I don't have any amusing excuses. I am very hard on myself and allow no excuses. I eat for comfort. Years ago, I gave up alcohol and smoking and food seems to have taken their place. I'm not saying that allowing myself no excuses keeps me on track, but when I go astray, I really beat myself up. At least I am not in denial. LOL.
My sister was always the smaller one and I was the bigger one. Now she's gained weight and is bigger, so it's the same as if I lost weight, right?
I'm pregnant and my body seems to keep the weight off easily, but I'm suppose to gain weight, so that means I can eat a ton of junk food even if it makes the scale go up for the wrong reasons.
I'm sick/husband is sick/toddler is sick.
Life is too stressful this week, I'll wait till things calm down to take on healthy eating/exercising.
But I have coupons for take-out! That's like saving money.
I'm doing so well this hour/day/week, I can have a treat!
I don't look that bad! I'd rather eat and enjoy it then get too skinny (five minutes after I finish what I'm eating, I COMPLETELY regret it!!)
I have other things going on in my life-I don't have to make it all about how I look/my health.
ugh-hate making these excuses, but there's something nice about posting them where people can see em! They really do sound so stupid typed out like that!
"One more cookie/cracker/chip isn't going to make a difference one way or the other since I've almost finished the whole package anyhow"
"If I died tomorrow, I would never known what [insert newest junk food here] tastes like!"
"You only live once!"
"If a suicide bomber blew up [insert fast food restaurant here] tomorrow, I'd never get to experience their new burger/sandwich/chicken fingers/burritos!"
"Global warming is a reality! I might as well enjoy what little time I have left before everything goes to **** in a hand-basket."
"Fat people can survive for much longer without food. Maybe I should just blow up again so I'll have a stockpile of flab to live off of when a disaster strikes."
"If a meteor hits the Earth, I'll regret not eating one last Angus Burger at McDonalds."
"Life sucks. Plus, I'm going to die anyway, so what difference does it make?"
I have been big my whole life.
I have tried and it didnt work.
I will start on Monday.
This is just how my body is suppossed to be.
I cant do it.
I dont know how to do it.
I dont want to do it.
I like food. I dont want to be hungry.
I could probably come up with my excuses all night long.!!!!!
Nobody's notice the X pounds I've lost, so what difference does it make?
(I find I sabotage myself with this EVERY time I go out to lunch with a certain group of very slim friends. Really, 50 pounds later, and they haven't noticed??)
I could quote so many of those excuses, here are a few that I have used lately:
* I'm breastfeeding, so I need to eat more calories.
* It's too hard to make two meals, I'll just cook this calorie-fest that my husband loves.
* It's just one cookie...oh, it's just two cookies...
* I walked a lot today so I deserve to eat this cookie.
During my numerous attempts to lose weight in the past, my sister and mom would send me pics of celebrities that lost weight (jennifer hudson, kelly osborne) and I would reply with "Well of course they're losing weight, they have personal trainers, a gym, packaged meals, no other obligations blah blah blah"
pretty ridiculous right?
Oh and the big boned comment was my fav hahaha I can't even count the number of times I've used that one!
