As I have worked my way through each round of 12wbt I have come across and removed many Excuses that have held me back. The reason I keep coming back though is because I know as I transform ME I find new excuses that are holding me back from the last part of this weight loss journey.
So publicly I say my Excuses are:
It isn’t going to work anymore.
At this point, having lost so much weight I am probably going to fail anyway!
It is so hard now to make even the slightest difference.
Will loosing anymore weight really make me happier.
I enjoy chocolate, if it makes me happy why shouldn’t I eat it.
I have alleviated the excuses not to exercise! I joined a gym so money and weather a no longer an issue. I can fit the time in but it would be a darn sight easier if my husband got a job so that I could in fact figure out a routine for exercise.
I need to work out why I bloody cannot stop eating chocolate once I start. Is it something in the chocolate or is it something in me?
Family. Work. Illness.
Now of course some of this I have greater control over than other stuff but here we go with some solutions:
I guess I wont know if it is goiing to work if I dont even try
Working hard is not going to kill me, it will make me shocker!
Loosing more weight will not make me sadder!
I can eat chocolate, I just cant eat so damn much. Seriously do I have to gorge?
Stop thinking of myself as a failure
while there isn’t routines in this house I am going to Just Focus & Do It!
Find out what is in chocolate and start counting every calorie!
Menu plans a part of my life now
Routine and eat clean! If I get these down pat I willl be able to achieve the weight loss I am still trying to work out if I want.
And so I am starting to work through the preseason tasks. Excuses are what hold you back (from achieving anything in life really) and, even with solutions sometimes you still let your head take control and you slip back into ‘failure’ mode!
I wish I was further along than this.
