Friends & Family of the MFP Revolution...today's mini challenge for myself is EXCUSES!!! Today I will write out every excuse I have for not eating right, not exercising and not fully committing myself to change. On the other side of that list is REALITY, which is designed to seek and destroy every excuse listed. I urge you pull your excuses to the surface and destroy them one by one. That is all. Vice President Journet

So what are some of your excuses that you use?

Mine....

1. I am too tired to work out!!
2. If I eat bad today....I will just start fresh tomorrow until you are 20 lbs heavier into tomorrow.
3. I don't have the time to eat something healthy!!

Please share your excuses and lets DESTROY THEM ALL!!!

    1) Even if I get skinny I'll still have cankles, so what's the point?
    2) No-one else cares either way, so why should I?
    3) Isn't it just vain and shallow to want to conform? Yeah - in that case feck the rules and I'll have that cake.

    Honestly, what a shambles.

    1. I'm too old.
    2. I'm too sick
    3. I have to take meds that make me gain, so what's the point?
    4. Nobody wants to look at me anyway.
    5. I LOVE chocolate.
    6. A Very Personal one, that has it's roots in psychology


    BUT my motto is Don't Invent Excuses Today! So I've been slowly taking them and putting them under my foot and and squashing them like the roaches they are!


    Thanks for the reminder!

    My top excuses are too tired and no time. Both are hogwash, but they show up every day in some form.

    Excuse
    Reality

    The scale isn't moving why should I?
    It'll budge just keep working.
    Nobody has noticed anyway.
    This is for me!
    Calories are calories no matter the source.
    You are what you eat!

    1. I'll get up and workout right after this show... - I never do so do it now!
    2. Well, I already ate like crap today, what's one more thing? -It all adds up and makes me feel like crap at the end of the day
    3. I'm too tired -you can sleep when your dead!

    It is quicker to go through that drive thru than to make something healthy.

    1. I am in this alone, and if no one else cares how I look then why should I? ~ I feel awful even admitting this one! :embarassed: I take it out by logging in to MFP, reminding my self it is not about how I look as much as it is about how I feel and getting winded walking up a flight of stairs is not okay.

    2. Not tonight I have a headache ... no this is not something I am used to saying :bigsmile: I at least can take time for a slow walk with a water bottle to help clear my head, and work out at the same time.

    3. I don't want to eat those calories back, so I am not going to burn them! ~ I kicked this one in the (__Y__)! I don't NEED to eat my calories back. *shrugs* People can scream and hop up and down I don't care! If a doctor says I don't need to then hey why worry about what others say? :drinker:

    4. I don't have time! ~ It is worth making time. If it is a walk or a work out time, alone or with others, time set aside for my self says I am worth it! I need to remind my self that I am worth it just as much as I tell others the same thing. :smooched:

    So that is my top four ..... :ohwell: I feel kinda sheepish for admitting it, but hey this is why we are here ah? :blushing:
