Overcoming Weight Loss Excuses
In order to overcome your excuses for not losing weight, take these steps:
Overcoming excuses
- Why do you want to lose weight?
- Find out where you are now by checking your BMI calculation
- Identify your excuses
- Learn and apply strategies to beat your excuses
- Find and build on your strengths
- Never give up on yourself
Here are some details about each step.
Why do you want to lose weight?
Figure out the most important reasons you have for losing weight and never let them go.
Find out where you are now by checking your BMI calculation
Yes, I know! We hate this statistic. But check it anyway and learn the truth of your situation.
Identify your excuses
Pay attention to your life and find out what is stopping you from reaching your goals. Here is a good line to listen for:
I want to do XXX, but I can’t because YYY.
YYY is your excuse. You will have a lot of them if you start listening for this phrase in your mind.
Learn and apply strategies to beat your excuses
Tackle each one of your excuses and figure out how you can overcome it. Then start trying as if your life depends on it.
Find and build on your strengths
Notice which of your strategies is working and keep doing it. Do not be discouraged by your failures. Learn from them instead. If you fail with one strategy, try it again, or try another tactic.
Never give up on yourself
The cavalry is not coming. You are the only person who can help yourself out of this mess. Other people have done it and you can too.
Action Step
Start journaling about your weight loss efforts. You can do this simply at the start. Just get any type of notebook and start keeping notes about your progress and thoughts. You can use your word processor or even blog about this with ulogs by @surpassinggoogle if you want to be public about it.

If they work it and keep going, they succeed. The failures come when they lose their commitment. Losing 100+ pounds is a long haul and keeping the focus is the issue once they have the skills. So many people give up on themselves and that is the heartbreaking part.
The ones who "get it" don't even need my help. They write to me and tell me they read something I wrote two years ago and now they are thin and healthy.
This is the problem with my coaching model! Some people contact me often and never get started, and others just take off and win. And most people do not even see my work at all. Those people continue to believe this is all their fault and that they can never change.

howdy fitinfun! I see, well what a mixed bag of reactions, you never know how your information is going to be recieved. All you can do is keep putting it out there and be available to people if they are serious about changing. Hey did you ever watch The Biggest Loser? Because they torture those people on there with workouts twice a day or whatever and they lose like 15 pounds a day supposedly!
