Why is it that I can make a million excuses as to why I cannot start a diet? I have all the good intentions on Monday each week for this to be the week to change my eating habits, and in turn my life, and I do it.....until 4pm when I am starving and in my kitchen where there is easy access to food. So I thought for a little laugh I would share some of the excuses I have used as to why I cannot start, or have started and only lasted days (alright, sometimes only minutes) in this life long journey. I hope you can see a little of yourself in them too.
1) It is Thursday! Who starts a diet on Thursday? In reality this can be any day of the week except for Monday, because for some reason Monday is THE day you have to start a diet, any other day just won't work.
2) I am going out for supper with everyone on Tuesday, so I mine as well not start on Monday because my diet will be ruined then. Then look to #1 as to why it is not started until next week.
3) I have my period this week so that won't work.
4) I am busy every night so I have no time to exercise.
5) It's my birthday and who can start then because there is cake, and I am NOT missing cake on my (or for that matter, any ones birthday)
6) I am going to start next week, I don't want to do it this week.
7) Too much stress in my life right now, I NEED chocolate (or any other comfort food) to make it through.
I know there are many more reasons I have given myself, and hope that one day soon I will stop making them, but until then, we always have Monday!
so true
