Queen of Excuses
So I’ve realized that I come up with an excuse for everything. Moving from Portland to Boise has been my latest excuse to not watch what I eat like I normally would. This really irritates me. Why can I not hold myself accountable for what I put in my mouth?? I’m the only one responsible for my habits. And yet, time after time, excuses pour out. It seems like I don’t want to lose the weight if I’m not willing to put the effort in 100% of the time. I DO want to lose it, though. And desperately, I might add. So then why can’t I just take up all this wonderful support and advice and put it to action?? Does anyone else have this problem? I feel like I am continually failing and disappointing myself and my teammates. I hate this and am sick of it! Maybe instead of posting 5 different goals for the week I should have one - BE ACCOUNTABLE!!
Alot of people have the same problem. I had that same problem months back. I wanted to lose weight in the worst way. But, then again, I wasn’t doing anything about it either. Sometimes I think you just have to be angry about it or tired of it and you finally get serious about it. If you have the support of a team, and you have the knowledge of what to do and people have given you great advice, then it’s up to you to take it to the next step. Make a mini goal for yourself that says for 6 days you are gonna kick butt. You are going to eat right! You are going to get in some cardio! Just for 6 days. Focus only on that. Worry about next week when it gets here. You just have to dig deep inside you and find that person that you want to be. You have to find that voice within you that will say no to cravings and no to negative talk. You can do it.
I wanted to lose weight for awhile before I actually did something about it. It’s just so much easier not to work out than it is to get up in the morning and do it. But the reward of seeing those numbers goes down really does help. You are really close to your mini-goal, so tell yourself that you will reach it and set a timeline. Maybe 2 or 3 weeks. Once you get there, you’ll want to keep going. Good luck!
Yeah, I am so like that. I go on and on about wanting to lose weight and be healthy. Usually I do this while i’m sitting on my butt eating pizza!
Oh man, now pizza sounds good.
Let’s be serious about this together!
I hear ya. I had the hardest time getting my bum off the couch and finally do something about losing weight. Now I’m exercising 3+ times per week and going to weight Watchers. I’ve lost over 5 pounds in two weeks. I didn’t want to do it…but I NEEDED to be accountable to someone else and Weight Watchers is GREAT! Food no longer controls me. And this only after two and a half weeks! You should look into WW, it’s so worth it.
Even if you don’t, I wish you luck!
