Your denial and excuses story

At your worst, did you see yourself as obese/unfit?
Nope. I was in denial. I didn't spend a long time in front of the mirror either so I knew... I just didn't acknowledge it.

What were your go to excuses to be that way?
I didn't really make excuses. I think I just really didn't care.

What popular myths were your go to?
In my head, I had tried to lose weight before only to gain all the weight back PLUS 30 pounds more so AT LEAST I could say that I tried, right?

At your worst, did you see yourself as obese/unfit?
Well, I am at my worst right now. "Starting over". And no. I still don't see myself as "obese". My BMI is currently 29.9. At 30, you are considered "obese". I don't know why I can't see it, but I guess I'm "obese" or may as well be.

What were your go to excuses to be that way?
"I'm tired". "I deserve a treat". "A lot of my family is built this way." "I don't want to starve". "Just this one time." "I look beautiful the way I am." "I'm too busy to lose weight". "I'm pretty healthy, so I don't need to lose weight." "I got to my goal weight before and I didn't feel any different or happier."
I probably have more, but this is what I can think of.

What popular myths were your go to?
Slow metabolism: which for me is untrue. I had it tested and I'm about average. A very small bit above average anyway.
I don't look as big as I am: yes: I do, I just don't know it yet.

Hopefully I can lose the weight for good this time. I'm fighting a really hard mental battle right now and it's good to type this all out. Got to get rid of my fat logic...
