Motivation vanishes

Hello there, I'm a 17 year old High School student. I've been struggling with obesity since I was around 10 years old. My diet didn't change, my lifestyle didn't change, I just assume that my metabolism did. I will admit, I used to eat at fast food places often, but now that's just a luxury I enjoy from time to time. My parents cook meals with Olive oil. We don't often eat red meat. I drink sodas once a week. So why am I fat? Over the years I've adopted a very sedentary life style. Due to that, it is very difficult for me to exercise. Not just physically difficult, but psychologically as-well. I have been persuaded by my friends and family to lose weight a couple of times in my life, and I have seen results. But sadly, one way or another, I stop doing it. I don't know why. No, that's a lie. I do know why. I lack of self-motivation. It simply disappears when I'm actually doing something, and i'm TIRED OF IT. I'm tired of this person I've become. My personality falls beyond the restrictions this body I have lays upon me. I'm not emotionally troubled, I'm quite a normal person. I have friends, and I have high self-esteem. But there's just one point in which you can't ignore your problems. I'm very aware that I am capable of having diabetes at some point in my life, and I believe it's time to change that. You have no idea the countless times I've said these same exact words to myself, but this is the first time sharing it to someone, and I'm hoping that makes a difference.

As I said before I am 17 years old, I am 6'2, and I weight 286 pounds.

Once I go shopping(probably tomorrow), I will start my diet once again, and I will start exercising once again. But this time, I will take all of you with me.

Expect to hear more from me!
