I admit it; I'm a couch potato! I know that I am extremely likely to fall into a sedentary lifestyle like my mother. I love her and I hate to say this, but I cannot become like her. She is one of the most unhealthy people I know, mentally and physically. She is obsessed with candy, magazines, and buying things. She takes over 10 prescription medications daily and has had three surgeries to cure things that could be cured with a small amount of exercise and a moderately healthy diet. She cries and complains about how "ugly" and "fat" she is, (which she's not, she could lose a little weight but whatever) but she is absolutely miserable when she tries to "get better."

It hurts me so bad because she develops a new "problem" and rushes to a specialist every month. Not only does it run up doctor bills but the medication is making her delusional.

Lately I'm having a hard time avoiding sweets... and having an easy time avoiding exercise. I'm getting mad at myself.

I need to do something
