Weight loss excuses

After reading forums, it looks as though most people have tried to lose weight multiple times, so it got me thinking....What excuse have you used to tell yourself you can't lose weight?????

Mine is being hypothyroid! I managed to lose my baby weight after my first no problem, but after my second, I was not as determined and motivated and didn't really want to put in much effort. But instead of recognizing that, I used my hypothyroid as my excuse. Now that I've started MFP and lost 14lbs in 7 weeks, I know "hypo" was my excuse and I didn't put in the effort that was needed!

GO.....

I think the biggest is when you are over weight most of your life(me)and that is the self image that you associate yourself with and as a result you somewhat reject change because it means changing who you are, which is difficult to do.

My social life. I tell myself it's friends' fault because we go out for dinner/drinks frequently. They order off the light menu and exercise portion control. I use eating out as an excuse to "splurge" since I cook healthy at home. But when I'm "splurging" 4-5 times a week, it prevents me from losing weight, even with a good exercise regimen.
