		Have you stuck with a fitness program for
		two years or more in spite of yourself?

I am writing a magazine article about women who have overcome any of the
following excuses/barriers and have succeeded at maintaining at least a
maintenance level (3 times/week) exercise program:

1.  "I haven't got the time/energy."
2.  "Working out is boring."
3.  "There's no real need.  I look OK/I'm still young.  When the time comes,
	that I need it, I'll begin then."
4.  "Deep-rooted psychological barriers  (e.g., based on perpetuating a
	negative self-image).
5.  The on-again/off-again syndrome;  inability to persist (binging on
	exercise, then stopping).

If you have some insight and tips about working past these stumbling blocks
or any others, please call me:
