It’s what I Do!

1)  I don’t have time to focus on an exercise/eating plan.

I’m sitting here, bored out of my brains wondering what I can possibly do today.  This is how I spend my down time.  Bored.  Daydreaming of chocolate and crisps when I’m not even hungry.  Boredom absolutely kills my motivation.  Something has got to be done about this.

2)  I don’t have money to buy healthy things.

What a load of crap this is!  Basically if I spend the money on the food items I need and stop spending money on other crap (like cigarettes!!! UGH.  But that’s another vice to be sorted out at another time) this would be a non-issue.  In fact, I’m making it a non-issue right now.

3)  I don’t want to offend my boyfriend by asking him to cook WW friendly items.

Uh, why not?  Why would he be offended?  OK, so he doesn’t like to cook that much and he does it for us because I get home so late from work.  Providing him a list of food values and their points would solve the problem.  He says he wants to support me.  I need to give him the opportunity to support me.

4)  I’m too old now to have a decent body.  I’ll probably not lose the weight anyway.  It’s not in the cards for me.

Now if this isn’t the biggest load of crap I don’t know what is.  Seriously.  Enough said.

5)  I’m embarrassed/too anxious/scared to go to the gym.

This is something that bugs the hell out of me.  WHY???  What on earth is the problem going to the gym?  I learned the last time around that exercise was absolutely CRUCIAL to my success.  If it’s just a gym thing then WHY don’t I go on my elliptical at home?  Really.  I’m quite ridiculous.

I’m sure there are more.  These are the ones off the top of my head though.

There are 387 days until I turn 40.  Surely I can take off at least 40 pounds by then.
