" Dear Jess, I feel really uncomfortable with my body. I just feel like I&amp;#039;m bigger than everyone else at school and that everyone is judging me. I&amp;#039;ve tried a lot of different workout plans, but I can never seem to lose weight! I end up getting depressed and binge eating. How can I get motivated to work out and be healthier? Best, Arlise Dear Arlise, I appreciate that you recognize the pressure lots of people feel. Understanding that you are not the only one who faces this is already a step in the right direction. The greatest thing you can do to help yourself is to recognize the beauty that is already inside you. Being healthy involves more than just weight. It is also how you treat yourself and others. Learning to love yourself the way you are is the healthiest workout you could ever do. As far as motivation, you must find that within yourself. Set small goals and give yourself little rewards when you achieve them, like a mani-pedi or a new shirt. Rewarding yourself can help associate working out with accomplishing a goal and make you feel good about doing it. Thus, helping you create a healthier lifestyle and a more confident mind. Blessings, Jess "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
