I am too tired/sore/sick/stressed/upset to work out
I wil do it tomorrow
I am just being vain and I don't really need to work out
It's the weekend and I deserve to relax
I am just obsessing
TOM- my all time biggest cop out excuse ever. I use it waaaaay too much. TOM/PMS does not last for weeks, I don't have a disease, I am not paralyzed at TOM but I act like my life needs to stop and I can use it as an excuse for anything

I'm not sleeping well, so I'm too tired to get up at 5:45 and go swimming before work. I got there once this week.

So, I'm working out after work and during lunch when I can. I expect the insomnia will get better in a week or two. I just moved, so it's a little stressful at the moment.

"It's a special occasion." is the excuse I used the most. Only problem is that my definition of "special occasion" seems to get larger.

Hm... my main excuse for the last couple months: I'm in school so I have a million projects and classes I couldn't find the time for exercising. Then on my time off, I go and work 12 hr shifts. Busy Busy.

But my last day is today I'm going to have SOOOOO much time now for the next 4 months. Get ready for the skinny me! I hope...

As soon as I do (whatever) I will go to the gym. As soon as I do (that) I will go to the gym. As soon as I take care of (this) I will go to the gym. Now it's too crowded and I'm too tired. I promise to go tomorrow. Repeat.

after reading this i too can clam alot of the same excuses.

too tired to exercise after work or to much to do after work/ did not sleep well will not get up at 4 am an hour earlier to exercise/ it is too cold to go and do it outside.

there is always tomorrow.

it is the weekend if it is not fun i do not want to do it.and so on and so forth it seems it has turned into a big rinse, lather, repeat situation. i need to break that and reading and adding my own excuses will hopefully help not only me but everyone to over come them.

thankyou for starting this one it has been and eye opener for me.

Some of my classic excuses (which many of you have used too) are....

For not exercising:

* I'm really exhausted & need to sleep for that extra hour before getting up for work

* I'll do it tomorrow/after work/on Saturday, etc.

* Oops. I don't have time (because I spent it all on the internet or watching something on TV)

* I don't look too bad. I'm older, and it's okay not to look hot/attractive and let myself go a bit. I'll never look how I really want, so why try?

For eating junk:

* I've lost all this weight, so one little donut/cheeseburger/cookie/whatever won't hurt me. Well, I had one, so two is okay. I had two, so there goes my whole day! Might as well eat whatever I want all day!

* Didn't have time to pack my lunch for work

* It's a pain to pack my lunch. So much easier to just order out like everyone else, and go along with things.

* I just want to fit in. Being a picky eater, bringing my lunch, or choosing healthy things makes me stand out.

* I'll work out harder & cut back tomorrow to make up for it

* I deserve it/It tastes good!

My excuse: I'm too tired to (1) fix a decent meal or (2) excerise after work

before work I tell myself I don't want to tire myself out before work! I am pitiful!

[lizziep]

lets see...

i'm so sore from my last work out- i need to take a day-or two or three off to "heal"

i'm too tired after work to make dinner- lets just grab something on the way home.

i've been so good all week i deserve ____ (to sleep in instead of work out or whatever snack i want)

husband tries to tell me what to eat? Eff him! I'm going to the vending machine at work. That'll teach him to try to control me.

I thought of a few more:
*I've been stuck at my 15 lb weightloss for so long, I wan to give up.
*Everyone else is eating cake, why do I have to eat carrots.
*Well it isn't that bad....
*It costs too much
