I appreciate your difficulties but have always wondered at our lack of support for preventative measures as a society here in Australia and possibly worldwide.

Would a personal trainer or paid or not training buddy or something of the sort help your motivation?

It's a good question. I could see it working for some people (accountability, companionship) but at least for me, one of my parents is a certified PT and while she has helped a bit, the problem is just more deeply rooted than that unfortunately, at least for me.

But, again, everyone's experiences are different.
