Apathy

In the last two years I can't tell you how many times someone has said to me after hearing my life style and how I eat "I would rather be fat!" I will admit that it baffled me. A guy at school was eating a burger, fried chicken strips and French fries. A girl made a "heart disease" comment and he said "Hey, at least I will die happy."
I am the last person to say anything. I have told myself so many lies to justify my old eating habits.
In my personal training class at school, my teacher made a statement that I have been thinking about all week. She said "You don't just talk about eating right and write workouts, you have to inspire people to change their life, to get off their a**."
My question is, what inspires us to kick the apathy to the curb and make life changes?
I would like to say I have beaten apathy, but its still there. Every time I say to myself "You've come a long way, this is as good as it gets". I am copping out.
Anytime I say two college gym classes make up for working out at the gym, it's a lie. But, at the end of the day, I will fight my hardest to make sure my whole family and I eat healthy.
I remember the days of saying "it's too hard/expensive to eat healthy."

"Why try, I will never be skinny"

These attitudes took me from 240 my junior year of high school to 365.

These are lies we tell ourselves. Mono saturated fats and hydrounsaturated fats have been linked to heart disease and cancer. You won't die happy, you will die one of the most painful agonizing deaths you can imagine.

Apathy keeps us who we are and prevents us from being who we want to become


But can anyone inspire someone to put aside the apathy and become the person they were meant to be, or is it something they have to find within themselves?

I hope it can be inspired...
