Weight Loss Excuses Are Plentiful
Around my town, the local hospital was having a twelve week biggest loser contest
. A few of my patients were going to participate in the program. Two of the girls decided they would fare better if they exercised together at the local gym. Diligently every morning at 5am they would go to the gym and work out an hour before heading to work and the results were starting to show. The loss was about 6-10 pounds the first month and a little less the last 2 months of the curriculum. But all in all, these two girls had done well. Now the structured program was over and the weight loss stopped.
When I saw one of the girls who had participated in the weight loss contest, I noticed she again looked the same. I asked her how the weight loss was going and she stated "awful." She had gained back every pound and was at the same weight as before. I asked her what happened and she said "Her and her friend could not afford the gym and they had stopped their exercise routine." "Why would that slow you down?" I asked and was amazed at the excuses which poured out of her mouth for my every suggestion.
Everyday, patients give me excuses for their extra 50-100 pounds. I told the gal that dieting didn't have to be expensive. "What about power walking in the mornings since the weather has warmed up?" I asked. "Well, we did walk once, but it wasn't fun." She said. "What about getting together and performing the multiple exercise dvds you have?" I asked. "We were thinking about starting them." She said and the list went on. Every time I made a proposal, she had another reason why she couldn't lose weight. This gal had conceded to being overweight probably the rest of her life.
No one said dieting was an easy task, but it must be done for the benefit of one's health. Excuses do not belong in anyone's vocabulary. Excuses are another way of admitting failure in ones personal or business situation. Have you ever asked your friends questions about why something has or has not happened to them? They always have an excuse to why the task was not accomplished or are quick to blame someone else for their misfortunes. Why not put the blame where the blame lies?
Losing weight is not brain surgery. It is not difficult to eat fewer calories and start an exercise routine. Get off the couch, bypass the refrigerator and lose the excuses.
