Step 27

Step 27 …..Excuses , excuses……
Life is full of excuses. When we are changing our life styles we may get the urge to make excuses why we can’t do this or that.
Is it easy to simply stop making excuses? By no means - it is challenging! You have those cravings for all the wrong foods. You need a have a strong mindset! Read step 12 and 14.
Sometimes we blame our weight on a family member, like an overweight aunt or parents. Come on, it’s not their fault! The real reason is because we are eating too much of wrong food and doing no exercise. We need to face this to loose weight and to do something about it! You can do it!
There is the….. If only excuse also.
One big one I used to say along time ago was it is a health problem. That was a lie and a cover-up for the real reason.
What are your excuses? These were mine!
I just don’t have time to buy the groceries that I need to eat. It takes to long to read the labels.
I can’t find the time to exercise!
I don’t have time to cook a nice healthy meal.
Then there are the maybes!
Maybe tomorrow I will start my diet. [When is tomorrow?]
Maybe I will start exercising later. [Later?]
These are the top 7 excuses from an article.
1. "I Hate Exercise"
2. "I Don't Have Time to Eat Healthy"
3. "I Cannot Live Without Chocolate / Ice Cream"
4. "I Don't / Can't Cook"
5. "I Don't Have the Support of Family & Friends"
6. "I Eat Out All the Time"
7. "I Have to Cook Meals for my Family"
These all sound familiar to me! How about you?
All these are excuses and I have used each and every one of these!
So let’s quit making the excuses and saying the maybes and get going to make a better choice to live the rest of your life healthy, fit and energetic!
You know I have time to do this. I don’t have to make excuses. I want to healthy! I want to be an active, productive person!
We have time for other things in life, why not time for one of the most important reasons, you! It is your choice and that is something you have control over.
Keep on keeping on……making better choices for a healthier you!
