I have a problem getting started when I work out. What I've found that works for me is--When I'm at home working out, I set an egg timer for 10 minutes and tell myself that I'll only work out for the 10 minutes and if I want to quit after the timer goes off I can. I don't think I've ever quit after the timer goes off, by then I'm into it. When I go to the gym, I just promise myself that I'll go, change and at least walk around and if I want to go home I can. That works for me too.
Hey, which article were you refering to about the SSRI and weight gain?
Thx,
laura
