What excuse do you have......

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

So my hairdresser would quit trying to convince me to cut my hair shorter and shorter into a hair style I don't want because she tells me I now have no neck, and that ummmm... double chin doesn't help.

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

Wow. How did I miss this thread!!!

My excuse for not eating junk.........

I want to look good for me.
I want to look good for my wife.
I want to look good in front of people when I perform.
I don't ever want 'elastic - god I hate that word' in my trousers ever again.
I don't want to be afraid to take my shirt off in public
I don't want to scope out the 'chair that will fit me or I won't break' at family events ever again.
I don't want to come back here and say, 'I cheated' please forgive me.
I don't want the cute waitress' where I play to ever stop saying...'dang Scooter.....you're lookin' good, Karen better watch out!!' (ha-ha)
I don't ever want to look in the mirror again and say, why are you killing yourself!!!

What a great thread Jimmie. I think we need to always keep this alive. 'The never ending thread' for sure!!

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

i love going back through these posts ya'll are making. such good stuff! and some of them.... forgive me... are a bit funny, but oh so true!!!

i had a friend who was big and her husband was bigger! we all went to 6 flags and they wanted to ride this thing that took them way up in the air so you could see forever and beyond. they were over the weight limit to ride together and didn't want to go separately. THAT'S what i don't want to ever happen to me so it's another excuse to not eat junk.

thanks scooter!

• I don't want to step into an elevator and have everyone look for the maximum capacity sign.

I still look for the maximum capacity sign when I step into an elevator. Even alone.

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

hmmmm...lets see...
I am tired of wearing sweatshirt after sweatshirt just to cover myself up when i want to be wearing stylish form fitting clothes that i see everyone else wearing
I am tired of my uniform (i am in the navy) being tight every morning to the point where when i eat it is uncomfortable
I am tired of feeling guilty eating a mini sized candy and feeling like everyone is thinking "boy she sure doesn't need that"
I am tired of my mirror being the enemy
Yep, i am sure i could come up with some more but that is probably the top ones....

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

I want to live! Last night I watched this movie "Mystic Pizza". There was a girl getting married in one scene. She was dancing and plopped down next to a few ladies who were all obese and stuffing theirselves with cake. The girl looked at the women around her and it disturbed her as she had a cute little figure and you know she was imagining that it would be her after a few years.

When I saw that scene, I thought to myself I am the lady who sits with the other fat ladies eating cake. I was horrified!!! What an eye opener. I don't want to be like that. I love cake...but it doesn't love me. In fact cake is trying to take my life.

Thats my excuse for not eating junk. I will loose this weight!! Stand back and watch me melt!!!!!

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

I cheated last week and had some pasta salad and some ice cream at a party. I didn't over eat by any means. When I weighed the next day it says I was up 5 pounds. We have a bet at work to lose 20 pounds by the last day of school or we had to put $100 into a pot for the people who lost. Seeing the gain with a little intake of the bad stuff was an excuse enough for me to not lose $100 for a little ice cream.

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

i love this thread! everyone has a little bit to add and there's always something new... a new reason to stay the course and keep the junk away!

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

my excuse was i couldn't tie my shoes without inhaling and holding my breath.

ME TOO!!

I'm also tired of worrying if the safety bar on the roller coaster will fit over me.
I'm tired of squeezing into the seats on planes.
I'm tired of breaking chairs (5 that I can recall)
I want my brother and sisters to follow my lead.
I'm tired of making jokes about my weight to cover how embarrassed I am by it.

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

all good reasons, greg!

btw, no more inhaling to tie shoes for me! yippee!!!!

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

This thread rocks!! I can think of thousands, but here are just a few!

*I want to be able to play with my kids, and not be totally winded
*I want to be able to go mountain biking with my fiance without him laughing so hard at me and the hills ( it IS pretty darn funny though )
*I want to stop looking like a lesbian ( not bashing here ) when a skinny chick walks by because Im checkin out her stuff thinking " if i could only look like that "
*I want to be the thin sister for once
*I want people to stop saying " you have such a pretty face "
*I want to be able to go in the pool without taking my clothes off as fast as I can and diving right in...I want to come out of that pool Bo Derek style
*I want to be able to get out of the car, bend over, walk, run, sit...ect...without tugging at my clothes
*I want to be able to sit on the couch without a pillow covering my muffin top gut

Geesh I didnt know I had all that...Guess we all have a lot of reasons to stay on this!

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

Ever since my daughter was old enough to carry on a conversation, she didn't recognize me in my wedding photos (120-125lbs) - I want her to know that's really her mommy.

I want to enjoy my kids, go places and feel comfortable, not be the fat mom.

I want to stop having to tug on my shirt all the time.

I want to bend down and actually tie my sneakers instead of just putting my feet in already tied shoes.

I never want to hear my husband say "You're not that fat" or "Wow, you weigh a lot more than I do" ever again.

I never want to hear my friends say that I don't look like I have that much weight to lose just to try and make me feel better.

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

all good reasons! forgive me... i had to giggle at some of those. lol

some i had not read before so you can see, everybody has different reasons for keeping steady.
