Excuses don’t get the job done

November 20th, 2009

Let’s run through the list of my top 10 excuses for not starting a diet:

1.) Let me eat (insert favorite bad-for-me food item here) just one more time before I have to give it up.

2.) I’m not ready yet.

3.) I don’t have the right foods in the kitchen or at work to support this change

4.) I’m having dinner with friends tomorrow night so will start after that.

5.) I lost a couple of pounds so I can eat what I want today.

6.) A co-worker brought a plate of cookies in so that’s ok.

7.) I got it at the health-food store so it must be ok to eat.

8.) Today will be an all-I-want-to-eat day before the diet.

9.) I already had that breakfast burrito so might as well not diet today.

10.) I had a bad day so deserve (insert favorite bad-for-me food item here)
