What excuse do you have......

[NETTY12]

Re: What excuse do you have......

My excuse for losing the weight is as follows:

I don't want to compare myself to others who can look and feel good about themselves
I don't want to be out of breath from climbing stairs
I don't want to tell my daughter I can't play with her because mommy is just lazy because I know later on my back and feet are going to hurt
I don't want to feel unhealthy
I don't want to feel unattractive and think that when there's another girl present my husband might have thoughts of wanting to be with her more than me
I don't want to go out in public and people judge me on how much I eat and what kinds of food I put in my mouth
I don't want my daughter to realize her mom is fat and hear fat jokes from kids and be embarrased by me
I'm tired of feeling trapped
I'm tired of not wanting to wear a bathing suit and enjoy being in my skin
I'm tired of not wanting to go out because I don't look good in anything
I'm tired of not wanting to go out because I'm going to fight with my husband because I'm jealous
I'm tired of not wanting to be in pictures anymore
I'm tired of not wanting to see old friends or go to places I know i'm going to bump into people because they are going to judge me

There may be plenty more reasons but thats enough and there are more reasons to want to do something versus just enjoying a moment of pizza or sweets, they are not worth it and speaking of

I'm tired of spending a majority of my "Spending" money on only foods that I enjoyed and not using that money to get my nails done! I never knew how expensive an eatting habit was! lol

Well, my excuses for NOT eating junk are as follows:

1. I am tired of wearing big, baggy T-shirts and Scrub tops all the time b/c it's more comfortable. I want to be comfortable in anything.

2. I want more energy.

3. I want to feel like getting up and putting make-up on and fixing my hair.

4. I want my children to be proud of me and learn by my examples.

5. I want my husband to be proud of me.

6. I want my confidence back.

Re: What excuse do you have......

Lots of great reasons so far, many of which I share. Here's some others to add:

I want to be able to fit better & more secure in those rollercoaster seats. I would hate to be denied a ride b/c I'm too big.

I want to be the epitome of good health if I am to have a career in the health care field.

On the catty side (yes, I know it's bad of me, but.....): I love the fact that I'm now much smaller & healthier than my DH's ex AND she KNOWS it!
