Reflection on Excuses

Day 13 - No bingeing


I am thinking more today about excuses for not losing weight. I think one of my biggest excuses (even though I don't say it to myself or acknowledge it in a straightforward way) is I'm not that big. Fortunately, my weight does not mean I worry about fitting into a booth or breaking a chair. It does not add any risks to my health. I think subconsciously the price of not changing doesn't always seem so terrible.


However, my weight does make me uncomfortable, more inhibited, less confident, negative, and unmotivated. I am trying to own this and keep it at the forefront of my mind, so I can attack the problem. At the same time, I want to be careful not to harp on myself about my body because we all know that doesn't lead anywhere positive.
