motivated me was a real want to not only see my grandchildren but be able to play with them, the same way i play with the kids i babysit. i think that was my main goal in loosing weight. and honestly it was not as hard as i thought i was. all i did was stop eating to the point of being full. i didnt starve. but i also started making myself get up in the morning and stretch. one year ago i was the fatt kid in my class, now i'm still big, but i am so much more flexible and i can even do a backbend. you know the thing the cheerleaders do. yea, i was 5'9 and 250lb, now i'm 220 and 5'10, and flexible. your right the biggest thing is motivation. and i hope i've given a little to you.
