It's a psychological cycle

Many years ago I used to take a diet supplement that contained ephedrine and I really noticed a difference in my metabolism. I still have a bottle of that old stuff but I stopped taking it back when the FDA pulled all ephedrine containing products off the market. I have since tried a few different products but none give me that metabolic boost that I need to get my fat butt off the couch and doing something. I am really starting to think it is psychological. I big nasty psychological cycle that goes around and around. I feel better when I work out. However, getting the energy and proper mindset to get up and actually work out is hard. Therefore, I sit on the couch flipping through channels on the television, all the while complaining that there is nothing and and at the same time, not doing anything about it. When will they either develop the magic pill that either melts the fat off of me or makes me want to get off the couch?
