Its not that working out/eating well sucks. its just that I can sympathize with the weight loss blues. A lot of the good feeling that comes with getting in shape is how it affects your psyche. You have to understand that working out alone isnt enough. You have to feel good mentally to feel good physically regardless of your body type or how fit you are. Some people have a more visual relationship with their emotions, being fit on the outside affects how they feel on the inside. Sometimes you dont want to wait for your outside to feel as good as the inside, or your having a bad day and you just want your goals to be met. Everyone can give you advice on how to get in shape, but half the time you feel like "I know I know, im just grumpy and I want it now!" There are alot of reasons to feel impatient about wanting to get in shape. All I was trying to say was that she isnt alone and that as long as she keeps with it and doesnt let that emotion go crazy then she will get there in time.
