lousy excuses

what is the lousiest excuse you have made to either skip a workout or cheat on your diet?

i'll start it off: i can eat this tiramisu because i am still sore from working out 2 days ago.

I use this one all the time.....

It's okay, I'm not re-startign my diet until Monday so I can eat what I want now.

"This one day of bad eating isn't going to kill me", which leads to another day, and another, and another...

im going out to dinner tonight so why stay on program for the rest of the day

I'm depressed and eating this candy bar will make me feel better. [of course, in the end, it only makes me feel worse.]

I've had some bad news - eating this whole tub of ice cream will make it better.

I'm starting a diet tomorrow, so I'd better eat all the junk food in the house, and/or go out and get a takeaway as I won't be having one for a while.

First excuse happens in the shop: "I'm buying these (chocolates, cheese puffs) as a standby for spontaneous guests. I'm not going to eat them this time."
Second excuse happens later that same evening: "Well, I have enough calories left to eat one serving of that guest food, so why not?"

What actually happens? I eat all 7 or 8 servings that night, or at best by the end of the next day.

That "last supper" mentality is a real diet killer. Instead of saying "I won't get to eat this junk food for a while because I'm starting a diet" say "I'm going to start eating healthy and eat these junk foods in moderation or as special treats"

"even though i keep trying, i'm not noticing much difference. i must be cursed to look like the rest of the women in my family-no matter what i do or don't do..."

Wow, 11:21 am poster, that could be me!!

Wednesday, August 23, 2006, 12:07 PM

I'm starting my diet tomorrow so I should eat ALL this junk food today so it's not here tomorrow.

i've got to get these _______ (cookies, chips, ice cream, etc) out of the house, but i hate to waste it. i'll just eat it instead. then it won't be there to tempt me anymore.

i want a man who loves me even though i plan to lose weight. what if i meet a guy and then gain weight back? it's beter to meet someone while i'm heavy and then lose some pounds.

I'll do my workout later-when I get home from work; I want to sleep in. Then after work, I just have this one more thing to do before I work out. then after that "one more thing," it's too late, I won't sleep if I work out now.

Wednesday, August 23, 2006, 2:09 PM

I already ate 5 pieces of ____. I may as well finish the whole box.

Wednesday, August 23, 2006, 2:21 PM

Thanks 2:09. That's me to a tee, and I just did my worlout in your honour!

Wednesday, August 23, 2006, 2:47 PM

I need sleep to function at work the next day - my workout can't be allowed to interfere with making a living.

Wednesday, August 23, 2006, 2:51 PM

I'm glad I could inspire, you, 2:47 poster! Hopefully it'll do the same for me in about an hour!

Wednesday, August 23, 2006, 4:03 PM

I'm not a bad person, I deserve to treat myself nicely! If I want to have a slice of cake or take a break from the gym, I should allow myself to do it.

Wednesday, August 23, 2006, 4:44 PM

I'm tired. I just want to eat what I want to eat and relax.

Wednesday, August 23, 2006, 6:10 PM

Wow! Pudding with half the calories! Great, now I can have two servings!

5:08, yep, I have SO done that.
