I am lacking motivation to work out today...

It's so frustrating. I used to be sooooo skinny. Then I let myself go. I never knew how easy it was to pack on the pounds and how hard it would be to lose weight. I wish someone warned me.

Well I decided, I hit my heaviest and I have to do something about it. I went from eating whatever, whenever to counting calories and I am pretty healthy eating-wise but now i am just super strict. I have never exercised- almost ever- and I have now worked out for the past 10 days straight (35-50 min workout dvds). I was so happy this is an accomplishment and I usually feel like the workout made a difference immediately afterwards! However, after 10 days of pushing myself hard- what do I get? I gained a pound! Not lost, not maintained but gained. Part of me feels like whats the point? I should be working out but now I'm having a pity party.

HELPPPPP
