Irritated.....

You can't put yourself in another person's life and "assume" anything. Just be glad you've been able to "make time" in your own schedule and have also found the drive and determination to achieve your goals and skip the misplaced irritation. Surely you can be proud of yourself without being so judgmental of others. Congratulations on your hard work. Hope you enjoy the fruits of your labor.

A couple days ago I was talking to a friend about my weight loss and exercise routine. Their comment was "I wish I had the time to work out like you do". This really irritated me as I have to make time for my workouts. I go to the gym @ 4:30 AM 3 days a week and on my lunch hour 3 days a week and on weekends I either go to the gym or ride my bike, but I had to make changes in my lifestyle to fit this in. No matter what your situation is, you can make time for yourself, even if it means giving up something else.

That reminds me of my two sisters-in-law commenting on how much weight I've lost and they blaming their extra weight on stress. Excuse me? Because I have no stress? Riiiight.

Wow am I ever IMPRESSED with you! What amazing will power. You are so right you do have to make time for yourself and you do need to make your own health a priority. But as I have learned, having been at the bottom and in denial myself, you can come up with all kinds of excuses and reasons not to do what you need to do. The best you can hope for is that you will inspire them to get motivated and take care of themselves. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

I get the same comments .... and yes, it feels irritating.

This irritates me too. I had a coworker say that to me. I'm not able to make time every day, but most days I choose my 20 minute Jillian Michaels over watching one more t.v. show that don't need to watch.

That's sad that that's the biggest problem with a lot of people, prioritizing. So many people say they don't have time, but it's because they're not willing to substitute exercise for an unnecessary activity like watching tv. I was talking to a friend of mine, though, about this very topic and he said that many people are not ready to make the step and therefore make excuses as to why they can't do it. People have to have an epiphany type realiztion about themselves and their health before they can really be ready to make those permanent changes in their own lives. Until they do, they will always say everyone else has more time, less stress, better metabolism, whatever, to make the fact that they aren't making healthy choices in their life more justafiable to themselves. You just made the realizatin sooner, and maybe your progress and success can be an inspiration to those you care about

someone once commented that if I had time to play on the computer for 2 hours every day, he didn't want to hear me complain I had no time to exercise.

I think of him when I close the case and go for a walk!!!
