I want to be able to walk. Between knee injuries and the weight, I was becomming more and more crippled. So, either the weight goes or my indepence goes. Either the fat flies away for good or I can miss out on the rest of my life. Simple as.

my excuses are "i'm walking too slow". "i looks terrible in front of the mirror naked". "my mom keep nagging".

My Excuses:
~I bought a wedding dress 18 months ago, to be married in 3 months from now... it fit me then. Not now.
~I'm sick of saying "used to be"
~I'm sick of having an entire hall closet of "wish jeans"
~I'm sick of getting tired from carrying around this weight
~I'm sick of feeling like my future husband is getting shortchanged
~I'm sick of my mother calling it baby weight - my daughter's almost 3.
~And as the saying goes, i'm sick and tired of being sick and tired...

Heart disease runs in my family. My father was a daily runner, and died at 33.
I WILL BE AROUND FOR MY CHILDREN.

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

My reasons for not cheating are:

I want to make it through a full hiking trip.
I want to go swimming in public again.
I want to be able to wear a tank top and not worry about my arm fat.
I want my bra to stop finding the roll on my back.
I want my skinny face back.
I want to see my collar bone again... and find where at least one of my ribs are.
It may help my Fibromyalgia.
I want to quit hanging out of the top of my pants.
My wedding ring will eventually fit again!
I'm 23, and I want to feel 23, not 30.
I want to be able to look in the Junior secion of clothes again.
I want to fit in a pair of my old size 6 shorts!
I don't want to turn bright red, and try to hide when I see people I used to know.
I don't want my son to be embarrassed when he gets older to have a "FAT MOM".
I want people to call me skinny, and me act nonchalant and say "Oh, I need to lose a few pounds", just to irritate people.
Joking aside - I want my life back!

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

Greetings All,

I'm new to the bulletin board and truly need the support for this round of Atkins.

Here's my excuses...

I have enough of the cakes and pies on my thighs and don't need more.

Someone told me I favored a celebrity but was a "plump" version. (ugh, so not the spirit!)

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

Of course now we all want to know who you "favor" !!! Welcome to the boards...Come often...
My excuse ...or rather one of my reasons... is...I want to fit in my motorcycle pants this summer!!!

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

it's still very nice to see the lists growing of excuses to not eat junk.

i have a health reason/excuse. i've been reading some short articles lately about cancer and food choices. each one brings me back around to sugar. cancer feeds on sugar. i'm not yet 1 year from diagnosis so staying away from sugar is helping in my cancer fight.

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

Everyone's already stolen my reasons!!!

1.) Like jessciacope, I too am embarassed about my arm fat. I can't wear anything without sleeves!
2.) I want to stop my stretch marks from growing... I don't want to be a zebra.
3.) My feet are in constant pain because I'm on them 24/7. If I lose weight I'm sure it'll help relieve the pain.
4.) For once in my life, I want my body to be the one that turns a man's head. I want to be desired. I don't want to be the second choice girl anymore, or the fat friend!
5.) I want to be me and act how I want to act without being afraid of self conscious that people judge me on my weight.

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

My nightmare has always been that I might lose my luggage and I could never buy clothes to fit, and then what would I do? No one would be large enough to loan me anything. It would also be oh so nice to be able to pick up a pair of tights knowing that XL would actually fit cos XL aint extra large not by my standards anyway.
