Over the course of the last few weeks, I have been sent emails, instant messages and had conversations with folks who are tired of making excuses for why they have lived a less than healthy lifestyle. As someone who has had a similar problem in the past, I can honestly tell you that you have to look at why you are making excuses. If you constantly eat unhealthy, do you consume it because it's easy, inexpensive or you don't know how to cook or plan meals? If you chose not to exercise, is it because you can't afford a gym, you don't like doing it, or you need encouragement and support? Take a look at the reasons as to why you are not achieving your goals and develop a plan to change it.
Regardless of what your excuse is, please know that there is no better time to start living a healthier lifestyle than today. Start with small changes as they will add up over time. Enlist the help of family and friends to support you on your journey and know that I am here to offer help and encouragement. You can do it!
Here is a little humor to start your weekend. I hope you enjoy The Top 10 Diet Excuses.
* But the doughnut was calling my name.
* But it was my birthday, so I had to eat the whole cake.
* I had to get the bitter taste out of my mouth from eating the so-called dish,
so I had an ice cream.
* If you eat something and no one sees you eat it, it has no calories.
* If you drink a diet soda with a candy bar, the calories in the candy bar are canceled out by the diet soda.
* If you fatten up everyone else around you, then you look thinner.
* Cookie pieces contain no fat -- the process of breaking causes fat leakage.
* Things licked off knives and spoons have no calories if you are in the process of preparing something. Examples are peanut butter on a knife making a sandwich and ice cream on a spoon making a sundae.
* Only eat things that have been broken into pieces; that way, all the calories fall out.
* Chocolate is a vegetable. How, you ask? Chocolate is derived from cacao beans. Bean = vegetable. Sugar is derived from either sugar CANE or sugar BEETS. Both are plants, which places them in the vegetable category. Thus, chocolate is a vegetable.
