I just can’t find the motivation

I know.  Wanting to be healthy like Dr Lewis says should be my motivation.  I know with spinal fusions that should be plenty.  I think I just don’t care about myself.  Maybe loosing weight I will care after I feel what it’s like to be that way agsin.
might not for money.   For motivation then.
