    "BMI is stupid - I'm not obese.'

    I felt the same way until I read about a study that found most obese people think they are merely overweight. And most overweight people (i.e., me) think they are normal. Then I took a long look in the mirror, started pinching the fat on my body and realized that that much fat was not "normal."

    But nothing wakes you like your 5 year old saying, "Daddy, you're fat."

    I used most all of these! My favorites were...I'm big-boned (I really am, but I'm also fat!); I carry my weight well - nobody ever guessed I weighed what I do; and I loved the comparison thing - I'm slender compared to some people! My final biggie...I have a thyroid problem. I had actually found 3 different doctors so they could run blood work because I was SURE there must be something wrong with it! Nope, my thyroid is just fine! Now I'm facing the truth head on ;-)

    OH GOD YES! I always used "I'm so tired, I can make up for it tomorrow". Or...I just ate, I can't work out on a full stomach". Or the doozy, I'll start tomorrow, 1 day won't hurt.

    Anyone who is over weight has lied to themself, some of us call these excuses. Ex: It's too cold or too hot to go on that walk. I am just big boned. I will start tomorrow. No one cares about me why should I. These are just a few, come on guys and gals share some of the lies/excuses you have used in the past.



    I also always used "it's never worked anyways (after only a week I got this thought stuck in my head). I won't lose weight no matter what I do".

    I will never be able to keep it off so why even bother trying.

    Everyone in my family is big.

    I don't want to have to buy smaller clothes.....I can't afford it. (Like that is a good excuse to stay heavy)

    ALSO! I used to think because I was in the single digit clothing sizes that everything was okay. No it's not, sizes have changed and if you are 5'4, 160 lbs...that is OVERWEIGHT. It's definately not ok just because you can fit into a "size 8"... and they keep getting bigger every year!

    I wear a size 4 now and still think I should be smaller based on my height!

    "I'll start tomorrow morning."

    I still use it. Today I caught myself saying that: "Tomorrow morning I exercise."
    Sure... tomorrow morning I'll exercise AGAIN!

    1)Tomorrow I will be better.

    2)I will sometimes get so frustrated at having to eat healthy that I will just start eating like everyone else. I know I cant do that!!!

    3)I have been fat my whole life so I will feel so defeated that I just sometimes do what I shouldn't do. Pity Party basically.

    Wow! This is pretty much me in a nutshell.

    i'll start my diet on Monday....why did I always have to start on Monday? And if I screwed up on Tuesday, I would just wait till the next Monday to start again. Why? I used to think like this for smoking too.

    Oh that is soooo funny. I was the SAME way!! Like Monday was some magic stinkin' day. LOL

    Glad I am not alone. My other one was "I have a slow metabolism." (yeah, cause your fat butt did not get up and work at it to speed it up!!) LOL :laugh:

    Me to my mirror image: I am still working on losing the baby weight.

    Mirror image to me: Um, yeah, he's 10 now, time to stop using that excuse...
