I was the Queen of justifying

The first step (for me, anyway) to losing weight was realizing and admitting I have a problem. Now that I have admitted I have a problem I see how MUCH I played the justification game and straight out lied to myself. I was ridiculous.

Things like-
-I am not that bad (Insert name) is bigger than I am.
- It looks like I have a double chin because of how I was holding my head
- sleeveless shirts make my arms look fat.

I have faced the facts. Guys, I am fat. And now that I accept that I can work toward changing it.

So - what crazy things did you tell yourself? Or am I the only one?

    It doesn’t matter what you do you will always be fat. Go ahead you can’t lose any weight. It’s my life I live like I want to. Then life said oh hell no you’re not healthy and need pills, pills, pills. That was the turning point for me.

    “You will always be fat”
    I did that one, too. But it wasn’t my fault. It was my situation or hormones or something that made me the victim of it and not the cause of it.

    “I am short, it doesn’t take much extra weight to make me look fat”

    “You still have a nice shape.” Actually that was true up to a point. Still unhealthy though. “You’re still very strong and active.” That too was true up to a point. Grains of truth

    “You don’t want to be a stick”.

    Uhm. Well. I don’t want to be an Apple either. Perhaps somewhere in the middle?
