Stop Making These 12 Weight Loss Excuses - Part 1

Truth time: The biggest barriers standing between you and successfully losing weight are the excuses you make that keep you from getting started. We know how it goes…

I should do a quick workout… but I have three episodes of “Scandal” to catch up on.

I want to try that new chicken recipe… but I don’t have any ingredients. I’ll make it tomorrow.

I shouldn’t hit the drive-thru… but I’m tired and hungry. I’ll start eating better next week.

Making excuses for why you can’t stick to (or start) your healthy commitments is a common part of the weight-loss process. But now it’s time to develop techniques and strategies for busting those excuses so you can start making progress.

9 Tips For Busy Parents Trying To Losing Weight.

Kids have a knack for making even the simplest tasks approximately six billion times harder — just ask any parent who’s ever taken a toddler to the grocery store. So it’s no surprise that losing weight, which is challenging enough under the best circumstances, can feel downright impossible once kids enter the picture.

If your newborn didn’t get the memo about sleeping through the night, or your toddler has a tendency to rise and shine at 4 a.m., it can be hard to find the time or energy to do much of anything, let alone work out or cook a healthy meal from scratch. Add to that the pressure to spend every single solitary second bonding with your little ones, and it’s no wonder many parents are tempted to put their weight-loss goals on the back burner for a while — like, say, until their kids go off to college.
