not realizing i need to make a change

[FullBodyReject]

i dont know how much u guys can help, but i really need it...i am overweight obviously, 5' 8'' and 175 (15 years), and ive tried to diet many times...but i dont have any motivation to diet because my weight doesnt really affect me very much in my everyday life...i have a lot of fun at school wit my friends and they dont make any comments about my looks, and only time i feel uncomfortable is if i look in the mirror next to my friends and notice how much fatter my face is compared to theirs...but then when i get home theres nothing making me want to diet anymore...i have never really realized that i DO need to make a change...it has never really become a huge issue even though i know i need to make a change...i guess i just dont know how to make a commitment...usually people make changes because of something someone said or something like that...but my weight isnt holding me back in any way...i am among the best in my pe class, im pretty good at basketball...and yet i fail to realize that i could be better...i have never actually visualized how i might look skinnier, because i have never been skinnier...just like how other people may say they want to be like they were in their 20's, well ive gone through my whole life being overweight, and i have never known the life of a skinny person...i dont know how to motivate myself without knowing what successes lie ahead of me...anybody have any advice for me?

Well you're not obese so I say just go on with your life without worrying about it too much. Just have fun with your friends, cut down the junk food, join an organized sport and see what happens. Maybe someday you'll get motivated. I was never overweight but one day I decided after college just to get fit and did it!
