    "I only eat like one meal a day I don't understand why I'm not losing weight" Shall we get into what this one meal consists of, also portions?

    "I'm too tired." Yeah, well so am I. I'm pregnant and working 12hr night shifts & also have hypothyroidism...still staying active! Even if it's just 20-30min or just walking, there's time for SOMETHING at least a few times a week!

    But the kids want candy, soda pop and potato chips. I have to buy them for the kids.

    YES! Why would you feed that crap to your kids?! Do you want obese children??

    But I ate salad all week long....yep, potato and macaroni salad.

    It's cheaper to eat out than it is to cook...in what universe?

    The only exercise I like to do is walks in the mountains, so I have to wait until next summer when we go to Alberta again.

    I'm not lucky like you. You have a good metabolism...sure I do....

    But I haven't eaten all day. I'm hungry.

    Why not instead of eating the entire bucket of chicken on the drive home to save some and eat some for breakfast for a change.

    "It is too hard to eat healthy" and "I don't like vegetables"

    The not liking veggies blows my mind - look, if you are hungry enough, you will eat them. Could not make it without carrots - they are part of every social event I go to.

    A little whining to get off my chest: I know it is none of my business and I should not be so judgmental but how is it that some folks can eat so much fast food/restaurant food? I look at some diaries - chick-fil-a, mcdonalds, sonic, burger king, taco bell, little caesars, olive garden, ruby tuesdays, etc etc etc. Every day. Especially some of the young folks. I must be sheltered but it really shocks me and makes me a bit sad. So much good food out there - just seems like a waste. And yes, from time to time I do eat fast food and do eat out at least once a week but I just cannot fathom eating it every day.

    "I hate cooking for one person". -Me

    I'm the same way. I love to cook, but don't want to go all out just for myself. I'm getting better at cooking more often, but still go out quite a bit, I just make health(ier) decisions and count my calories. And I have lost almost 60lbs from my heaviest!

    My spouse/significant other secretly wants me FAT so they sabotage me by buying me fattening foods and shove them down my throat, by force.

    My dog died.

    Seriously, that was me. I bought two cases of full-sized candy bars to hand out for Halloween. I was going to return them because I ended up handing out toys instead. Then my dog died. I ate both cases all by myself.

    "I got kicked out of weight watchers for bringing a live goat in for snack time."
    I want to meet the person who pulled off saying this with a straight face.

    "Healthy food is expensive."
