Excuses that makes you fatter

People make excuses whenever it comes to losing weight and this is why they still remain fat. I made such excuses myself; in fact mine was outrageous, funny and dumb…..lol

The truth is that the more I create excuses the more I got bigger. Some of these excuses are:

• It runs in the gene: everybody in my family is fat, well my brothers and some sisters are not big so please who is everybody? The truth that we get fat as a result of eating too much and burning little calorie, if you are from a family that eat nonstop, it is obvious that you will eat nonstop too and no one will realise or understand how much they eat. Researchers have found time and time again that overweight has to do with what goes into the mouth. So let’s leave gene out of this and tell ourselves the truth. In my case, I didn’t eat junk, just buried myself in rice. 
• I weigh so much because I have big bones:   big bones or not, if you are overweight you are and there is no two ways about it. I made this excuse; the stupid part of it being that I have some tiny bones (am wondering how my legs were able to carry me all these while).
• I am too busy to lose weight: maybe you have kids, busy job. If losing weight is as vital as your job then you will understand that being busy just isn’t an excuse. Overweight kills, do you want to take care of your children and forget yourself? If you die early because of obesity related illness, what will happen to them?
• Food makes me happy: seriously? Food? people eat too much because of greed and selfishness. I suggest you find a hobby
• I have always been big: so freaking what, change is good and for you to live a healthy life, get up and do something. I was very tiny growing up, from tiny to fat then overweight. Well am taking charge of my life in that area. The body expands, if you keep eating and eating, it will continue to expand. One can always lose weight.
• Healthy foods are expensive: if it’s expensive try staying diabetes or hypertension. They are very cheap, vegetables like Ugu, Okro, beans, fish, chicken just check out local farm markets.

The earlier you start the better for you.
