Your Excuses Are Not Making You Any Skinnier

Many people want to lose weight and get in shape but fail to take action towards their fitness goals. DO NOT be one of these people. There is nothing more annoying than listening to people complain about their weight when it is clear they are making zero effort to change. In every friend group, there is always that one person (or multiple people) who continuously eats unhealthy foods and chooses to watch reruns of Laguna Beach instead of going to the gym and then proceeds to complain about being overweight or looking "fat as fuck in this dress."

If you want to get fit, stop making excuses! Your body does not care that it's your sorority sister's birthday or grad assistant appreciation day or your aunt's wedding shower. If you eat a piece of cake, the calories still count regardless of what event or holiday it is. I'm not saying that you should NEVER eat delicious treats, but I am saying that if you eat these treats and other unhealthy snacks or high calorie foods every day and continuously make excuses for why it is okay that you eat like shit,  do not complain about being fat. Obviously, eating healthy and avoiding shitty but delicious food is easier said than done. Sometimes it is hard to resist that piece of pizza or a handful of Doritos. But learn to have some will power. Will power is something that can be developed over time, and you can take small steps toward it each day. Eventually, resisting fattening food will get easier. Eventually, making yourself go to the gym or go for a run will get easier, too. Being too tired to workout is not a good excuse. Having had a bad day is also not an excuse. Being upset over drama or a fight with your friends is not an excuse either. 

To avoid making all of these excuses for why you are not working out or eating healthy, start planning these things into your day. Make an hour long workout part of your schedule rather than something you may do if you have time. You can make time! Make eating healthy a lifestyle, not just a week long thing. Too many people lose a bunch of weight and then assume they can start eating whatever they want again and stop exercising. This is incredibly false. Fitness is a lifestyle, not a short term thing. So, betches, do not be that person whining to everybody and their mother about how "fat" you are if you aren't doing anything about it and if you are making excuses. Your excuses are not making you any skinnier.
