    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??

    I saw a documentary about obese children once. This kid was very obese and suffering health complications at the age of FOUR. His parents' excuse for giving him nothing but junk food was that he'd throw a tantrum if they didn't. Parents of the year, right there.

    "I don't have time to eat better" is the one i dislike more then anything, and actually was arguing with someone who told me that yesterday. The conversations always start with why they would like to do something but wont.

    "I can't go over my data plan on my phone. MFP will use it all up" - My friend a few weeks after asking me to help her set up MFP and show her how to use it.

    Well then cut down your time on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, YouTube, etc.

    Mine all fall into a black hole somewhere, (Mostly when the boys do the dishes. I don't know how they lose things that have always had the same home...)

    It's too hard... it is hard to lose weight, it's also hard to maintain and hard to be fat, choose your hard.

    I may put that on a t-shirt. Very nice.

    "I'm on my period"


    EDIT:whoops kind of went with excuses for not eating healthy & working out :S

    Hey - that one is legit! You should see the amount of chocolate and steak I eat those days.

    Completely agree! Exercise helps, but I physically cannot go without eating more calories or I am like a demon :laugh:

    "But I'm a vegetarian."
    Yeah, vegetarians are suppose to eat vegetables, not pasta covered in HFCS.

    I don't know why nor I care why people don't eat healthy, but my own excuse for not being able to lose weight is I am a big eater. Does this count?

    Why? Vegetarians who don't eat grains (and only veggies? Miserable!) can be at risk for not getting enough aminos.

    My next excuse is that someone on MFP made me really want some pasta covered in HFCS and just HFCS. :angry:

    "I can't afford the food"

    Here's a thought....if you ate the appropriate amount of food for your body instead of 4 full on extra value meals, you could probably afford it.

    Am I the only one who feel this thread a bit...off? Whiners are gonna be whiners. But who are we to complain about them? maybe a bit judgemental? maybe those sound like excuse to you but reality to them? who knows so who cares...

    Co-worker (struggling with her weight):
    "America is fat because people can't walk anywhere without being afraid of getting mugged, raped or killed." When someone tried to argue with her, telling her that is just an excuse to not go for a jog outside, she replied with, "it's not an excuse at all! Especially for a woman like me..."

    Same co-worker:
    I asked her to climb stairs with me during our breaks. After taking the stairs with me one time, she told me climbing stairs hurts her knees so it must be bad for her. She stopped completely afterwards.

    Another time, I told her I rarely go to fast food restaurants and she told me I was deprived of American food.

    She sees me eating yogurt and starts commenting that she'd rather have "real" food.

    :indifferent:
